Today I received an email request for inclusion in what was referred to (in a spectacular display of overstatement) as the "links area" of this website. It follows:

Hello:

I would like to submit my site for submission into your links area: SeanAlonzo.com.

SeanAlonzo.com is the official site of occult fiction author Sean-Alonzo, exploring symbolism, alternative history, philosophy, secret societies and other areas of the esoteric tradition.

Thanks For Your Help,
Sean-Alonzo

Being just, fair, and without any real desire to write about the wildfires engulfing San Diego, or "God's Righteous Fury" as I like to call them, I decided to visit the site. "Why not?" I thought to myself. "If there's something I enjoy more than alternative history such as Holocaust denial, it's an author that 'explores symbolism' in an impossibly vague and utterly useless way!"

And who can resist someone with a hypenate single-name moniker? Remember Ann-Margret? I'd like to explore her symbolism, if you know what I mean! With my penis!

I pointed my computer in the direction of Mr. -Alonzo's website. Though he purports to be an author of "occult fiction" in his email, the website advertises only one book -- a collection of free and clear works he edited like Marlow's Faustus and The Tempest. That's nonfiction, at least the way I figure it. More than esoteric whatever and secret societies, it plumbs the depths of nerdy namery -- it's called Cryptogrammatron, and it's only available as an e-book.

I don't mind telling you that I just took care of my whole Christmas list. Thanks, Sean-Alonzo!
