Our Lady of Darkness (1977)
“Almost all my information comes from a couple of the not-so-close and hardly well-beloved friends of de Castries’s last declining years: George Ricker, who was a locksmith and played go with him, and Herman Klaas, who ran a secondhand bookstore on Turk Street and was a sort of romantic anarchist and for a while a Technocrat. And a bit from Clark Ashton Smith. Ah, that interests you, doesn’t it? It was only a bit—Clark didn’t like to talk about de Castries. I think it was because of de Castries ...and his theories that Clark stayed away from big cities, even San Francisco, and became the hermit of Auburn and Pacific Grove. And I’ve got some data from old letters and clippings, but not much. People didn’t like to write down things about de Castries, and they had reasons, and in the end the man himself made secrecy a way of life. Which is odd, considering that he began his chief career by writing and publishing a sensational book. Incidentally, I got my copy from Klaas when he died, and he may have found it among de Castries’s things after de Castries died—I was never sure.MoreLess
