But that reminds me that I didn't finish the description of the cover.
The cover I was very, very determined about.
My wife is very good with imagery and design and I was very determined not to have my face on the cover of the book as usual.
I've written books before, huh?
Could have been there.
Yeah, could have put it there, but it was.
Went for the fly.
Now, I know Beelzebub, a lord of the flies, you know, I didn't find that out until after I'd done it.
But what it was that, like, what I thought was, you know, there's something, I don't know where it is in C.S.
Lewis, because I'm reading some compendium, huh?
Yeah.
There's one bit where he says, even before the creation of the universe,
He knew and felt the scars and the wounds on his back pressed against the cross and the flies gathering on the wounds on his back.
That's so sort of like so particular and so awful and gory and ghoulishly beautiful.
But it stayed with me, and in my mind, at least, I replaced the idea of iron filings clanging into my abdomen with the idea of it being flies.
And then when I found out, actually, after it had been done, Beelzebub, Lord, means literally Lord of the Flies, I thought, oh, no, then this is like some sort of satanic cross.
But then I thought, no, what is he doing on the cross?
It's like he's pulling all that in.
The poison out of me.
And it's satisfying when you see that happen.
