Erratum: "The Replacement"
Nov. 8th, 2008 01:14 pmI got my contributor's copies of The Willows 2.3 today, with the Booth story "The Replacement," and discovered, as does sometimes happen, that a fairly serious error had crept into the text. So, if you happen to seek out the magazine, the paragraph spanning the bottom of p. 51 and the top of p. 52 should read:
I retreated, lurching, to the crate of books, where I sat down heavily and attempted to think rather than to panic. I found that I could not turn my back on the mirror, which made matters nearly impossible at first, until in desperation, I grabbed Colter Harriman's copy of Presteign's Darkest Africa and Her Denizens and stared fixedly at the frontispiece portrait of the author with a dead rhinoceros. Compared to the dead woman reflected in the mirror, it was queerly soothing.
