... anything NEW in a Narnia universe that was not written by C.S. Lewis. If the universe was not created to be shared by multiple authors (Thieves World) then it should not be written by such! When the creator is dead, he/she is dead. One cannot write new Mozart tunes; stories are no different.
What _really_ galls me is all the excellent talent out there that can't get a break in the industry, and then publishers turn around and stand on the backs of dead people just to make a buck. I'd buy more books if there were more books worth buying, but the only stuff I see on the bookshelves are boring rehashes of the same old carp.
When I see Paul Kidd and Elizabeth McCoy novels, I'll snap them up at whatever price they are offered. But Harper will wait until the sun explodes before I'll buy a Narnia book not written by Lewis himself. The Nerve!!
Reality is not only stranger than we think, it's stranger than we CAN think!
