As befits its name, Shipwreck Library is a sprawling site, an eclectic labyrinth
devoted to literature, film, music, and gaming. Featuring several
thematically-grouped sub-sites, Shipwreck Library is divided into two major
sections:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MODERN WORD
Founded in in 1995 to explore and celebrate “difficult” works of
twentieth-century literature, The Modern Word ran until about 2005. After a
ten-year hiatus, I’ve been restoring, revising, and updating its content here at
Shipwreck Library. I have been generously assisted by many wonderful writers and
editors, both old hands and fresh faces. The following sites are now live:
James Joyce: The Brazen Head
The Brazen Head is dedicated to the life and works of James Joyce.
Jorge Luis Borges: The Garden of Forking Paths
The Garden of Forking Paths is the oldest English-language Borges site on the
Web.
Thomas Pynchon: Spermatikos Logos
Spermatikos Logos is dedicated to exploring the works of Thomas Pynchon.
Reviews
This page collects book and film reviews written for The Modern Word.
In 2023 I hope to restore Apmonia, the Samuel Beckett site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAMING SITES
Shipwreck Library also hosts the material I have written for various roleplaying
games:
Deadlands 1876
Set in the American Centennial, this “Weird West” game blends elements of
alternate history, horror, and steampunk.
Vampire: The Masquerade
Originally online as “New York by Night,” this fin de siècle campaign was online
from 1995–2006.
Call of Cthulhu
A collection of material and campaign modifications for Chaosium’s Call of
Cthulhu, set in the fictional worlds of H.P. Lovecraft.
White Leviathan
Set onboard a Kingsport whaling ship from 1844–1846, this epic Call of Cthulhu
campaign is inspired by Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. This project will likely
occupy most of my creative energies for 2022-2023, and is being added piecemeal
to Shipwreck Library in hope of eventual publication.
