I love when this happens. I’m reading Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Silver Nitrate (real good so far) and came upon references to:
Jack Parsons, the real-life rocket scientist/occultist who died by blowing himself up, and whose biography, Strange Angel, I own but never got around to reading; it’s promoted to top-of-pile now
The Devil Rides Out, an especially great Hammer Horror movie I just received on Blu-ray for Christmas
These constellation moments always feel spectrally important.
