It seems to me a gothic romatic sort of age is dying along with this guy in our time. Not many candle and incense stores around anymore, a time of a more dreamish look at life., even if it be fantasy to some. However I'm sure it will be back, as all trends seem to repeat at a later time. These days a sort of harshness and crudeness seem to have replaced it, and I find myself continually wondering why.
Michael Peter Blatty, son of William Peter Blatty, writer of The Exorcist, lives in Salem Ma, had this to say about Shawn Poirier:

"I was very sad to read the news about Mr. Poirier on this site today. Although we never met, I often saw him about town and thought him a very clever and bright and colorful personality. His departure is a loss to this city as a whole, not just to his friends and loved ones, and a reminder - lest we require one - that we must never take one another for granted. He was, I could see, a tender soul. I trust that he will find kindred spirits in the hereafter".
I find the culture of the underworld gothic types to be wonderful in creative nature, not that I would at all fit in with them, I do admire them for their love of drama. I do think writers perpetuate some of the more creative side of us and it's nice to see that people awaken to it. Even as writers of a Breen landscapes evoke scenes of harsh repression, people recognize that for their own inner creative winter, imposed on them by others or perhaps themselves. Death takes and robs us all.
