Speculative Fiction Not-So-Shorts: A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay

Okay, I realize that, up until now, I've almost exclusively posted short stories or poems in my Speculative Fiction features. But this one's different. This one's special. This is one of C.S. Lewis' favorite novels. This is one of Philip Jose Farmer's favorite novels. This is one of Alan Moore's favorite novels. This is, believe it or not, one of Harold Fucking Bloom's favorite novels - loved it so much he even wrote a sequel to it, as a matter of fact (and dig on that groovy cover, willya?). This is the one and only, hyperbole-inducing, sui generis science fantasy classic...
