smallgodseries:[image description: A thick-paged tome lies open inside a golden frame. It’s a pop-up book showing Sir John Tenniel’s classic illustration of Lewis Carroll’s 1871 poem ‘Jabberwocky’. Text reads, “81, POPOPOOK ~ the small god of MOVABLE BOOKS.Twas midnight and the dusty textDid rest and rise on bookshop shelves;All silent were the sequels, nextTo be becalmed themselves.“Beware the Popopook, my love,The modernized, the book club choice!Do not allow the fates aboveTo take away your voice!”The volume rose unsteadilyAnd into stacks it gallant went—To fight for author’s royalty,At least fifteen percent.And then a cover nearby stirred,Swung open wide, a mirror broke,And so he saw, in moving word,As the Popopook awoke.One, two! One, two! And through and throughHis poisoned pen did slash and skin!He felled the god and left its bodIn the remainder bin.“And hast thou slain the Popopook?Come to my index, brilliant bound!Oh glories great! You’ve skewed our fate!We will not rest unfound.”‘Twas midnight and the dusty textDid rest and rise on bookshop shelves;All silent were the sequels, nextTo be becalmed themselves.”]……………Artist Lee Moyer (13th Age, Cursed Court) and author Seanan McGuire (Middlegame, Every Heart a Doorway) have joined forces to bring you icons and stories of the small deities who manage our modern world, from the God of Social Distancing to the God of Finding a Parking Space.Join in each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a guide to the many tiny divinities:Tumblr: https://smallgodseries.tumblr.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallgodseriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallgodseries/Homepage: http://www.smallgodseries.com/ -- source link
