Dirigibles? Check. Lusty pirates? Check! Cigar and pipe smoking? Check!! Studebakers? Check!!! Teslapunk? Check!! The story of the Dirigible Pirates, which has been accepted by most people as being a work of fiction, is in fact an historical account of future events. That is to say, when the future becomes the past, and the present becomes irrelevant, the story of our Pirates will become an accepted part of our cultural and historical baggage. Yes friends, these are the stirring historically autobiographical tales of that intrepid band of pirates, their sanctuary in The Great North Woods ...

This is a Mid-Century Modern science-based novel. In point of fact, Tales from the Black Hart is the foundational series of novels in the Mid-Century Modern school of literature and architecture. What then, you ask, constitutes, and characterizes the key MCM attributes? Examples please, Professor? Can a dirigible be MCM? Certainly. Even more-so if it is painted like a Faberge Egg. Are pink and black bathroom subway tile MCM? Sadly, yes. The Savinelli 614 Hungarian style tobacco pipe? Rustic finish? Of course, my friend. What about kindly elderly mad-scientist professors shuffling about in ...

Yes, there are more tales from the Black Hart Library and this effort was titled accordingly. You might ask, “And what will follow this? Even More Tales?” Stay tuned friends.

The flat leather drive belts with ...

The Black Hart Library – Its not that the Livonians are inherently evil, really it is only that the residents of that small duchy tend to hire themselves out to the lowest bidder, and if the Livonians are in for a penny, why then the of course the Grüsonians (Gruesonians) are in for a pound. Stirling. Perhaps the evil Doctor Minneapolis St. Paul, (so named because her parents thought Minneapolis a far better city than Madison on even the worst of days), along with various immense financial entities are behind the perfidy of the Livonians et al. It is entirely possible that Professor ...
