One of the many reasons I love reading Jeff VanderMeer: 

"At night, only half the street lamps in Ambergris worked,
but all across the skyline phosphorescence dripped and
bled and hazed in and hazed out again. Sometimes, a
cloud of vermillion spores would form in mid-air and settle
down over a building, stretching across its bricks or wood
or stone like a second skin, before moving on or dissipating.
In one extreme case, Finch had seen the spores take on
the form of a huge, bloated green monster with spiraling
red eyes. It had bellowed and dived down into a neighbor-
hood to the north, smashing itself into motes against the
ground.
                                         . . .

Strange things sometimes flew between the two towers,
and sometimes the sky there was not the same color.
Sometimes, during the day, a night sky with unfamiliar
stars hung like a draped cloth between those towers.
Seeing something like that too many times altered you.
He didn't ever want it to become ordinary."—JV

I also find his manic glee in recently discovering Battlestar Gallactica
delightful.
   Okay, yes. He's a bit late coming to the party, but the guy writes
like a crazed siren on ecstasy. I can forgive him many things.

I am evil. Despicable. An unredeemable miscreant. A Philistine. 
Who else would buy a set of hot wheels for a beautiful little boy;
then consider keeping it, replacing same with...a box of saltines?
A tin of binder clips? A spindle full of CDs!
   It's just...damn. They're cool...
   I wonder if he'd like a ream of office paper...
   Yeah. I'm navel lint.


* You may be relieved to know I've since resolved my moral
  dilemma. He gets the Batmobile Hot Wheels Die Cast Set
  Ltd. Edition; I get the 1930's  Batmobile. 
  It's good to be the adult.
  Vroom Vroom!
