Actually, the name is Leliah Wendell, and it's a she, not a he. She also believes herself to be Death's soulmate. I'm not going to even BEGIN to go into that.
I have that book, I've never tried anything from it as it's really not my style. I got it more to round out my library and collection more than anything else. She also published another one, Our Name Is Melancholy: The Complete Books of Azrael. It's a decent read, fairly entertaining, but still. She doesn't strike me as someone who's entirely there. As for the book itself, I'm not sure if it's still in print--I found my copy ten or fifteen years ago.
Well she's not the first one to make such claims, I've heard many like that, esp. about Azrael.
It's called schizophrenia, they usually believe to be something important due to their psychological inner desires, and they form illusions of the mind.
Regardless, she may have some good insight on what she writes, due to her schizophrenic obsessions.
Thanks for the review guys.
