		Larson played drums for Avail from '91-'99, and he was the singer-drummer of the Sludgecore band Kilara.
		The next surprise is, that Larson has played nearly all instruments on the complete album, only Sam Krivanec plays the bass and Kachina Oxendine has taken over a few vocal-parts, as in the beautiful and un-cheesy lovesong "Hardest Thing to Write About" (that's true!).
		But also Erik Larson's voice fits excellent to the songs, and he succeeded in creating an organic sounding album, where you really got the impression a complete band is playing the songs.

	Erik Larson on 100 year anniversary of the Galveston hurricane
		Erik Larson: No. There are some readers who seem to think that Isaac Cline was some kind of villain.
		Erik Larson: One of the most interesting examples of a storm surge was a storm surge on Lake Okachobi in Florida, when a hurricane storm surge raised on the lake killed 1200 people.
		Erik Larson: The train that approached from the Bolivar Peninsula was destroyed, and 85 people died.

	BookPage Interview February 2003: Erik Larson
		According to Larson, even while working on Isaac's Storm he continued to be tantalized not so much by Holmes himself but by the fact that Holmes lured young women to their deaths at his macabre World's Fair Hotel almost under the very lights of this great international attraction.
		Larson contrasts the story of Holmes with that of Daniel Hudson Burnham, the chief architect of the fair.
		Larson fleshes out his portrait of the age with lively stories about the competition between Westinghouse and Edison for dominance in the electricity market, the construction of the world's first skyscrapers, the practice of grave robbing among medical students.

		Whether you’re familiar with Erik Larson as the long haired/ long bearded driving guitar force behind Alabama Thunderpussy, or singer-drummer of sludge-core masters Kilara, or even as the juggernaut behind the drum set in AVAIL from 1991-1999, throw all of your preconceptions out the window.
		What is apparent in listening to Erik’s first solo offering, The Resounding, is that first and foremost Erik Larson is a damn good song writer.
		Larson has crafted a dense, personal, biting album that takes the listener on an emotional, political, and socially conscious ride, years in the making.

	Bookreporter.com - THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larson
		Larson takes his readers from the original inspiration for the Fair --- the impetus, interestingly enough was the creation and erection of a tower in Paris, France, by a gentleman named Alexande Gustave Eiffel --- through the excruciating planning, building and ultimate creation of the Fair.
		What Larson does, however, is run this story parallel to the account of the fiend --- no other word will do --- who called himself Henry H. Holmes and who preyed upon the unsuspecting who had come to Chicago for various and sundry purposes.
		Larson, in researching the enormous detail that is the hallmark of THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, directly perused contemporaneous documents, such as diaries, police reports and notes of the principals who are his subject matter.

		Indeed, hubris played a part in the story; as Larson's title indicates, the hurricane and its aftermath were truly born of the times.
		Larson proposes that Galveston residents were misinformed and were ultimately victims of the U.S. Weather Bureau.
		Larson's account reads like a novel, written in vivid and precise language that captures the drama and suspense and even poetry of the event yet avoids sensationalism.

	Isaac's Storm \| About the Author
		Erik Larson, a contributor to Time magazine, is the author of two previous books, Lethal Passage (Crown, 1994) and The Naked Consumer (Henry Holt, 1992).
		In one of his past lives, Larson wrote quirky features and major investigative reports for the Wall Street Journal, including -- when he was still single -- a front-page story about a video-dating service, which got him 500 letters, a girlfriend, and a couple of marriage proposals.
		Larson grew up in Freeport, Long Island in the peak hurricane years of the late 1950s and 1960s, surviving one major hurricane and a few smaller ones -- if only barely, given his passion for swimming at Jones Beach right before and after each storm.

	"The Devil in the White City" By Erik Larson
		Now Erik Larson, whose account of the 1900 Galveston, Texas, hurricane, "Isaac's Storm," vividly re-created that disaster, tries a new approach to the expo, but he winds up in a blind alley.
		In Larson's scheme of irony, Holmes' alter ego was Daniel Burnham, chief architect of the fair, a hard-working visionary whose talents overcame mighty obstacles to create a great triumph.
		Alternating chapters of Burnham's accomplishments with Holmes' depravity, Larson drives his book to what should be the intersection of his characters' lives, but the stories are as far apart as the Museum of Science and Industry and the Loop.

	Etude \| Winter 2003 \| Erik Larson
		ERIK LARSON IS THE AUTHOR OF THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER, ISAAC’S STORM, and two previous books, Lethal Passage and The Naked Consumer.
		Larson’s upcoming book, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America, is the story of two men -- an architect and a serial killer – whose lives were defined by the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.
		The book is a study in contrasts: the glorious fantasy of the "white city" created for the World’s Fair versus the reality of the dark industrial one that was turn-of-the century Chicago; the civic-minded visionary versus the calculating killer; good versus evil.

		It is possessed by the fresh, pioneering spirit of Sullivan, Burnham, Wright, the first skyscraper, a climb of steel and elevator to the sky, and the World Columbian Exposition of 1893 that rocketed the bold ascendancy of architecture as a profession and architects as keepers of can-do civic pride.
		How neat: Erik Larson, who has captured that feeling in his national bestseller, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Mayhem at the Fair That Changed America, will serve as opening keynoter at the AIA national convention, June 10 in Chicago.
		Larson’s narrative skill is buoyed by the fact that the 1893 World’s Fair—as a slice of history—is just so darned interesting.

		Larson: That's the compelling thing about the Gilded Age, that sense of unbounded creative energy without the buffering forces that would exist today.
		Larson: The book that comes to mind is Mickelsson's Ghosts by John Gardner, which remains in my perception the richest, most detailed, most nuanced portrait of a man that I have ever read.
		Larson: I had a sense from the start that if I did a book about the World's Fair alone, I'd get some readers who were really into fairs, but not that big a readership.

		Larson does an excellent job of piecing together Isaac's life and reveals that Isaac was not the quick- thinking hero he claimed to be after the storm ended.
		Erik Larson's book on the deadliest hurricane in history has two main focal points: the hurricane itself; and the human drama of Isaac Cline, the Galveston meteorologist who failed to predict the intensity of the storm.
		If you are afraid of storms or of water, you might not want to read this book because Erik Larson puts you right there when the storm debris is caving in the side of your house, or when the "tide suddenly rises fully four feet at one bound".

		In the note "Evils Imminent," Erik Larson writes "Beneath the gore and smoke and loam, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow" [xi].

		But Erik Larson -- author of the remarkably fierce and equally fact-driven tale of the Galveston hurricane of 1900, Isaac's Storm -- fuses history and histrionics into one fine reference book called The Devil in the White City (Vintage).
		But Larson does well, molding the true tale of that "town's" architect, Daniel H. Burnham, with the rumors-and-reality of that era's most formidable (and first) serial killer, "Dr." H. Holmes.
		Larson is a meticulous detailer, not only of two men's arch ambitions but of America -- a nation willing to suffer all manner of foolishness and evil in its hunger to succeed.

	Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson Detailed Book Review
		Larson shows quite clearly the confluence of human error, arrogance and politics that created an environment ripe for just such a catastrophe.
		It sheds much needed light on Isaac Cline and his storm, and I'm glad that Erik Larson was distracted from his original research and led down the path to Galveston.
		I suspect Larson's take on Cline's actions on September 8 is relatively close to the truth, but I don't think it will sit well with some.
