*FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE*
January 18, 2012 Rockford, IL - Zombie
Logic Press is proud to announce the publication of Thomas L.
Vaultonburg's 4th book Submerged Structure.
"There's
a road sign, or was as of three years ago when the picture on the cover
of the book was taken, between Byron and Oregon Illinois. The sign
reads Submerged Structure, warning those who might be tempted to dive
in to the water of the Rock River that something unseen is resident
beneath the murky water. I grew up driving past that sign quite
frequently, and each time I passed it the words seemed to become more
and more personal to me. I would often wonder how many signs like this
in the entire world there were. Not many I concluded. Maybe not even
any. Maybe it's the only one in the entire world.
What lurks beneath the water there? I've never known. But to me it
seemed like a perfect metaphore for those of us who suffer from
Schizoid Personality Disorder. Except in our case there's no
sign
we can plant in the ground to warn others. Even if there were
it
would be virtually impossible to explain that some part of us has
broken off and submerged deep inside our psyche, and is either just
gone or nearly impossible to get to.
Nearly impossible." -Thomas L. Vaultonburg
