I thought Evil Editor was, maybe, a cutesy nickname for a kinda reckless guy who’d bumped his noggin too many times, ya know, like Evel Knievel, only instead of jumping a bike over a canyon he’d just never listened when his teachers told him not to rock on the back two legs of his desk chair.
Or maybe it a coolish reference to EE’s passing-ultra hipness, like, “wow, those new adverbs you backformed are really eeeeevil.”
But look at this. In a critique of a query letter describing a paranormal romance, Evil Editor posted a link to this painting of an incubus by Henry Fuseli.
I clicked on the link . . . I looked at the painting . . . I looked AGAIN. . . Am I the only one who noticed this?????
Yikes!!!!
