Gaslight Press is the current owner of the license for the role-playing game system Everway, which was originally created by Jonathan Tweet, who is also the current owner of Gaslight.
A fragmentary text composed of both elements of fiction and elements of memoir, Gaslight is the author's attempt to reconcile her often painful past with her current mission -- and, perhaps, to determine the worth of both.
Gaslight was begun as a preface to that novel (Fat Rosie) and soon spun itself into a new text, a so-called memoir in which Guess utilizes "a fictitious self, a narrator who is neither me nor not me, neither wholly intimate nor wholly other." Guess therefore defies simple criticism.
At times, Gaslight resembles a writer's notebook, filled with stumbles ("...hair the color of absence...") and achievements ("the kiss, when it came, had all the force of the lost war behind it").
Although there is a reluctance to discuss the matter in official circles, and little information has been given to the Press, there are still indications that the statement of this arch-criminal is corroborated by the facts, and that we have at last found a solution for a most astounding business.
As the matter is eight years old, and as its importance was somewhat obscured by a political crisis which was engaging the public attention at the time, it may be as well to state the facts as far as we have been able to ascertain them.
Indeed, among the various conjectures which were put forward in the public Press, there were some which seriously asserted that supernatural, or, at least, preternatural, agencies had been at work, and that the deformed Monsieur Caratal was probably a person who was better known under a less polite name.
