A View From Corona #2
February 22nd 2002 at 8:02 pm
One of the most interesting “in between” books I have stumbled across while living in San Francisco is A Face at the Window by Dennis McFarland. I ran across this book while haunting the bargain bins at Ninth Avenue Books, on my lunch hour. Ninth Avenue Books is a sister store to one of San Francisco’s largest used book stores, Green Apple Books. Sadly, the Ninth Avenue store recently lost its lease, and there will be no more lunch-time hauntings of their bargain bin.

When you think of San Francisco, what do you think of? Hippies and liberals? Alternate lifestyles? Cable Cars? Alcatraz? Fisherman’s Wharf? Clam chowder soup in sourdough bread bowls? Rice-a-Roni? When I think of San Francisco, I think of Corona Heights. A small, tucked away piece of mud and rock surrounded by an urban sea of cars and buildings. It has one of the best, and least known views of San Francisco. And it is the black, occult heart of The City — At least according to Fritz Leiber’s classic novel of urban horror, Our Lady of Darkness.
