Friend posted this on Facebook, and it drew my attention not only for being inherently interesting but also, frankly, because my name’s in it. However, I must clarify: I am not actually the James Russell referred to (though I kind of wish I was). I was kind of precocious as a reader and writer, but when I was five years old (as I was in 1980 when this was published) I was not yet capable of writing anything like that, and was definitely not au fait with ancient Greek curse tablets. And if I did know the phrase “see you in hell, punk”, I would’ve been fairly actively discouraged from using it…
