Just a note or two: _Carmilla_, the novella by Sheridan LeFanu, was
indeed the subject of an early song by Kate Bush. Probably called
simply "Carmilla", its official title cannot be determined, since
the recording (as well as all the other twenty-two so-called "Cathy Demos")
has never been acknowledged by Kate. Kate's "Carmilla" is a short, 
exquisite reflection on the central romantic dilemma in the story.
   A question was posed about the number of Kate-related fanzines
in operation at this time. There are a lot:
 
   1. The Kate Bush Club "Newsletter" (the only official fanzine--U.K.);
   2. "Homeground" (the oldest, and arguably the best, fanzine--U.K.); 
   3. "Still Breathing" (an offshoot of the defunct "Break-Through"--Canada); 
   4. "Watching Storms" (an Amateur Publishers Assoc. fanzine--U.S.);
   5. "Little Earth" (an offshoot, or digest, of "Watching Storms"); 
   6. "Little Light" (U.S.);
   7. "Lone Star Lionhearts" (Kevin Hendryx's Texas-based fanzine);
   8. "Never Forever?" (formerly, "Cariad Kate International"--out of Wales);  
   9. "Kate" (The Netherlands);
  10. "Dreaming Fairies" (a collectors' magazine--Germany);
  11. "The First and Last Forever" (Italy);
  12. "N'Abandonne Pas" (France);
  13. "In the Morning Fog" (the latest Japanese fanzine);
  14. "Dreamtime" (Australia);
  15. "Love-Hounds", or "rec.music.gaffa" (the international computer forum).
  
      There have also been, at one time or another, a U.S. fanzine
called "After the Party"; a Scottish fanzine called "Blow Away"; a British 
fanzine called, variously, "Under the Ivy" and "Kate"; a Japanese 
fanzine called, variously, "Kate" and "Lionheart"; the U.S. "Wickham St.
Irregular Quarterly", publisher of "The Garden", a KT resource; Gillian Gaar's 
Washington-State humorous fanzine, "For the Love of Kate"; Cynthia
Kiley's "Reaching Out" fanzine; and a U.S. fanzine called "The Big
Sky Forum"--making a grand total of twenty-three different Kate Bush
fanzines to date, that IED is aware of.
