Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on January 29, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Jonathan Carroll! May your day be filled with more magic than "The Land of Laughs," fewer fiery mishaps than "Sleeping in Flame," and enough whimsical adventures to fill an entire Dog Museum. Your imagination has enchanted readers worldwide, earning you prestigious honors like the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award—clearly, reality just can't keep up with your fantastical brilliance.

Here's wishing you another year of literary wizardry, surreal surprises, and endless inspiration. May your stories continue to blur the lines between dreams and reality—because let's face it: normal is overrated anyway. Cheers!
