Kissing the Beehive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kissing the Beehive is a fantasy novel by Jonathan Carroll, published in 1997, and the first novel of his Crane's View Trilogy.

The novel received renewed attention in early 2008, when Kissing the Beehive was announced as a tentative title for the second studio album by Canadian indie rock band Wolf Parade. After the existence of Carroll's book was pointed out to the band, the band retracted the title rather than risking a copyright infringement issue. Wolf Parade vocalist Spencer Krug said the band "didn't know that was the title of a book... We might have to change it, but we might not. And we'll have to make it clear that it's not [named] after his book. It's a complicated situation."^[1] The album's title was eventually announced as At Mount Zoomer, although it does include a song entitled "Kissing the Beehive".
