When Did Piers Anthony Lose His Fucking Mind?

He's always been sort of hacky— and a long time ago he parked his car in crank territory, had a stretch, went for a walk, and never came back— but when exactly did Piers Anthony lose his fucking mind?

Is there some demarcation we can point at? Was it after Del Rey dropped him? Was it when his afterword started outsizing the story in every novel? Was it after his third— THIRD!— finale in the "Incarnations" series? Was it when he started writing actual child porn?

Click on it! It's fucking real!

In other news, I'm not feeling well. Lay myself down for a nap around four, and that was pretty much my Halloween. Going back to bed now.
