Two Literary Notices

Firstly, as of 12 August, sales of my book Beelzebub have reached double figures. While not exactly J K Rowling territory, this is at least one figure more than I ever hoped for. Thanks to all who bought, especially if you bought it to read rather than to prop up a table with one short leg or line a budgie cage or something.

Secondly, an article of mine on Robert Aickman's story "Niemandswasser" has been published in a new journal edited by S T Joshi, Studies in the Fantastic. The first issue also includes short fiction, poetry, an overview by Joshi of the correspondence between H P Lovecraft and Robert E Howard, and a very interesting piece on attitudes to cosmopolitanism as reflected in works such as Wuthering Heights, Le Fanu's "Green Tea", and Stoker's Dracula. Avoid procrastination and throng to the checkout now.
