The old blog here has been woefully neglected, books have come and gone recently and they’ve had no mention at all here. So consider this an info dump of sorts, a quick listing of the books I’ve played a part in since the last proper update.

Proper service will return soon. I can feel it.

Hob’s Lane. Issues 1-2 of 3 are out from Blue Fox Comics. Written by me, art by Roy Huteson Stewart and letters by Paul McLaren.

And the latest big news, the Kickstarter for The Gentlemen Ghouls collected edition was a runaway success and the physical editions lives! All three volumes together at last. Written by me, with art by Alfie Gallagher and letters/design by Bram Meehan. Huge thanks to all who backed it, and equally massive thanks to David Lloyd at Aces Weekly for taking a chance on it all those years ago.

A proper update about The Gentlemen Ghouls will follow, soon.

Unofficial Britain is a celebration of the uncelebrated.

A champion of the overlooked.

A history of the forgotten.

Click that link to visit a most interesting new site curated and run by Gareth E. Rees, author of Marshland: Dreams and Nightmares on the Edge of London.  I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Gareth was kind enough to post some odd ephemera of mine, London Murder Poems, which you can view here.

Afternoon.

There’s a bit of a write-up and interview with me about comics and what-not over on downthetubes.net. Grateful thanks to John Freeman.

Further to the info in the article linked above, my malformed short story collection Get It Down and Other Weird Stories will be released at some point in October.

Went to the Roger Waters show last Wednesday, a great gig.

And to the Manic Street Preachers gig last Friday, which was even greaterer.

(Not my video)

Brilliant show.

Writing projects soldier on, some with trench-foot and the odd missing limb. Wheels are still turning. Gears are still spinning efficiently and shedding teeth in equal measure. So much stuff either half-finished or half-outlined that it’s not remotely funny.

A pint. Yes. That’ll make it better.

I was lucky enough to get my mitts on this yesterday. Lovely piece of work by Richard T. Cole.

Where Webb’s River meets the sea. Odd.

Further lunchtime wanderings through the derelict factory lands.

Lovecraft by the brilliant Ben Templesmith.

Almost as unsettling as an actual photo of the man. Superb. Thanks Ben!
