Hello again, dear listener. You may have noticed that we accidentally ended up with a week of books – Rich Hawkins and his scary Plague Trilogy; Scott R Jones and his resonating Cthulhusattva: Tales of the Black Gnosis, and lastly Crystal Lake’s Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories. So we’re ending the week with a shout-out for a friend, author Ash Krafton and her YA/New Adult work (see later below), with some memento mori. Not quite the same sort of tales as the aforementioned, but a change is as good as a poke in the eye with a rolling stone, they say.

In other news, noted (-ish) author John Linwood Grant continues to write stuff and struggle with three dogs at the same time. The Ancient One, Twiglet, has developed yet more lumps (as usual) and a strange bald patch on her back, meaning additional vet home visits and the need to write much faster to pay for them. Chilli sleeps a lot due to the minor increase in temperature – she don’t like heat – and Django spends his time chasing flies…

Fiction under way includes a genuine Sherlock Holmes story, without a psychic in sight, more Tales of the Last Edwardian and possibly a bit of unrelated horror. Two new Carnacki the Ghost Finder stories by old greydog himself will be coming out in July, as mentioned last week, one of them almost setting the scene for the coming of the Last Edwardian. Here’s the current cover concept, from Ulthar Press – final details and release date will be finalised soon.
