We interrupt this blog for a brief commercial announcement:

The 2009 Rolling Darkness Revue chapbook, featuring new stories by Pete Atkins, the unjustly neglected Edwardian near-genius Thomas St. John Bartlett, and me, is now available through my website at:

The book also includes a fascinating, scholarly introduction by Barbara Roden about Bartlett’s life and work, plus commentary from Mike Ashley and other noted genre scholars.

More on the Bunk news as soon as I’m allowed to say anything. But I can probably hint that this time next year, there’ll be a different sort of commercial interruption/shopping suggestion on this site. And if I’m not allowed even to hint, well, too late now…
