Yesterday was the sort of day that is endured, and that is about the best that can be said for yesterday. Well, no, it got much better after sunset. Byron came by, and we watched the entire first season of Simon Pegg's Spaced. I pretty much stopped watching TV comedy back in the early nineties, because I just didn't "get it" anymore. The characters ( Read more... )

I hope the world will forgive me for being just a little bitter that it isn't one of my "real" novels getting this sort of distribution.

I did notice that the Barnes & Noble near here, that never carried your novels before, suddenly has copies of Low Red Moon and Threshold next to the Beowulfs.

It occurs to me that lots of folks born after this story was written (the late seventies) won't even understand, at first or maybe not ever, what he means about the speaker.

Hey, I've been to drive-ins. There's still one open here in town.

I'm glad to hear about Barnes & Noble... now I can hope that the local Chapters will finally carry some durn Kiernan and I won't have to resort to the Internet.
Although they may find themselves quite confused, as they had Daughter of Hounds in the sci-fi section, so they won't be able to put any Beowulfs next to it...

The "Beeb" Has a lot of fun stuff to offer. Hex, Torchwood, MI5, all kinds of shows, imo. At the risk of sounding like a squealing fangirl, I've been a big admirer since I read Daughter of Hounds... after that, I had to go read a bunch of your other stuff... but I digress. I very much like to read your blog as well.

It is this reason I post today. Given your David Bowie predilection, I was wondering if you've seen this picture from the 70's that supposedly has just been found? Only Bowie can turn this kind of situation into yet another opportunity to casually titillate, or is it just me? The elegant bastard...

Tales of Pain and Wonder subtlesttrap November 12 2007, 04:58:50 UTC

Your mention of Winter's intro totally reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask you about the inclusion of "Mercury" in the 2008 edition of Tales of Pain and Wonder. I know you stated in a previous post that it was going to be included but I just wanted to double-check. I can't wait to have this edition sit next to my 1st edition signed hardcover, can you believe the 1st edition hardcover from Gauntlet Press is already fetching $175-$500 on the out of print market? Your short story collections are truly gorgeous packages that are worthy of hardcore collecting!
