it was crap and is of no interest whatsoever. Those two things don't necessarily go together (especially around here). JoJo - I've been meaning to ask for a while, but who is that in the photo you use for your avatar? I'm certain I know the face, but just can't quite place him.

I hope you are joking, but if this is a real problem we could make a little contest out of it. Who is he? Hint: He has been dead for 30 years, so it cannot be me.

And I never thought for one moment it was you. As I said, I know that it's a face I "know", and I assume it's probably a (very famous) writer, but I tend not to have much of a memory for the faces of people who don't actually matter in my life.

It's Robert Aickman, I think.
Ramsey or David would know, both having met him (RA that is, not JoJo).
Mark S.

You won't mind my asking what name you wrote under? I insist on my anonymity! Besides, it was crap and is of no interest whatsoever. I bet Johnny Mains knows. There isn't much he doesn't!

That's it Jojo. You claim it's crap, you don't want anyone to know. This could backfire. I'm afraid you've started a quiz show for the horror detectives here.

There's something sad about this conversation.

I think I heard of something like that once. The investigation itself was inconclusive, but several researchers ended up disappearing mysteriously.

There's something sad about this conversation. Absolutely not! It's one of the (many) things that makes the Vault the wonderful thing that it is. I have no idea if Jojo Lapin X has written anything I've read, but I rather hope he pm's me to reveal his tales as I would love to know what they are and if I've read any of them (I suspect I have). But if he prefers to remain anonymous then he will remain part of that wonderful, nebulous group of horror writers who served to make the 70s and 80s a better place.

Should we start a rumour that Jojo is actually Alex White?
