Apparently there's a 1000+ page book of Irish ghost stories to go along with horror volume, though I have't seen it.
Totally agree the Wordsworths deserve much notice and praise - taken in toto they provide an excellent introduction to the classics of the genre.

By Clovis' beard! Would you have us believe the Killercrab was in truth an earth-pig born?

His biography is just as dark and twice as sad.

Yes absolute tragedy. I have a feeling he would have developed his talent even further when the acclaim began to pour in

Tarim's blood you drunken sot! - I'm an sea- crab born you know?! Bring me another flagon now !! Where are the dancing girls?!!
Meanwhile ...
I thought Sim did a marvellous parody of BWS' Conan and I'd love to have read all 300 issues of his book - however weird he got! Quite fancy some of those compilation books - I have some of the early ones with colour covers - one includes a brilliant BWS back-up strip.

I met Derek Wright from Wordsworth at the Zardoz fair, and gave him an idea for something to go publish (he's having a dig to see if it's in copyright or not) but I'm also going to be interviewing him for the allthingshorror website. So if you have any questions - pm them to me or send them to johnny@allthingshorror.co.uk - it should be really interesting to see what they have to say.

1. What happens when an author is so obscure that it's impossible to trace them, as is the case with many of those encountered in our Between the Wars:Gruesome Cargoes section? Would the publisher be covered if they ran a note to the effect that Every effort has been made to trace the owners of the copyright material in this book .... in case of any question arising as to the use of any material, the publisher/ editor will be pleased to make the necessary corrections in future editions of the book
2. Do Wordsworth have any plans to reprint Rymer's Varney, The Vampire?

I'd be interested to know what sort of sales figures Wordsworth are looking for on these Mystery & Supernatural titles and what their perception is of the current market for this kind of stuff.
