I am still here, but haven't had chance to add any input lately. A 'K' has appeared on the end of the link you've kindly added for me, so it doesn't work: www.shaunjeffrey.com/K |

Many thanks for your kind words on Aklo: much appreciated. Producing the magazine in the early 1990s proved great fun, though time-consuming, and I don’t think Mark Valentine and I ever covered our production costs, since we distributed so many copies free rather than selling them. Aklo does have a successor and a companion, The Lost Club Journal, its title taken from an 1890 mystery story by Machen, which celebrates not solely the fantastic but a wide variety of obscure, forgotten, cult and collected authors. These include people such as John Gawsworth, Julian Maclaren-Ross, Count Potocki, Francis Brett Young, Charles Williams, Ernest Dowson, Althea Gyles, Rider Haggard, Richmal Crompton, Peter Vansittart, Ronald Fraser, Wrenne Jarman, Joe Gould, H.A. Manhood, Christopher Millard, Count Stenbock and many others. Quasi-veridical authors such as Enoch Soames, C.W. Blubberhouse and Ephraim Ketchell also figured in the mix. The curious can read most, if not all, of this material at www.lost-club.co.uk courtesy of Ray Russell’s Tartarus Press. As for the Lost Club Journal as a booklet, it is not dead but sleeping. When the stars are right, it may well return. This was another enormous loss-maker financially. The Inland Revenue would never in a million years believe our balance-sheets! We have a mass of unpublished material on lost authors, currently imprisoned on an outmoded floppy disk, that may see print at some stage. |

Thank you for joining, Roger. I've added the Lost Club Journal link to those in the original post, as several of the authors you cover are of great interest to our readers. after an enthusiastic start we never really developed the Aklo thread - will maybe have another go at that. I also used to enjoy your contributions to the regular Ghost Story Gazetteer's feature in Ghosts & Scholars and I seem to remember an articles on Montague Summers in an early issue of the Gothic Society's journal before it changed it's name to Udolpho? Regards to Mark. Recently acquired his Wordsworth Editions anthology The Werewolf Pack. There's a thread for it on here some place, but best of luck finding it with our bad-tempered search engine! |

Thanks for the recommendation.
The Lost Club looks to be a lot of fun. I've book-marked it for later reading.

i'm glad you've reminded me of this threads existence, timothy, because it's in dire need of an update. Do you want me to change the name of your blog? i've added Mark Ellis & Noose & Gibbet publishing and removed Pantechnicon, hopefully only temporarily until it's rehosted.
If i left anyone out (or there's stuff here that needs removing/ updating), either add them below or just pm me. thanks.

.. and removed Pantechnicon, hopefully only temporarily until it's rehosted. Oooo, yes, sorry Dem - I should have thought to mention that. I kind of forgot it was linked here! Still no news on a new site yet I'm afraid. |

Right, there's now a new site - a Pantechnicon archive - at: removalvan.wordpress.com/At the moment, it doesn't have any of the previous issues on it - Troo has yet to put the PDFs on - but there it is anyway. I'll let you know once the PDFs are on there too. ;D |

Yes, do change it to "Z-7's HQ". The blog may have strayed from it's original focus. but I'm having fun just the same.  |

Myspace sites As a musician I sometimes can't access authors sites so if you have a myspace site could you do me a favour and add me as a friend - It's useful for the evil god of statistics myspace.com/craigherbertson |

Hello all. This being the first post I have ever made apologies for the way I've done it, I will find out how to do it properly.
I noticed someone asking about Man Myth and Magic, the magazine, possibly on the old site (?). I have an almost complete set that I need to move out of my loft, anyone care to suggest what they might be worth?
