I got my first glimpse of this at Flickr moments ago, and had to hurry here. Mudi does it again! My favourite BB cover so far!

thanks Charles. very pleased to see there are still a number of survivors from the debut. i'm guessing the official launch date is over the World Horror Convention weekend late March, but will it be available before then? Oh, and congratulations to the editor, the artist and 14 contributors.

I'll need two extra copies, Mr Black and if possible signed by the puppet master himself.
I was just thinking - these Mudie covers would make absolutely dandy posters - what about it?

Yes Dem, there's a launch/signing session for The Sixth Black Book of Horror at World Horror on Friday 26th 4:00-5:00pm which 11 contributing authors will be attending. But all being well I should have copies beforehand.

Looks superb, as ever Charles - and you've got Reggie Oliver in there again too! I do hope I can made it to WHC for the launch. ;D

all being well I should have copies beforehand. i think that's a good move, Dr. T. seems to me as though everyone and their pet spider will be launching a book at the WHC - who on earth will be able to afford everything that catches the eye? anyway, grubby fivers stuffed in envelope on way shortly (will e-mail). discreet packaging preferred but not essential.
