Of course, we will have the full title and sub. on Rosemary's book of essays... So Ramsey, hope the ghost of MRJ isn't influencing your black pilgrimage decision! Or perhaps there's some MRJ bedevilment afoot!! Perhaps a writer of essays on a certain highly regarded weird fiction writer might figure in your pilgrimage?😨

I think it is a stunning lineup! Edward Berglund has done a mammoth job tracking down material and editing it all for this collection. Wade did pitch a collection to Arkham House, but it never came to pass. This book collects everything that would have been in that volume and a whole lot more.

I've realised that I've only ever read one story by James Wade: "The Deep Ones". But I liked that very much. The book is a real bargain and I definitely want a copy. Can I pay for it with a cheque, David? |

Post by piglingbland on Feb 10, 2018 14:28:04 GMT
Yes, a cheque is perfectly acceptable. Please make it payable to my name, rather than SP. The additional postage is £2.80.  |

Thank you Rosemary. A copy is in the post today. It's just arrived. Looks great, but I only got as far as the contents page when it was snatched away - sadly not by a supernatural force but by Darroll as it's intended as a birthday present (end of the month). He's hidden it away! |

I'm sure it'll be worth the wait! Meanwhile, here's Wade's poem My Love, reprinted from Omniumgathum, Stygian Isle Press, 1976.

Yes, it is. I don't think anyone, least of all David or I, was expecting it to be so soon! But once I get started on something I like to see it through quickly, and clearly David is of like mind! |
