reading edge 18 at the mo - in the first 50 odd pages: two shootings to death and a castration - and a lot of dodgy puns!! (the best being after a bloke tried to force himself in a womans mouth and then got most of his face blown off - "well i guess he got what he wanted to - a little head...")
i'll let you know re the cade and the difference between the two edges.

^failed... picked up Mark Timlin's 'I spied a pale horse' - very much in the style of his work I've read (Filth etc) but, for me, not quite as good as the Sharman stuff. i think i read somewhere that this was meant to be the start of a series(?). Again it has a certain style and timlin is a 'ronseal' writer as in it does what it says on the cover - lots of violence, gore and blokey goodness.

cheers crab!
wasn't sure if it was the 'NEL 1st Edition' thing that racked up the price?? was surprised it was the only brit-western i could see.

wish i'd spotted this earlier (fifteen minute walk from home) but getting ready to move this week so a bit hectic.

popped down the book market beneath Waterloo Bridge today hoping to get a few Piccidilly Cowboys to try alas all i could find was Edge#21 (NEL 1st Edition) for £20! bit rich for my tastes. hoping to get to a couple of other second hand shops (particually Skoob at the Brunswick Centre) to try and, finally, find a couple of Brit cowboys.

recently watched 'the collector'(2009) which was better than I thought. written by the people who did the last three saw films it revolves around a burglar entering a huge home to steal a gem stone while the family are on holidayonly to find out someone go there first and the family never left...
