penny dreadfuls leave the world of steam behind and enter the fibre optic age. and probably best read after a trip to the optics...
varney the vampire. springheel jack. (hopefully) daily instalments from now on. art to come. no plot!! it just starts and goes like the penny dreadfuls of yore.

There's some ripping stuff here. Who says the great age of pulp is gone? There is just one thing. I've been looking at lots of pages, and so far I haven't found any hordes of rats, flocks of rabid bats or Nazi commanders operating robot giant squid. Is there any chance of any of these soon, do you think?

Ripping Rottenness: The bouncing bodice ripper surprises yet another helpless victimChrissie Demant There is just one thing. I've been looking at lots of pages, and so far I haven't found any hordes of rats, flocks of rabid bats or Nazi commanders operating robot giant squid. Is there any chance of any of these soon, do you think? Relax, Rog. As far as I remember, that's all penciled in for Chapter 375. Top work, Mr. pulphack! You just can't beat a splash of Victorian vileness with bonus sweary bits!

Cool stuff!
Maybe you should also set it up as a subscription email so everyone gets their next installment in their inbox each day...

Ooh! That sounds frightfully technical! You could always subscribe to the RSS feed and, if you have a google account, you can keep up with your daily dose that way.

of course, announcing an almost-daily frequency was bound to be the kiss of death. those few readers may have noticed nothing for the last fortnight. this will continue for the next two weeks. a brief brush with poor health has meant that i've had to drop everything and concentrate on finishing my current contract, which has two weeks left to run. once that's delivered, i can relax a bit and then go back to varneyjack. which is, frankly, more fun to write these days. but that might just be because it's not a long-haul with a deadline that's looming!

Stick with it, Mr. Hack! I particularly like this Haining chap who's taken it upon himself to destroy Sir Francis. Hopefully, the break will give people a chance to catch up with the story to date, as it's developing into a right ripping yarn.
