I'm looking forward to my copy. Some of my favourite writers are in this volume, which bodes well.

There are some REALLY bloody good stories in this one. And it's amazing to see a story from Ian C Strachan again! A true privilege to be trapped inside these twisted covers. Well done Charlie.

Good on yer Charles. I like the way you're building a stable of Black Book authors in the manner of HBT and, of course Mary Danby in her Fontana days, but you really should include a story of your own! ... and if I beg, plead and offer to lick your boots till they shine you might even sign a copy for me, I guess? Treacherous damsel! I turn my back for five minutes and you're prostrating herself at the feet of another.

... and if I beg, plead and offer to lick your boots till they shine you might even sign a copy for me, I guess? Treacherous damsel! I turn my back for five minutes and you're prostrating herself at the feet of another. Yes, but he cruelly rejected me, Dem - or said that I didn't need to lick his boots anyway. Still, he's an editor - I guess cruelly rejecting people is what editors do! Can I lick your boots instead, Dem? Please, pretty please? Oh, BTW Charles, PayPal payment is on its way to you - and I've made a strange request. I don't know if you'll ever have had anyone ask if you'll do that for them before ...

I think I may have done too, but even my doctor admits i'd been wrongly prescribed last summer .... Can I lick your boots instead, Dem? Please, pretty please? Oh, i'll think about it. I suppose. As luck would have it, i've got a brand new pair of monkey boots to go with my really battered up spiky ones, so lemme know which you prefer. If it's the monkeys, you'll have to give me half an hour so i can go out and step in something unpleasant first, mind. A little more grovelling in the meantime perhaps and ... who knows? Charles; if and when people start reviewing the book, should they start a new thread or continue with this one? I'm thinking three pages of preliminary might be stronging it, but it's up to you! Can I lick your boots instead, Dem? Please, pretty please? Sorry, but i liked it so much, i had to quote it twice. Thats me sorted for a new signature.

I think I may have done too, but even my doctor admits i'd been wrongly prescribed last summer .... But you don't even know what I've asked him to do for me yet!! It's nothing sinister or naughty, honest - it's just .. well, embarrassing. Can I lick your boots instead, Dem? Please, pretty please? Sorry, but i liked it so much, i had to quote it twice. Thats me sorted for a new signature. Is that enough, Dem? I mean, can I stop licking now? And, yes, I think starting a new thread for BBoH4 reviews would probably be the best idea as I've gone and messed this one up now with my silly girly ramblings ...

New thread in the anthology section, I think, Dem.
Caroline, I'll give it a go, but I warn you it'll be crap! And thanks for the order.

Caroline, I'll give it a go, but I warn you it'll be crap! You're a star, Charles - it'll be brilliant, I know it will! ;D Little touches like that make a book unique.

Hooray! Just got into work and found my copy waiting for me on my desk. And a singed copy at that (so much rarer than a signed copy, even if the edges are still smoking). That's my lunchtime bus reading sorted out, then! Cheers, Charles!
