Interzone books

[dem bones]

If you're in the vicinity of Aldgate over a weekend, be sure to drop in at The Tea Rooms, opposite The Vibe Bar and next door to 146 Brick Lane, E1, as friend Milan's Interzone books now has a BRILLIANT stall there - it's where i've snagged most of the vintage NEL, Sphere, Everest and sundry Black Magic atrocities that've shown up here in recent weeks. Milan also has a stall in Spitalfields Market, Commercial Street on Thursdays. Nice, friendly guy is Milan. Tell him you're from Vault and/ or Paperback Fanatic as he's well aware of both, having had me drone on and on about 'em for ages.

Times are:
Every Saturday 11am- 6pm | Every Sunday 10am-5pm

but check with Milan first at:

infoATinterzonebooks.com (as ever, replace the AT with @ - i don't wanna be responsible for giving him spam)

The long-threatened online shop should be up this week, so further details of that as and when.

Thanks Nik

Checked out the Interzone website.

Looking good.

I'll have to ask them to send me a list of all their books.

Cheers: Jaq.

The site is slowly coming together but there'll be a LOT more on there over the next few months, i'll wager. I still can't get over the stall! Those of you who've attended a Zardoz will know that Vault and organising things don't usually go hand in glove, but maybe a few of the London-based pulpheads and pulphacks could meet up some time in 2010? Strictly on a don't blame me when it all goes wrong basis, he added hurriedly ... .

A vote from me for a Pulp Gathering in London. Although I'm out in the sticks, given enough notice I could find room in the Fanatic Diary. It's a very good suggestion which resonates with me as I recently stumped up for a ticket for the World Horror Convention which was extortionate and I suspect I've paid for Jim Herbert to stay in a penthouse suite and subsidised a load of navel-gazing discussion sessions with Ramsey Campbell.

I was chin-wagging with the Mains that there should be a Vault Convention for which the price of admission is a flagon of cider and a dog-eared NEL horror to swap. I'd even had to produce some form of commemorative limited edition Fanatic for the event!

I've got a 2 litre bottle of White Lightning and a tatty copy of Peter Cave's Speed Freaks with a 2 inch tear to the base of the spine - will I get in? Er... Kev said it'd be alright...

[dem bones]

that'll get you in steve, no problem! actually, i thought it might be nice if our thing clashed with the World Horror Convention, a sort of 'flash mob - the book swap' alternative for the doomed!

[franklinmarsh]

So it's March then?

[dem bones]

Vault mischief! Everyone who is anyone will be at the Convention. We'll be in sunny Spitalfields! Saturday 27th or Sunday 28th. Take your pick. We have to do this, FM. It's the first time i've laughed since Swinegate!

[franklinmarsh]

Let's go! If any of our conventioneers are training it to Brighton, and changing at London on the way back, we could do worse than start at Spitalfields, then tour the major railway stations, although they've really smartened up the bars these days.

Ah, sod the "conventioneers". How about something for those who don't wanna be part of the groovy 'scene'? Besides, can you imagine the sheer Hell of having to sit through hour upon tedious hour of holiday snaps in The Ten Bells? "This one's me. This one's me with my arm around Stephen King! Eh? Yeah, he does look a bit like he's going to be sick, doesn't he? Anyway .. oh look, it's me again! What am I like? And here's me shaking hands with my best friend James Herbert - I'm going to have it blown up to life-size and framed! Oh, and that's Ramsey Campbell but he moved so some of his head's missing. And here's me again ..."

Oh yeah. Happy Christmas everyone!
