I will say I did tell them what I was after first time too - so my fault for the dolphins, not Obverses!

I thought Johnny might have popped the new, revised covers for his book here, but he hasn't so far. So here they are:   |

It looks like a Tragara Press volume. Very classy.

I have mine ordered from Obverse - which I'll get signed the next time I meet up with Johnny.
Look forward to reading it.
Impressed at the low price for a hardback. Makes a change these days!

Impressed at the low price for a hardback. Makes a change these days! Can we quote you on that, David? Stuart |

I've read two stories so far. The first, naturally, and then, on Johnny's insistence, the very last. I can see why. Reconvened: The Judge's House is a brilliant modernisation of the Stoker classic, concerning a writer, ironically, who specialises in modernising old classics by such as M. R. James and Ambrose Bierce. The repercussions of this practice come home to her in a way she never expected, which distortedly mirrors the last tale: Final Draft, in which Johnny himself makes an appearance under the name of Toby Cuthbertson - and a Pan author Septimus Dale, who does more than just write about torture and violence... This is a true Pan Horror in more ways than one, making one wonder about the sanity of some of that series' contributors. Or its keenest fan!  I like Johnny's plain, straightforward writing style, which gets on with storytelling first and foremost. It's hard to believe this is his first collection. |

In addition,this volume is very nicely produced. Reminds me of those fine old desk diaries I used to use. A good product for very little money. |
