Thanks for the tip, I contacted her. Wonder what the hang-up is with Universal and if whatever Gordian knot is holding things up can be cut through somehow? The Wolfman in particular sounds great; it's always been one of my favorite horror films.

David Ely's Seconds sounds fantastic, by the way, but HarperCollins is releasing it in e-book in January for $2.99, so I'm guessing we can't get the rights. Sad, too, since I can't imagine he'll end up with any royalties at that price...we could have offered him more than that!

As to Basil Copper - three novels you can do:
NECROPLOIS
THE GREAT WHITE SPACE
THE BLACK DEATH
THE BLACK DEATH has never been published in the UK before...

Johnny, those sound great. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to track down either an address or an agent for Basil Copper.

Did somebody at Ramble House get the rights to republish it? I'm in contact with his grandson and with Random House, which I'm told might have bought the rights from the original publisher. Neither of them mentioned anybody else contracting to bring out Ryan's books....

The British Library is putting out a lot of Penny Dreadfuls in cheap editions, but there's probably a few that still need doing. This is James Malcolm Rymer's first book - the guy who wrote Varney the Vamp and Sweeney Todd - shockingly bound by a collector in the dim distant past from the weekly penny parts. Nice wood cut though, and because of its disgraceful flaws a favourite book.  |

Dem may well move this post as it's about a fanzine, but in the new issue of the eclectic Aussie zine Biblio-Curiosa ('unusual writers/strange books') there is a great article on Tod Robbins. Sounds great, is there a web site? |

I hadn't seen the British Library ones, but I'll see if I can find them online. We're doing Ada the Betrayed and The Black Monk, or, The Secret of the Grey Turret by James Malcolm Rymer, and the anonymous Wild Boys of London, or, Children of the Night, and we recently did Reynolds's The Mysteries of London. Those penny dreadfuls are a ton of fun. Very long, though.... |

Ramsey: In researching Thomas Hinde on Google, I came across an interview you did some years ago where you mentioned his "Day the Call Came" favorably -- some of his other stuff sounds good too. Do you think they'd be good candidates for new editions? Thanks!

Do you think they'd be good candidates for new editions? Thanks! I do indeed, V! It's a creepily funny narrative told by a (presumably) paranoid schizophrenic. The Investigator works along similar lines, but is only one of the pair of his short novels that make up Games of Chance. |
