Bollocks!Illness saw to it that the calendar fizzled out before intended new years eve cut off point. Will drift up the bonus Weird Tales material in due course - it's nothing fans won't have seen before - but am most concerned that Alex Miles should miss out. Johnny Mains sent me on a pdf of his six story début collection, Glory & Splendour: Tales Of The Weird (Karōshi Books , 2012), with a permission to run the title novella, so belatedly and with apologies for delay, here it is!

Excellent story.

It is indeed, and not the only one in Mr. Miles' collection. Will attempt some kind of thread when back on feet.

Also, Calenture sent on an illustration inspired by Franklin's Stille Nacht

Professor Daimler, mad scientist, does the Frankenstein thing in shudder and weird pulp legend Hugh B. Cave's sci-horror shocker The Corpse On The Grating, Astounding Stories (Feb. 1930).]

On the subject of Hugh B. Cave, Ramble House & Dancing Tuatara recently published the first in what looks to be a series of volumes collecting his weird menace/shudder pulp tales.

The party's over, the hangover's cleared; better late than never, this year's line up in its entire glory and splendour.
