Sorry James, but have been asked by our hosts to remove the Witchcraft stuff. No problems, Kev - it is a tad offensive. Not really.
I should have put them in my cover collections when I had the chance.  |

Erebus rising certainly looks intriguing. I looked out entries for Brian Maycock on the interwebs and what I found was sparse. He has an ISFDB entry which gives his birthdate as 1928 which, if correct, would strongly suggest that he IS a vampire. The listings were short stories and poetry. His most recent material is something called a "drabble" which is typically 50 words long, it seems. Entertainment for the dyed in the wool ADHD generation.
Excellent Carlyle quote on the back cover. It certainly does seem to signal that she was about to toss the typewriter out the window.
I can't help regretting that Michael Moorcock and Brian Maycock never started a vaudeville act, perhaps involving experimental hair, very loud electric guitars and pouting Goth women backing singers, as Maycock and Moorcock. Because you can never have too much cock.
I'll just see myself out, then.

That's all quite fab looking! I love the hilarious description of vampire themed products available at Boots. I had no idea that the vamp craze had gotten quite that big.
"Vampiroidism" makes one think of "hemorrhodism." The Dungeon Mistress would not be best pleased with me for making that saucy crack.
Thanks Dem for these scans and notes!

As a near-lifelong vegetarian, I'm strangely touched by the perhaps ironic note that the Dracula society offered a veg* alternative at their banquet way back in 1990. That was early days for such kind thoughtfulness. Yes, I am well aware of how obnoxious pushy, proselytizing vegetarians and vegans can be--I'm just saying I appreciate the thought.
Ingrid Pitt was so sweet and generous when I met her briefly at a convention in 1975 (when I was a senior in high school). I loved her performance opposite one of my eternal faves Jon Pertwee in The House that Dripped Blood. I found Vampire Lovers disappointingly dull on the one occasion when I saw it; should give it another go, one of these days.
Cool selection as always, Dem!

So cool! I love that Redemption lady's stuff. She had a real genius for camp. Hilarious!
According to the interwebs, James Ferman's tenure at the BBFC ended in 1999.
cheers, Hel

Found at Sunday market. Not sure Picture Postcard Annual belongs here. It looks a bit classy for a 'fanzine,' and quite possibly isn't one. Then again, the various Paperback Fanatic & Haunted Library productions, to name but several, are hardly 'Sniffin' Glue' primitive. Brian & Mary Lund [eds] - Picture Postcard Annual #36 (Reflections of a Bygone Age, 2016). Classic early British postcards, postcards from the Somme, top ten miniature golf, tennis, Alpine views, etc. Donald McGill pre-1910, artist-drawn London, "1916 - the watershed year of World War One," Wish you were here: Quinton, Brian Lund on the allure of modern and contemporary postcards. Articles interspersed with page upon page of directories, details of forthcoming fairs and auctions from Stockport to Kyev — via Zurich, Barcelona, San Francisco, Utrecht, Oslo, Bloomsbury, Sydney, Toronto .... & co., charity card fundraisers, illustrated listing of books on picture postcards. A thriving international scene. Brian & Mary Lund [eds] - Picture Postcard Annual #37 (Reflections of a Bygone Age, 2017). "1917 - the war-weary year;" Zeppelin raids were no laughing matter; the allied war in North Italy; "Walking back to happiness" - postcards from the swinging sixties; the 1966 world cup; the best postcard art: animals, art deco & art nouveau, advertising, children, Victorian & Edwardian glamour, literary, military, landscapes, postal, etc. The Postcard scene. Plus all the listings, auction and fair dates for your diary. A visual treat - how could it not be?
