Paperback copies should be with me at Pendragon Towers in the next week with hardcovers soon after.

Remember: hardcover pre-order price is good until actual arrival – so, if you order now then you can save yourself £5. Alternatively, the VFF paperback can be yours has part of the three for £10 offer if you so wish.

The first person to order a copy of this novella will receive it.

By the way, did I mention that his book beat Joe Hill to win the British Fantasy Award for best novella? No? Well, it did. :)

I certain don't. But, if you don't want to miss out on some great books then do you want to hang around especially when stocks of the older titles are actually running quite low now.

This is a major shame since it looked to be a very promising Convention, and I was going to attend to launch Visions Fading Fast the very much long-awaited anthology edited by Gary McMahon.

Nevertheless, the anthology will definitely be published next month – albeit a virtual launch (though how that works is anyone's guess!)

In keeping with this, if you're a book blogger or reviewer and would be interested in receiving a PDF proof of this major anthology then please get in touch!

The "maybe" pile of Nasty Snips II is coming down… and on target for a final ToC to be announced later this month, along with a major announcement on the future direction of Pendragon Press.

So, what are you waiting for? Get yourself a double-dose of nastiness!

Anyway, last night the supremely talented Neil Williams sent me a number of designs of which this is the one that will be gracing your Kindle screens later this year:

As you can see, a simple yet extremely eye-catching (ahem) design; there will also be a trailer forthcoming courtesy of that man, Mark West.

Stay tuned…
