The Places Between: reviews which slipped through…

Simon did tell me, but my memory has more leaks in it than a colander with very large holes. Anyway, this is his review of Terry Grimwood's fabulous debut novella which is also long-listed for the British Fantasy Novella Award.
In addition, a review by Nathaniel Tapley of In the Gloaming who rather liked We Fade to Grey:
"The collection as a whole feels, in the best possible way, grim. No one gets out of it alive. Or at least, if they do, they’re bleeding heavily. . . This is British horror, and a great book, from an exciting small press."
And, another review of We Fade to Grey from Matthew Fryer:
"[S]ets the bar high from the off and doesn’t pause for breath. . . All five authors weave genuine human pathos with blood and don’t then go and spoil everything with a happy ending. Brilliant. Grab one while you can."
(. . . and it is also available has a limited edition, signed by all contributors.)

… which I cannot tell you about, just yet, but it's made a rather glorious day!
EDIT: the British Fantasy Awards 2011 long-list has been announced… with three nominations in the Best Novella category, plus two artists in the Artist list and a personal one for Best Small Press, which I'm always pleased to see but pretty much know that someone else will win it – just hoping either Paul, Terry or David pick up the Novella gong.
If any BFS members are reading this, then contact me for a free PDF reading copy of any of the nominated titles.

Best Novel
Silversands by Gareth L Powell
Sparrowhawk by Paul Finch
The Places Between by Terry Grimwood
Best Novella
Rattus by Simon Maginn
The Invisible Architect of Psychopathy by Gary Fry
The Red House by David J Thacker
Best Artist
Vincent Chong for Silversands

With regard to the three novels, they could technically be considered novellas since they are long novellas.

Post-FCon 2010
Posted by Chris on October 1, 2010 at 20:24

The annual shin-dig in Nottingham for all fans of the fantastic has been and gone; a pilgrimage of drunken nonsense, curry and books. There are more than enough reportages on the interweb from those who attended, most if not all I've come across all say the same thing: great weekend, too much to drink, not enough sleep… here's to next year.
Doesn't take a genius to know that the current financial status quo has taken hold, but thankfully I did manage to sell a few books – a heartfelt thanks to you, one and all! :)
In other news, apologies to all who have pre-ordered Angels of the Silences and The Legend of False Dreaming – alas, the printer I was going to use has fallen so I'm looking elsewhere and with luck copies should be available very soon. In actual fact, one idea I am contemplating is taking this process in-house so to speak…
Between last posting, a couple of reviews have surfaced – most notably, Des Lewis' "real-time review" of Terry Grimwood's The Places Between – unfortunately, I cannot easily take quotes from it so you'll need to read it in full!
In addition, M F W Curran has posted a review of Gareth L Powell's Silversands:
"… [A] thoroughly accomplished piece of writing… sits proudly on my bookshelf with other acclaimed genre authors (Dick, Bradbury, Baxter, Banks etc)… And you know, Gareth L. Powell doesn’t look out of place amongst them."
That's it for now… back to the process of publishing, with Kingston to Cable lined-up for publication very soon.

Just landed… Terry Grimwood's novella, and a week earlier than expected. :)
Right, form an orderly queue…
In another moment of fluctuating madness, henceforth all and any orders over £7 (which includes this novella) will also net you a free copy of any of the three chapbooks published thus far, which are: The Red House, Angels of the Silences and The Legend of False Dreaming. Just mention the title of the free chapbook and I shall proceed to post both together.
Remember: postage is still free anywhere!

FCon Publication Update
Posted by Chris on August 4, 2010 at 7:42
Posted in: Book News, Conventions
With a scant month to go, the original big launch at the FantasyCon weekend was to be Gary Greenwood's Kingston to Cable – after some deliberation due in no small part to financial constrants, this will be now pushed forward into October which frees up space and resources to reduce the Triquorum publication pile. Not sure if anyone remembers, but I've decided to turn each individual acceptance into a single chapbook publication, and come September you will be able to check out Simon Bestwick's Angel of the Silences along with The Legend of False Dreaming by Toiya Kristen Finlay.
Apart from those two, I've also brought forward Terry Grimwood's debut novella The Places Between which I've been meaning to publish for ages – not just for the story, but also the superb cover art by Ben Baldwin (click on the thumbnail for the full-size):
Pre-ordering details will be added swiftly.
In addition, the winner of the July free book giveaway is Tara Noble also from across the Pond – she wins a copy of Feral Companions; at the end of this month, one lucky winner will receive a copy of New Writings in the Fantastic.
On a closing note, and something which I briefly touched upon earlier, it must be said this year so far has been tough; always thankful to all the loyal customers who have continued to purchase books. Despite these tough times, I am looking to the future and with a little luck October will see one or two changes – moreso in an effort to offer more for your hard-earned.
If you're reading this, and you have any comments or insights into what you would like to read, then please do get in touch: always welcome feedback, since it does feel at times to be working within a vacuum, with little interaction apart from the occasional Convention.
Anyway, enough of my warbling; keep checking the site, and if you are at FCon then tap me on the shoulder and if I'm close to the bar then I'll buy you a drink (of course, if a hundred of you turn up then I may have to ration it slightly…)
(By the way, been meaning to add this… Pendragon Press does have a group page on Facebook, if you're interested of course!)
