NOTE TO REGULAR MONTHLY READERS: Additions or changes in blue. I have done a re-shuffle this time around so you might just want to give it all a quick scan.

NOTE: Always check Brian’s Area Messages/Breaking News as there may be something there that is not in the monthly update.

Volume 1

WHAT’S IN THE WORKS: (Please keep in mind that items are always subject to change.) Once I have an actual publication date an item will move up to the Publications section.

  • Brian’s Plan: He’s writing two novellas and possibly one or two short stories … of them Necroscope stories. The two novellas he’s working on now are tentatively titled For the Dead Travel Slowly and Harry and the Pirates. He is more than 100 pages into “For the Dead.” Whether these will appear individually or in a collection hasn’t yet been decided. Info … as always, when available.




  • Marvin Kaye is editing a book called The Ghost Quartet which will include the new novella The Place of Waiting. TOR Books is the publisher and as soon as I have a publication date you’ll find it here. We have now found out what is really the problem here but suffice to say that it will eventually happen.


  • Paul Calvin Wilson, of Lighthouse Media One, is putting together a Lumley anthology trilogy called From the Vaults. [/b]. Volume Two contains a Foreword, Introductions to each story, The Deep-Sea Conch, Ambler’s Inspiration, The Last Rite, Cryptically Yours and The Writer in the Garret. All the artwork will be done by Allen Koszowski. http://www.lighthousemediaone.co.uk/


  • Paul Calvin Wilson, of Lighthouse Media One, is putting together a Lumley anthology trilogy called From the Vaults. Volume Three contains a Foreword, Introductions to each story, Darghud’s Doll, David’s Worm, Vanessa’s Voice The Running Man and In the Vaults Beneath. All the artwork will be done by Allen Koszowski. http://www.lighthousemediaone.co.uk/


  • Necroscope the movie. http://www.necroscopethemovie.com The third option has been made. Work continues to go on. Peter Atkins, who Brian knows, has written the only script Brian has liked so far and at least that is looking good at the moment. They took the option on the proviso that they would be able to have access to Wamphyri and The Source as well. So until anything substantial happens … this item is relegated to last on the list, but certainly not least.


APPEARANCES (NOTE: Brian attends all his scheduled appearances provided the planes are flying and there aren’t any emergencies which would cause cancellation.)

  • World Horror Convention 2007. Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Thursday March 29-Sunday April 1.
    http://www.whc2007.org/ Things are shaping up nicely. Brian will be doing the Friday night mass autograph session and he’ll be doing a one hour reading consisting of two stories. There might be a signing session at what boasts on being “the Biggest Bookstore in the World,” but that’s still in the planning stages. Info if/when this is going to happen. But you can always keep track of what’s going on by going to the website.



NOTE: There are no other scheduled convention appearances for the foreseeable future. If anything comes out of the blue we’ll let you know.
