NOTE TO REGULAR MONTHLY READERS: Additions or changes in blue.

NOTE: Always check Brian’s Area Messages/Breaking News as there may be something there that is not in the monthly update. There are cases where you will see for example: August/September update … but if I have additional information I will also do one for September alone … like this time around.

PUBLICATIONS: (Please keep in mind that all dates are tentative and subject to change.)




  • The Mammoth Book of the Best of Best New Horror, edited by Stephen Jones, US tradepaper edition, Robinson, Running Press, 2010. Contains: No Sharks in the Med. Available Now.



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 is not writing at the moment … he’s taking a break after just recently finishing a work called The Fly-By-Nights … which by the way is a vampire story but not a Necroscope.


  • Necroscope the movie. http://www.evolvingpicturesentertainment.com/ Anything substantial happens … you’ll find it here. Things are moving along on this … we’ll have to see how it goes. It has now been optioned for its fifth year.


APPEARANCES:

  • KillerCon Palace Station Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. August 26-29, 2010. Brian has a guest of honour slot. http://killercon.com/. We are really looking forward to this. Allen and Chris Koszowski we know will be there. Possible Dave and Amber McDougle (if she’s not in Alaska) and whoever else can join us there. Looks like being a great weekend. I’m going to schedule two readings for Brian and it’s possible he’ll do a question and answer session as well. This is just in preliminary stages at the moment so we don’t know the timings for it yet. Hey, Palace Station Hotel even has a shuttle that takes you down to the strip every night. We’ll make sure we don’t miss out on that.
