MAY 2010 UPDATE...

[Silky]

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.)

• April 2010. Necroscope: The Plague-Bearer. Subterranean Press. In addition to the jacket cover there are also some interior art jpegs shown on the site. Pre-Order: http://www.subterraneanpress.com/Mer...oduct_Count=80

• 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.

• Spring 2011. The Fly-By-Nights, a short novel. A vampire story but not Necroscope related. Subterranean Press has sent a contract on this and Bob Eggleton will be doing the cover. More info when available.

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 taking it easy at the moment as the summer months roll in. He does have some ideas swirling around in the swamp of his mind … eventually he will probably put pen to paper but for right now he’s creating his Snailians (shell creatures) and there’s lots of things around the house and garden to do that will occupy him for the time being.

• Ghoul Warning. Peter Crowther of PS Publishing is doing a the poetry book again with Carson’s original artwork. He’ll probably have Dave do more but I’m not sure of that as yet. More info when available. http://store.pspublishing.co.uk/

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, Dave and Amber McDougle and Andy Rixon we know will be there. If anyone else is definitely coming join in the post on the MessageBoard. 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. I’m told that programming will be developing in July so as soon as I know anything I’ll let you all know.
