Sorting through a drawer and found my old copy of Oktobyr, Simon Bestwick's Halloween antho from 1997. Simon Clark, Paul Finch, John B Ford, Tim Lebbon, Des Lewis etc. Haven't actually got round to rereading any of the stories yet, I'm just staring in amazement at the author photos. Everyone looks so young. 1997 wasn't really twelve years ago was it? | ||

Remember that Oktobyr, well. Full of nits.  I no longer have my copy. Well, that is true of 99% of my contributor small press mags of the eighties and nineties. I divested myself of them a few months ago. | ||

Ooops, sorry. Nobody is going to understand that joke about 'Nits'! I thought my collaboration with Paul Bradshaw (called 'Nits') was in Oktobyr. After checking my DFL bibliography, I found to my shock that it was 'The Fat Bat', a collaboration with Scott Urban, not 'Nits' at all. I'll get my flea-ridden coat... | ||

 I thought you were commenting on the character of your fellow authors, Des! That sounds like a rather nice anthology - wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those. | ||

Once this page has loaded: http://vaultofevil.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=indie&action=print&thread=672 Do a 'find' for OKTOBYR and see its cover. | ||

Des, 'The Fat Bat' was in Oktobyr '98, the second volume (as was 'Queer Tumours', your collaboration with Stuart Hughes!) The DFL tale in the first Oktobyr was 'Billy Belly'. One day, I hope to have written so many stories I get mixed up as to where they all first appeared... Sadly, 'Oktobyr The Thyrd' never came out... but that's another (nightmarish) story... | ||

Thanks, Simon. A double ooops on my part. | ||

Des, I'm just very flattered that people still remember it! |
