That's him. He's been hiding in Hove. Chris Teague found him. | ||

Maginn's been working under a psuedonym in another genre. | ||

GCW you missed a book. Hunt down "Methods of Confinement". It reminded me of The Doll Who Ate Its Mother (that's the one with Declann, right?) | ||

Sorry, guv. I've been madbusy at work. Will report back to HQ soonest. | ||

Yeah. Just before Maginn vanished. It wasn't with Corgi that time but St Martin's Press. It's about a couple who take in a slightly-nutty nutter and the problems ensue from there. Not supernatural if I recall, but still a thrill. His piece in Feral Companions is very good as well. Highly recommended. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 82.3.226.105 |
Yeah, the last scene of his Feral novella has really stuck with me. Great tail . . . er, tale. | ||

Congratulations, Gary. I've never read Simon Maginn but I've heard nothing but great things about his work. And that cover? Astonishing. I'm drooling as I type this. Is that flattering or simply too much information? | ||

Super Gary. So, is this one novella from you and one from Simon Maginn (who, I must admit, I'd never heard of before), both on the theme of rats? | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 82.3.226.105 |
A novella each, yes, but mine is about vermin of quite a different kind. | ||

I love the cover BTW, It looks really traditional 1982 horror (star) paperback what with the font et al.. A lot of horror books can look a little samey at times, so it's nice to see. gcw | ||

GCW, my first novel comes out year, too: The House of Canted Steps, just polished and delivered to PS Publshing. Hope you like em . . . | ||

>>>It looks really traditional 1982 horror (star) paperback what with the font et al.. That's exactly the vibe Chris Teague was after when he commissioned the artwork. Well spotted. A pickled egg to you. | ||

Great cover. Love the 'distressed' font in particular. |
