Is it a pseudonym? | ||

I reckon - it has to be, doesn't it? | ||

I hope it's better to read than look at, that is a shit cover by any standards. (ps..Hi Zed, could you acknowledge my existance here?...As I have met you in the flesh so to speak...I fear I don't exist as nobody acknowledges a damn thing I say on here anymore) gcw (who...?) | ||

I'm upset Zed didn't get my joke. | ||

Des - ahhhhh, that'll teach me to read posts properly! GCW - them were the days, lad. | ||

Who's GCW? Never heard of him! (for you GCW ..  .. but don't tell Soozie!) Des - sorry, I still can't see your joke. Er .. it's probably just me ...  That cover really is terrible. Hope the book is better. I picked up a book on eBay a while back (Lulu published) by someone called Killian H Gore. Clearly the same kind of pseudonym - quite clever really!  | ||

Hello Gcw. Have we met? I agree, the cover wouldn't entice me to part with my pennies though that is an admission that I really do judge books by their covers. Psuedonym? nah. he's probabay relted to the Cheltenham Jackels, or more probabably from the Totteridge branch of the Smythe-Jackels. Lovely family, real quality and old money of course.

I read a couple of Jackal's stories ages ago in, I think, and old Star anthology and they were great. I have a book of his from Steve Duffy (who insisted I borrow it - he got quite aggressive about it, to be honest!) which I've not got round to reading yet but will do soon. S | ||

Sorry, Caroline. It was just asking Zed in as dead-pan a fashion as I could muster whether Lucifous Jackal was a pseudonym ... or not. | ||

My brain hurts!  Don't apologise, Des - I think it's just me! | ||

I do like the rear-view mirror effect of the boxed eyes up at the top. | ||

This is the one I had, I think it was the only novel he ever had published by a mainstream house. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/53797362@N00/5223516926/"><img></a> | ||

Well, that worked well didn't it? How about this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/53797362@N00/5223516926/ | ||

That works ok, Mark, but you have to copy and paste the entire link, rather than clicking on it. | ||

That rearview mirror effect worked for me too (even though I now realise it isn't meant to be one!) |
