I think Steve Jones has been highly courageous to choose this homage story of mine, “Posterity”, for inclusion in BNH#30. It’s bound to rub the usual suspects up the wrong way…
Then again, what else are mavericks for?
Anyway, buy the book. It’s well worth it. And especially if you appreciate Robert Aickman tributes!

If only more folk were as obsessed as the astute Mr. Isis is with my much-neglected, earlier literary “work”!

PW Review of The Age of Decayed Futurity
I am not sure exactly what the star means, but assume it indicates some measure of distinction. Anyway, it’s certainly a generous appraisal from whoever wrote it.

Featuring a brand-new cosmic tale from my pen “If Destiny Still Reigns” and also a never-before-seen English language translation by me of Stefan Grabinski’s revealing autobiograhical essay “Confessions”. What more could you possibly want?

Those who have ordered the Zagava stand-alone volume of this story may find that the last page has been incorrectly rendered by the printers. As issued the last few lines on the final page read:
“though the actual noise she heard sounded more”
and then nothing: just a complete blank. It should instead read:
“though the actual noise she heard sounded more like barking; and
accompanied by approaching echoes.”
