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?

“All philosophers are tyrannized by logic: and logic, by its nature, is optimism.” Nietszche.

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.”

Who the hell invented block-editor? He’s a blockhead. It’s taken me an hour just to post this when previously it would have taken five minutes. I’ve lost the will to live, let alone advertise my wares. The new method is unresponsive, operates at a snail’s pace and the layout is rubbish, impossible to correct easily and devilishly awkward. “Thanks” WordPress. I’m going back to classic editor as soon as I can figure out how to do so.
Meanwhile, buy the book etc.

Here’s another chance to read my story “A Gentleman From Mexico” in print. Genuine, heartfelt, non-ironic and special thanks to Ramsey Campbell, who seems always to lurk behind the kindly notion that I should not be allowed to fade away into complete weird fiction obscurity. It’s good to have the #1 guarding your back.
