forgive me if this topic is posted elsewhere. i am relatively ignorant and gun shy of online forums. i just wondered if anyone has heard of any upcoming work by mark samuels? his work is, like simon strantzas, quentin s. crisp, etc., deeply moving to me. this post is the equivalent of an addict's trembling hand reaching for a fix...

From Jerad Walters' recent Centipede Press email update:

Re: mark samuels

Re: the Lovecraft anthology. It's not a new story from me, it's an old story called "A Gentleman from Mexico". That description from A Mountain Walked is a bit misleading, but I've not seen it before now.

What new fiction I've written (well, the next three tales anyway) will be appearing in the Sacrum Regnum journal and in Dan Ghetu's Bruno Schulz tribute.

Re: mark samuels
 

Ah, well. Considering that "A Gentlemen from Mexico" is a delightful metatextual satire in the style of TED Klien's "Black Man with A Horn", it'll be nice to have them together in one volume.

Is there a tentative publication date yet for the first issue of Sacrum Regnum?

Re: mark samuels
 

I don't know. Dan Corrick is the Sacrum Regnum prime mover. I sort of follow along in his wake.

The Mad Monarchist: Warning


I think this pretty much sums up my view of late. Perhaps this might glide past the moderating force when it comes to the approval of new threads, a development I wasn't previously aware of here ..

Nothing in the way of criticism implied. It's just a check I wasn't aware of having encountered before.

Mark,

For clarification, your previous post was automatically cued for moderation as it was posted to the Website News sub-forum, which should likely be changed to TLO news, as it is tied to the home page index to announce special events or issues. The same rule applies to Ligotti News, but not Other News. This often creates confusion, but it is in place to prevent inappropriate content from appearing on the home page as news announcements.

Ooh, Baron von Ungern-Sternberg!

I wrote a 'comedy' piece about him many years ago. Here it is:
The Bloody Baron

In the wake of this, I had many emails from people claiming to be members of various sects devoted to re-establishing monarchy around the world, to uniting Europe and Asia into a single country ruled by a king, to winning indepence for the 'lost' country of Tannu Tuva and turning it into a militaristic Buddhist theocracy, etc, etc.

Wacky people! But interesting, certainly...

Thank you.
