Re: Samuels, "Written in Darkness" available
Joshi's upcoming anthology The Red Brain will also feature a new Mark Samuels novella. Joshi apparently considers it to be one of the best stories that appeared in his recent anthologies.

Re: Samuels, "Written in Darkness" available
I'm not surprised. Samuels doesn't strike me as the kind of writer who likes to promote his own work, so it's nice when Joshi gives credit where credit is undoubtedly due. It's not how many are praising X work or writer - it's "who" is praising it. | |||||||||||
"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."
~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil" |

Regarding Written in Darkness, I'm lucky to have the Egaeus version, but I'm glad that his work is being made as widely available as possible. | |||||||||||

Re: Samuels, "Written in Darkness" available
As far as the book's cover portrait goes, I'd say less Lemmy and more Leon Trotsky. Seriously, thanks for the absorbing interview, and it's good to see that Mark doesn't have horns after all.

Re: Samuels, "Written in Darkness" available
That appeared so soon after the upload that I doubt the commenter even watched the interview. In fact, the account from which the comment is made is so barren that I suspect it was opened merely in order to make the comment. Such are the motives by which some appear to live. | |||||||||||

Re: Samuels, "Written in Darkness" available
I wish you kept it running and interviewed the deliveryman. Great vid. Wasn't expecting to be name checked. Didn't really think Mark even remembered me.
