My copy of Seven Ghosts and One Other arrived this week too. I haven't delved into it yet, but it looks quite intriguing. I've never read any of C.E. Ward's work, so I don't really know what to expect.

My main criticism about the layout of the book is that I find the font a little bit too small. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm worried that it is going to strain my eyes when I get around to reading this book.

C.E. Ward is a difficult figure to discover anything about. I've searched the web and can't find an internet presence for this writer.

I'm waiting for mine and look forward to it.

I'm waiting on a number of books so I've gotten used to waiting . . . not!

I received my copy of DARK SHADOWS FALL by Mark Nicholls today, and it looks like a wonderful book with some very eerie artwork.

Lovely! I didn't even know that this had shipped out yet. Hopefully my copy will arrive soon.

It seems Dark Shadows Fall is actually sold out at the publisher now, but will be available shortly from some third party retailers (there's a list on their latest blog post).

I had never even heard of this book until recently here at TLO. I read a brief description of the type of stories it contains and it sounds like it would appeal to me. Does anyone have links to the cover art, interior art (if any) and some reviews? Thanks

I thought the following TOC might be of interest to those many fans of Reggie Oliver and Mark Valentine on this board. The anthology is provisionally pencilled-in for this Autumn from Sarob and includes the winner (Christopher Harman) and the runners-up from the latest short story competition run by the Ghosts and Scholars M.R.James newsletter (the remit was to write a prequel or sequel to any James tale).

I myself am looking forward very much to reading the Louis Marvick and Peter Bell contributions and the scurrilous work of J.L. Probert is always entertaining. There is also a story from a certain Mr John lurking in there amongst the luminaries – but don’t let that put you off!

Oh wow, what a great line up! I hope that this anthology gets released according to schedule.
