A special edition signed hardcover of The
Aylesford Skull is available from
Titan Books featuring a foreword by KW Jeter, an introduction by
Tim Powers.
There's a blog tour happening, with interviews, book notes, and
more, promoting The Aylesford
Skull. For the latest links to the various sites on the
tour, click
here.
Added some more links to places on-line where Blaylock books can be
found. Also, a rather bemusing cover--image for the French edition of
The Disappearing Dwarf.
The short story, "In for a Penny or The Man Who Believed in
Himself", is online at scifi.com (now defunct),
Another short story, "Small Houses", has been published on Scifi.com
(now defunct).
A new short story, His Own Back Yard, is online at Scifi.com
Will Ferret (whose website http://www.willferret.com has now been
taken over by a Japanese milk company, strangely...) illustrator of
several Blaylock books, kindly provided a great image
of some goblins from the Morrigan edition of Magic
Spectacles as well as the complete
set of the illustrations he created for Homunculus.
Thirteen Phantasms, a short story
collection from Edgewood Press, is available (see links here
to bookstores and to the publisher's Thirteen Phantasms website). A
cover images is posted online at our Thirteen
Phantasms page.
A new short story "The Other Side", has been published online at
scifi.com (now defunct).
Subterranean Press
has published a Blaylock chapbook called Home Before Dark
(which I believe is already sold out), as well as a William Ashbless
short story and poem published together as On Pirates (William
Ashbless is a nom de plume of Blaylock and Tim Powers - available
January 2001).
A new Blaylock short story, "The War of the Worlds", was posted at
scifi.com (now defunct).
There's part of an interview with Tim Powers at this
site that describes the origin of Ashbless, and mentions the
intriguing "William Ashbless Memorial Cookbook", which I hope someday
goes into print. (And in fact, it did.)
Cheese hat enthusiasts take note: in the aeroport scene in the movie
"Dogma", someone is selling hats shaped like wedges of cheese.
This isn't strictly Blaylock-related, but it might amuse some
Blaylock readers (especially those who like the Elfin Ship or
the Last Coin) to know that the US
Patent Office last year issued patent number 5,708,983 for an
invention described as an "Inflatable Cheese Wedge Hat". It's
comforting to know that the real world is sometimes like a Blaylock
novel.
The chat with Blaylock on Event Horizon has been archived here.
