And now ’tis mine.
Thank you! Work on the next book (“A Ghastly Companion to Castles, Mansions, and Estates”) is well under way.
I loved it, of course. (The 20 statements by questionable occultists was fun to revisit – I think 20 is stil my favourite, just for the sheer brazenness of it).
There a few things I thought might have been good to carry over from the blog: the Mooncalf, the clockwork impostor, and some of the characters like Carmilla, Mary Shelley, or Heathcliffe. Or are they fated for a future supplement?
The “20 Statements” are among my personal favorite things in the book. As for the Clockwork Imposter, Heathcliff, and the rest, they’re all going into “A Ghastly Companion to Gothic Icons”, which I’d like to have out by October.
Ah, splendid. Well, you’re set for one sale.
