All over the place. I’ve had a look at the Robert Howard books and I don’t see at least four of them. Sword Woman; there was an American import of the Spicy stories that appeared in the thirties which I can’t remember the title of; I came across the Second Book of Robert E Howard but noticed there was no sign of the Book of Robert E Howard; and similar applies for the Dark Man, I...

I got back into Ebay recently. I bought some things years ago but lost both user name and password so I couldn’t get back into that account. I created a new account and only purchased a hardback edition of Vertigo by Bob Shaw – which turned out to be ex library. Recently I’ve used Ebay a little more, getting a comic – which when I got it and flicked through realised I’d...

Trying to buy stuff from Amazon but it's not playing nice. It keeps asking me to put in my credit card information. I've checked the details in my account and the information is there already. Previous to this week buying from Amazon was as easy as a few clicks. I've also checked the address bar during the process of doing the order and I'm not getting redirected to a phishing site; it just informs...

One of the main ways I was turned on to philosophy was via science-fiction, and I continue to be a big science-fiction enthusiast. I am most interested in the classic (c. 1935-1960) short stories, especially those of Theodore Sturgeon. I have been reading through the new Wiley-Blackwell Science Fiction and Philosophy volume, ed. Susan Schneider. This is a good collection of philosophical writing -...

I was just over to the website of Subterranean Press and noticed that The Evil in Pemberley House is now shipping and for sale . I actually bought the signed version of this way back in February and it’s great to see it finally released. Let’s hope there aren’t any problems shipping my copy over the Atlantic. I bought a Theodore Sturgeon book that took ages to come across the Atlantic,...

Don Westlake used to say that he didn't like to outline, that he preferred letting the story take him where it chose to go. I suppose this was another way of saying what Theodore Sturgeon said a long time ago, that if the writer is surprised the reader will be surprised. Well, Westlake was probably not only surprised by the various twists and turns The Dame takes, he must have been downright shocked...
