The Nine Deaths competition: the winners
Some time ago we announced a competition to celebrate the launch of John Llewellyn Probert’s Spectral Visions novella The Nine Deaths of Dr. Valentine. We have now picked a winner, much later than originally planned due to pressure of work and events but, before we announce who that winner is, here’s a reminder of what was up for grabs:
THE PRIZES: Top prize is a personally signed copy of the hardback, along with a poster of the front cover image (also signed), a paperback copy of Gary Fry’s The Respectable Face of Tyranny (signed), a set of posters of the covers of all the chapbooks published to date, and a Spectral badge.
Second and third prizes for the next two correct entries will be signed paperback copies of The Nine Deaths of Dr. Valentine, accompanied by a poster of the cover image (unsigned) and a Spectral badge.
All entrants had to do was answer the following question, set by the fiendish Mr. Probert himself:
In the film THEATRE OF BLOOD, how many plays made up Edward Lionheart’s final season of Shakespeare?
The answer was: TEN - Julius Caesar, Troilus & Cressida, Cymbeline, Merchant of Venice, Romeo & Juliet, Richard III, Othello, Henry VI Part 1, Titus Andronicus and King Lear.
And the winner is: ALISON LITTLEWOOD!
Runners up: JOHN HOWARD and LUCY JIANG
Congratulations to all – we will be emailing you within the next couple of days!
Congrats to all! Such good prizes!
Ah, that’ll be why I’m not in the list of honour – one has to get the question right before one can be in the running. By the way, McAfee security has just advised me not to visit your site, warning of ‘risky behaviour’. Can you elaborate?? ; )
Yes, that’s because Macafee’s crap – I’ve had problems with it before (which is why I no longer use it), as it’s often advised me against visiting perfectly safe sites….
Congrats to all winners! I sincerely hope you have a wonderfully scary time with your prizes!
