A miscellany of bits and pieces here today, but the most important one is receiving an email from Reece Shearsmith (League of Gentlemen, Inside No. 9) about the Deluxe Edition of The Christmas Ghost Stories of Lawrence Gordon Clark. He didn’t need to say much, but what he did say was enough:
“It really is beautiful – no wonder you are proud of it.”
EDIT 17:30pm: We only have THREE copies left of the Deluxe, so grab one while you still can!

MONTHLY SERIALS
Due to the success of Simon Bestwick’s monthly Black Mountain serial we have decided that, beginning in January 2015, we will be publishing a couple of serials a year. And to start things off we will be publishing James Everington’s The Quarantined City, in six parts.More details will be forthcoming soon, so keep watching this space.
FUTURE PROJECTS
Spectral will be heading into London on Monday to meet up with director/screenwriter Michael Armstrong (Mark of the Devil, The Haunted House of Horror, The House of Long Shadows) to start discussions on an exciting project. We’ll tell you more when we’ve worked out the details.
