Tales of the Shadowmen Vol. 10 is OUT NOW!

  

    Regular readers may have noticed that I've been very irregularly posting reviews of the yearly anthology Tales of the Shadowmen from Black Coat Press, so I'm very excited to announce that I'll be having an entry in the latest volume. My short story "The Great Ape Caper" will be appearing in Tales of the Shadowmen, Vol. 10: Esprit de Corps, and concerns an aging Arsene Lupin staging a daring heist one evening in 1933 New York, just as a certain giant ape has escaped and starts wreaking havoc about town. It's pretty short, but I'm mighty proud of it and very honored to be appearing alongside such luminaries as Brian Stableford, John Peel and Michael Moorcock(!).

    So do me a favor and buy the collection either here or the Amazon link below (and remember, buying directly from Black Coat Press means they won't have to take a cut in the earnings). And I promise I will finish reviewing the rest of the series...

    Eventually.
