StarShipSofa Stories

I'm very pleased to have a tale in the new (third) volume of StarShipSofa Stories, the anthology associated with the podcast of the same name.


It's 'The Occurrence at Slocombe Priory', the M.R. James pastiche I've read out at a few conventions. Glad it's finally found a home. I share the book with such luminaries as Joe Haldeman, Cat Valente, Kevin J. Anderson, Tad Williams and David Brin. It's available in a range of editions, from the ebook at £2.99 to the single, one of a kind proof edition at £15o! (There are paperbacks and things in the middle.) Do take a look here.

And meanwhile, Tom Crielly, the artist who illustrated my story, shows off said artwork here on the collective blog he shares with my friend Gary Erskine and other Scottish comic artists. He has a contest also.

I hope to see some of you at the Fortean Times Unconvention tomorrow, which I'm going along to as a punter (and to the pub quiz afterwards). It was Caroline's birthday today, and she's spent all her free moments playing Skyrim. The Unconvention means I won't get my hands on it until Monday, so bah. Cheerio!

    I remember that M.R. James pastiche from your Christmas blog a few years back. Glad to see it in print as I thought it was quite humorous and probably mirrored what other's thought when "the gang" happened to show up in a new town.

    I'm sure Conan Doyle himself might have gotten a fright from seeing a gigantic hound aka Scooby devouring a 2 foot long sub!
