On a much happier note, we are pleased to report that the signed limited edition of THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE has not yet sold out! However, we have confirmed with the publisher there are only about 20 copies left. So don't delay, they will be gone before you know it.

On a similar subject, all of the books listed in Philip José Farmer's estate sale, are now available to a much wider audience at The Advanced Book Exchange. Orders are starting to come in from there, so chances are good the book (or books) you've had your eye on could get snapped up by someone else. Just saying.

We haven't added very much to the website this past month, but as promised, back in...um...July, we have finally found the time to get the timeline up to date. On the other hand, Zacharias, webmaster of the International Bibliography, has been very busy lately, updating his site a couple of times a week. Go check it out if you haven't been there in a while.

Win Scott Eckert has also been very busy doing a series on his blog called "Mythographers on the Move," which details the recent writings of fellow Wold Newton scholars and contributors to MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE. These include: CHRONOLOGY OF SHADOWS: A Timeline of The Shadow's Exploits, RICK LAI'S SECRET HISTORIES: Daring Adventurers and RICK LAI'S SECRET HISTORIES: Criminal Masterminds all by Rick Lai, DAYS GONE BY: Legends and Tales of Sipokni West by John Allen Small, SERIAL VIGILANTES OF PAPERBACK FICTION: An Encyclopedia from Able Team to Z-Comm by Brad Mengel, THE ELDRITCH NEW ADVENTURES OF BECKY SHARP by Micah S. Harris, several "Loki Comrades" and "Sun Koh" stories by Art Sippo, Glimmerglass, edited by John Allen Small and containing stories by Dennis E. Power and Art Sippo. We'll skim over the TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN series and just say that if you look closely at the table of contents of Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, and the forthcoming Volume 6, you will see more and more Wold Newton alumni listed among the contributors. In addition to all that old news, did you happen to notice the announcement that Blackcoat Press will be publishing Win's CROSSOVERS: A Secret Chronology of the World, Volume 1 That's right, this detailed collection of "crossovers" is so massive it had to be broken into two volumes. We can't wait to get our hands on these.

A few observations about the previous paragraph. One, it would appear that Creative Mythographers have a penchant for rather long book titles. Two, of the above books we have read, TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN: Volume 5 is probably our favorite, which bodes well for Volume 6 as these books are getting stronger and stronger. Third, of the books we haven't read, DAYS GONE BY: Legends and Tales of Sipokni West by John Allen Small sounds like the most fun. Creating a history and legends around a town that never existed, is in fact nothing but a sometime movie set and Western-themed tourist attraction, sounds like a hoot.

We haven't heard any news about the Riverword mini-series in the last month, but the trailer RHI Entertainment put online in September has been viewed another 5,600 times since the last update. These can't all be Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse fans watching it just to see Tahmoh Penikett. After watching it several times now we're very curious to see how the mini-series ends. Does it come to a conclusion and answer questions about the Riverworld, making it less likely that it will continue as a full series, or does it end like the first pilot, with our heroes just beginning to set off to discover the mysteries of this new world? From the trailer it's too hard to tell but it does look like more is happening in this version than the first one.
