A British publication called SFX often does special editions of its magazine, picking a specific subject to concentrate a full magazine to. This time around they've decided on an A to Z of Horror.

Included in the magazine is a bunch of freebies, including a DVD with two episodes of the TV show Masters Of Horror. One of the two is the Pelts adaptation by Dario Argento, starring Meat Loaf.

Should be available in all good UK newsagents and supermarkets. Rest of the world may find it in a Borders, Barnes and Noble, or equivalent, if they have a non-US publication rack (may take a couple of weeks to get there).

We saw Lawless over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Guy Pearce was incredible as Rakes. It's definitely entertaining to watch, especially if you like Prohibition era films.

I've told one of my friends that I want to start a smuggling ring. I get to carry a gun.

I don't have the time I used to to read. So I've been gobbling up all the books I could get on audio. I just listened to the last 2 Dark Tower books and a bunch of shorts of King's. I also listened to Neal Stephenson's "Reamde" (excellent) and a bunch of other novels. But I just checked to see if my library has any FPW on audio, specifically Repairman Jack. Nada. So I figured I could request my library to order it. I hopped on Amazon and looked up the only RJ book I haven't read, (that's currently sitting in a box since I moved) The Dark at the End, and guess what? Not available on audio. So my question to you, Dr. Wilson is, whaddupwitdat?

As a fan of Darwyn Cooke's Graphic Novel adaptations of the great Richard Stark's Parker novels, I was curious to know why there hasn't been any Repairman Jack Graphic Novels? It seems like a no-brainer. RJ's Universe is seemingly a perfect fit for the medium. I could think of a host of great comic artists who could do justice to Jack's world.

It would be a huge treat for us already familiar with Jack, and it'd also bring a lot of comic fans who weren't familiar with FPW or Jack into the mix. Win-win situation, no?

Any opinions, for those familiar with the medium, of what comic artists you would most like to see tackle Jack?

Hiya! So, i've just gotten my ipad and was hoping to get all the RJ and AC novels into it for reading. But when i browse the site i only find them in certain formats (kindle, nook, sony, etc). So is there a way or anywhere i can get relevant formats (i believe for ipads it should be epub) to satisfy my desire of collecting them all?

This may have been covered in one of the numerous threads in the forum -- I searched, but could find no hits on Borderlands Press (which surprised me) -- so sorry if this is a repeat question.

I have the Adversary Cycle in this edition. What I'd like to know is the LATEST versions of any of these six books are different than the Borderlands' versions.

Thanks,

John

So on Saturday I'm bitching about the celebrity culture and how I couldn't think of anyone I'd cross the street to meet. Comes Sunday I'm sitting in the hotel bar and in walks Shelly Berman (apparently he's in a 5-0 episode) whose comedy records I listened to as a kid. I can still quote passages. So who must, simply MUST get his photo with the man? He's still funny. Tugs on his toupe and tells Dennis he should think about getting one, looks at me and says, "Yours is pretty good - almost looks real." http://twitpic.com/aqr8br

I've absolutely devoured the RPJ and Adversary books since rediscovering the Keep (previously the only book in the series I had read) earlier this summer. I'm currently finishing The Dark at the End and can honestly say that I've never hated a villain more, I'm sincerely looking forward to Nightworld. Cheers FPW!
