Ok, so I have been hoarding all Secret Histories books/stories but cannot seem to get my hands on "The Long Way Home" short story. Is it in the anthology "Dark at Heart"?. . .Or, from where can it be downloaded?I haven't had any luck with Amazon Shorts. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the only missing link in my collection, and I really am ready to read everything as outlined. :confused:

I'm just guessing (I'm basically just too lazy to look it up right now!) but I would think it's in the forthcoming Quick Fixes anthology. I remember reading that this Repairman Jack shorts collection was due to go to print sometime at the end of last month so it's probably imminent.
(Although I believe it's already available in an e-book format.)

It is indeed in Quick Fixes which is available on Kindle:

Thanks for the feedback; I'll either order Dark at Heart or just wait for Quick Fixes. I'm old fashioned, so I stay away from the kindle, but thhanks just the same.

At the risk of heading off-topic, will the proper book-type release of Quick Fixes be available over here in Sunny England? Or is it a limited release Over There? I don't want to get too excited if I'm going to be denied at the last minute!

I believe it'll be in the same category as The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium and Draculas. So, if you can get paper copies of those books off of Amazon, you're okay.

Well I definitely bought Draculas from Amazon but I can't remember where I got the Peabody Ozymanias book. I'll just keep my eyes peeled.
Thanks.

The Peabody book rocked, but if you can get a copy of Freak Show, I'd recommend you do so. One of the best short story anthologies I've ever read.
