The Adventures of Langdon St. Ives (Subterranean Press) is out.
Subterranean Press has released a chapbook of the short story Thirteen Phantasms
Babbage Press will be re-issuing some classic Blaylock books - watch this page for updates.
I've set up a re-vamped Blaylock discussion forum. Try it out!
Subterranean Press is publishing a Blaylock/Powers collaboration entitled The Devils in the Details
Clarkesworld Books is offering a special deal on The Man in the Moon. See here for details.
W. Chris Smith wrote to let us know that Cafeshops.com sells shirts and mugs featuring the Babbage Press covers for Digging Leviathan and Homunculus.
Added some more links to places on-line where Blaylock books can be found. Also, a rather bemusing cover--image for the French edition of The Disappearing Dwarf.
The short story, In for a Penny or The Man Who Believed in Himself, is online at scifi.com
Another short story, Small Houses, has been published on Scifi.com
A new short story, His Own Back Yard, is online at Scifi.com
Will Ferret, illustrator of several Blaylock books, kindly provided a great image of some goblins from the Morrigan edition of Magic Spectacles as well as the complete set of the illustrations he created for Homunculus.
Thirteen Phantasms, a short story collection from Edgewood Press, is available (see links here to bookstores and to the publisher's Thirteen Phantasms website). A cover images is posted online at our Thirteen Phantasms page.
A new short story The Other Side, has been published online at scifi.com
Subterranean Press has published a Blaylock chapbook called Home Before Dark (which I believe is already sold out), as well as a William Ashbless short story and poem published together as On Pirates (William Ashbless is a nom de plume of Blaylock and Tim Powers - available January 2001).
Babbage Press has reprinted Homunculus (June 2000) and the Digging Leviathan (Summer 2001).
A new Blaylock short story, The War of the Worlds, is up at scifi.com
Anyone interested in the Blaylock/Powers character William Ashbless might like to see one of the rare chapbooks published by the elusive poet...there's also part of an interview with Tim Powers at this site that describes the origin of Ashbless, and mentions the intriguing "William Ashbless Memorial Cookbook", which I hope someday goes into print. (and in fact, it has! See here...)
Cheese hat enthusiasts take note: in the aeroport scene in the movie "Dogma", someone is selling hats shaped like wedges of cheese.
This isn't strictly Blaylock-related, but it might amuse some Blaylock readers (especially those who like the Elfin Ship or the Last Coin) to know that the US Patent Office last year issued patent number 5,708,983 for an invention described as an "Inflatable Cheese Wedge Hat". It's comforting to know that the real world is sometimes like a Blaylock novel.
An interview/chat with Blaylock is available on the OMNI website, even though OMNI magazine is defunct now.
The chat with Blaylock on Event Horizon has been archived here.
There are still copies of the Triquarterly Journal, Northwestern University, #47, Winter, 1980, in which is published one of Blaylock's early short stories, "The Pink of Fading Neon"? Apparently the price is US$5.00:
