Our workroom clearance sale continues with an unexpected find: the last few copies of the limited edition (only 150 printed) short horror pamphlet On the Banks of the River Jordan.

In an appropriate time and place, reading On the Banks of the River Jordan can make one question their own security in a world filled with the spectres of bygone horrors, just like other great weird stories incorporating history do.

– Grim Blogger, May 2010

On the Banks of the River Jordan is on sale now  for £4.99 with FREE P&P to the UK and Eire (£1 everywhere else) in our shop.

I’ve also found a few copies of 800 Years of Haunted Liverpool.

800 Years of Haunted Liverpool takes the reader on a tour through the streets, cemeteries, alehouses, attics and docks of Liverpool.

Drawing on historical and contemporary sources and containing many tales which have never before been published, it unearths a chilling range of supernatural phenomena.

800 Years of Haunted Liverpool is on sale now  for £9.99 with a FREE copy of On the Banks of the River Jordan and FREE P&P to the UK and Eire  in our shop.

ometimes with Twitter, and Facebook, and Google+, and everything else, we get so used to putting bitesized chunks of information out quickly, as and when, we forget that some of the more major stuff can easily get lost amid more trivial things. So, for the benefit of those of you who might not be addicted to any of the above sites (as well as those who are but just missed any of this info as it zipped past), here are few exciting bits of Moore & Reppion news:

• The Thrill Electric will be available on iTunes (still 100% FREE) as of next month.
• Darklore Vol VI is coming early December 2011 (just in time for Xmas) and features an article about the mysterious prehistoric Calderstones monument here in Liverpool, written by John Reppion.
• Moore & Reppion have just sold their first Black Museum story to 2000 AD (thanks Tharg).
• We’re writing a brand new 8 issue series for Dynamite Entertainment (we also have our second Sherlock Holmes series – The Liverpool Demon – coming next year).

That’s all we can tell you about for now but there’s plenty more exciting news to come very soon. If you’re not one who Twits, or a Facebooker, or whatever, you might want to subscribe to our mailing list to make sure you don’t miss anything. Otherwise, please keep checking the site for regular updates.

t  3.09 am (Greenwich Mean Time) tomorrow morning the centre of our Sun will be in the same plane as our planet’s equator and the Summer will officially turn to Autumn. There will also, for the first time in nine years, be a full moon in the sky to see in the new season. The Harvest Moon appears larger than other full moons and often takes on a reddish tinge… but it’s too cloudy here to see it at the moment, sadly.

2010 seems to be flying past and it feels rather weird not to have had anything new out since May (not counting collections). Rest assured that we’re still working our arses off, cracking on with Sherlock Holmes – The Liverpool Demon, and preparing for that very, very, very exciting project we keep mentioning but not telling you anything about. Alright, how about this as a tiny bit more info – in addition to Windflower Studio, we’ll also be working with the wonderful Emma Vieceli. Excited now? You should be!

Who would have thought that it would take us two years from the picture to the left was taken at Thought Bubble Leeds to fulfil our ambitions of working with both Leigh Gallagher and Ms. Vieceli… and that no-one would get to read any of it until 2011… Ah well.

We have been proofing scripts and indeed artwork for that Mike Raicht penned Dynamite follow up series we mentioned not so long ago and it looks like #1 of that should be hitting the stands soon (we’d like to think around Halloween, but that’s not definite). It’d be nice to be able to show you a bit of that but we can’t really. No honestly, we can’t. Well, I mean… okay, look… so long as you don’t tell anyone, yeah? Alright.

I’ve just found out today that my 2008 book 800 Years of Haunted Liverpool has been re-printed for a third time and I’m thinking about doing some signed limited editions with some kind of small extra thing thrown in (like last time).

The books would be £9.99 each with free postage to the UK and Ireland (no idea about the rest of the world yet but would endeavour to keep it as cheap as possible). What do you think? If you’re interested then please let us know and, if enough people are, I’ll get something sorted.

Cheers.
