Warhammer Wednesday: Inferno!
Almost two months ago, I posted that Black Library's short story anthology
Inferno!
was coming back, as both a new book and as classic reprints of the original magazines from back in the day. Well the opportunity was too good to miss, so I indulged.
The print quality isn't quite as good as the original magazines, but that's down to them being print on demand rather than printed using traditional repro techniques, but most of the artwork still holds up. And flicking through those first five magazines, I realised I had forgotten quite how much I contributed in those early days.
The reprints of the old mags are no longer available from Black Library, but the new paperback anthology format is, with Inferno! #2 coming in January 2019.

"There are also these marvellous things called Beta readers – a friend who does have direct experience, can offer invaluable insight. And that means, if you’re a man wanting to write a credible female PoV, for example, you don’t make the classic cock-ups. So to speak."~ Danie Ware , Author

Scrooge and Marley (Deceased): The Haunted Man
Available in time for Christmas, from
Green Man Books
, is the traditional seasonal ghost story
Scrooge and Marley (Deceased): The Haunted Man
.
“I come this night to ask for your help, Ebenezer,” the ghost said.
A year on from the events of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge finds himself visited once again by the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who brings with him a new proposition. Just as Marley helped Scrooge to avoid the cruel fate that the last of the Three Spirits foretold, Marley wants Scrooge to help him reduce his time in Purgatory.
And so begins an epic adventure that will see the former friends face off against all manner of phantasms, freaks and fiends, with only one thing at stake… Everything!
"An entertaining, well-written sequel to 'A Christmas Carol' with plenty of fun twists."
