Comments: Ciao Mr Pelan,
I'm happy to see that there are some "pelan" in USA too (my brother Marco already has written you). I live in Italy, and here there are only 2 families with this last name!
I'm very curious, do you know from wich part of the world you come from? (because I don't)
Anyway, I wish you a great 2002!
Laura

Comments: Happy Holidays to all!



I've just learned that THE DARKER SIDE will be out in May and hopefully FAMILY TRADITION and the reprint edition of GOON will be along shortly along with the graphic adaptation of "Transcendence". Promises to be a pretty good year... Thanks to you all for your support and encouragement, three and half months of writer's block has ended and I'm back at it hard with hopes of keeping to my 1000 words a day for all 365 days next year.



Cheers,




John

Comments: Hiya John, I'm curious about FAMILY TRADITIONS. What's the word on that one? Can we expect it to be published soon? Also, when do you expect the companion antho for DARKSIDE to hit? Looking forward to them both.

Comments: Hi John! Yeah, it has been a long time. Years, I think (my fault). Hope you're doing OK. I'm extremely glad to hear Colour is coming out at last because I've been waiting to read it since '98. If it's in line with your ambitions, it's going to be amazing. Anyway, have a happy Xmas!

Long time! Funny you should mention TCOOD... It will either show up as a stand alone from a new imprint or be incorporated into my collection DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND... One way or another, I want it to see print in the next year.



Cheers,



John

Comments: John, whatever happened to YOUR Mythos story The Color Out of Darkness? I remember you said you were setting out to write the most nihilistic horror story you could, and it was about Jack the Ripper and the Mythos, but then I never heard any more about it. Is it ever coming out?

Comments: Hi Steven:

I wish that I could provide more information on the Visiak omnibus at present. The amount of manuscript material to be gone through makes it one of our more complex projects. I'm pretty confident that we'll be able to put all the pieces of the puzzle in place by mid-summer 2002.

Comments: Hi Simon:



I certainly do remember Tim Stout, I even have two of his three collections. The only thing that would cause me to shy away from this would be the ready availability of his books. You can still pick up nice firsts from Simon Gosden and/or Andy Richards for ten pounds or less. Another blast from the past... David Campton... Unfortunately, there's just not quiite enough material for a whole book...



Cheers,



John

Comments: On the subject of collections it'd be good to see... anyone remember the writer Tim Stout, who used to appear a lot in Richard Davis' Spectre and Space anthologies? I think he managed a couple of his own collections, too. A really underrated horror writer.

Comments: Sorry to have been misssing in action the last week or so, it's been a remarakably busy time solidifyinng a couple of major projects that I can't talk about just yet... Anyway, here's the list Eric asked for, THE CHILDREN OF CTHULHU will be out from Del Rey Books in January in hardcover with a stunning cover by Dave McKean! Hopefully I haven't made a mess of this contents list converting to html...

Cheers,

John

Comments: John Pelan,

honoured to have made it into this issue of Urbanite alongside you, Christopher Fowler and others - I am stunned by the standard of writers in that (the Astrology) and previous issues.

Really honoured.
