>He does look a lot like Ellis going to a fancy dress contest as D'israeli, doesn't he?

Or a long lost Mitchell brother. Or a balder version of me with more piggy eyes.

[DavidXBrunt]

Or how you'd imagine the writer who thought up the Mitchels would look.

[Quirkafleeg]

I notice he's won 'Writers of the Future'... that's the Scientology sponsered thing no normal person would touch with a ten foot pole.

I saw a copy of it in a local bookshop, it just looked like a fairly innocent short story compilation to me.

(oh, and I picked up THE BEAST by Peter Benchly for 25c. He's DEAD you know...)

[The Amstor Computer]

The Beast? Pah, you want to get your mitts on White Shark - beware the Nazi shark supersoldier!

[Quirkafleeg]

White Shark rocks... and I've read the Beast three times (never read Jaws oddly enough). I would really recommend Lush (Rummies in yankland) if you ever see it

Hey, this is some shop where you plonk your cash in a jar and take your item - it's not Amazon you know.

[The Amstor Computer]

I read Jaws only after years of watching the movie. Quite pleasantly surprised by it, though needless to say a certain scene near the end between a couple of the main characters had me going "WTF?". IIRC, it was inserted at the request of the publisher & it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Brokeback Schooner!

Hahahaha.   This just gets better and better.

For the person who provides the best picture evidence of their efforts to terrorize the world with von Carsteins there will be a nifty little prize.

Best picture to prove your dedication wins one of these.

So what are you waiting for?

[House of Usher]

You see, Gary - I told you that goth kids who *really* think they're vampires read too much and listen to music too little. Why, I bet they read Steven Savile too.

[GordonR]

It's like the Mooneys, isn't it?  

Tell all your friends, harrass them into buying my books, pester lowly-paid people who work in bookshops, go down to your local wargames club and talk loudly about me until they ask you to leave.

It's a difficult choice (Just narrowly edging out the 'go into bookshops and turn my books face-out on the shelf' bit) , but I think I like this part the best:

"*Rewards include unpublished stories that will ONLY be available to Street Team members."

Translation: you get to read tat I haven't been able to sell to any publishers.
