The Cabinet War Rooms

This seemed a good place to put this item...

I don't know if DW will be mentioned in this book at all, but there's a new volume on Churchill and the Cabinet War Rooms:

Also if you check out Dennis Wheatley on kindle store (for example, via amazon) the front covers have been re-vamped with new designs. I went to look at these at the Kobo store (my e-reader), and quite liked them. Unfortunately, that abomination Natural Selection also shows up there. I took the opp...

And in a sense, new DW readers will have it better than those who read him in his prime... they will get to read the novels in proper chronological order, and follow the Duke as a young man desperately in love to a man who dies in heroic circumstances. I wonder if reading them that way would make i...

I see that Book Depository is now scheduling the Mercer DW audiobooks at $9.99 (USD). At that price, I am certainly going to get The Forbidden Territory, and see how I like it...

They are certainly very minor Wheatley. Still, I printed them out on a sheet of paper, and inserted it in my Lymington edition of Gunmen, Gallants and Ghosts. We shall see what else the newsletter brings our way...

You can't say they're not promoting his stuff! $8.99 for three novels--it's never been this inexpensive. (I'd love to know how it's selling...)

Re: Bill for the use of a body

Charles Beck informs me that Julian Day was supposed to have appeared in a total of seven books relative to this theme. It never happened. It does make you wonder what the outcome would have been for Merri and Julian if they had been given the opportunity to fill those extra books that were origina...

I was surprised to see today that Matthew Coniam's Dennis Wheatley Project has new content...for the first time in over two years! He's only gotten up to the book (and film of) Uncharted Seas , but the most interesting thing came a few days before that: a link to an interview with Miranda Vaughan Jo...

You probably all know (and I think it's been posted here) that Tartarus collected Mr Dobson's essays into a book, following his death. Like all Tartarus titles, it was a small edition, and sold out quickly. To console myself for not getting the book, I ordered the single issue Steve talks about, and...

I still wish he had written more Black Magic Stories. It was mentioned at the Convention that it would have been nice to have read a Julian Day story in this genre. It must have been his least successful series, as he abandoned the plan to write six (?) novels, in which Julian got his own back on t...
