COMPETITION RESULTS & OTHER NEWS
posted by Sarah Pinborough at 09:28Hey,
Firstly, thanks for all the laughs you've given me this week with your summaries of my favourite films! It's been very entertaining - so much so that I've decided that two extra people will get signed copies of a random book of mine (whichever I grab from the shelf first) as a reward (or punishment if you don't like horror) for their efforts.
Winner of 'The Language of Dying' Ltd Ed -

@Mihaidarkwolf Gilda: if the doctor prescribes or the devil offers a life of gambling, a beautiful woman or bad company it might be wise to reconsider
@csdaley I thought I'm going to watch Gilda again & win. Then I drank too much & passed out. Face meets floor=recap. Dead people in black and white.
Thanks also to all who entered who didn't get a mention here ;-) Good work all round. If the winners could email me their postal addresses I'll get stuff emailed to them next week.

Terrific news re: Hellbound Hearts. As the most tragic of Barker fans, I was going to buy this book anyway, but now I have another excuse. I've been meaning to check out some of your work for ages and if I like what I see in HH as much as I think I'm going to, many more of your books will find their way onto my shelves.
Thanks! I think HH is going to be a great anthology..I'm looking forward to reading it too!
Sarah, congratulationsfor winning the British Fantasy Award this week-end! I am very happy for you :)
