I shipped a good number of books in late January and early February. So you may very well have received something from me. Included in the shipments were several different titles from Battered Silicons Lost Treasures of the Pulps series. I have one extra copy of one of these titles, The Compleat Adventures of Satan Hall. If you ordered one of these from me, but have not received it, please drop me a line. I mistakenly wrote down the wrong customers name when I recorded this order and cannot find who the book was actually meant for. There was an unexpected death in the month of January. Author and pulp fan Howard Hopkins who, many years ago, published the Golden Perils fanzine, passed away at the age of fifty. PulpFest will be holding a tribute to Howard and David Burton (whose death I announced last month) on Saturday afternoon, August 11th Customer Scott Urban has had another story published by S M Horror Magazine, an online periodical. You can read Biting the Hand by visiting http://www.snmhorrormag.com/snmfebmarissue1.htm.

It will be appearing in fall 2013. Needless to say, Im very proud of him. Hippocampus Press won the Horror Writers Associations Specialty Press Award for 2011.
