If you pre-ordered Revenge of Monsters from the Vault direct from the publisher, your copy will be shipping out as early as this week. For those who got e-book versions instead, or as well, the emails containing those have already gone out, and should be in your inbox forthwith.

If you didn’t get your pre-orders in, you can still pre-order from your favorite bookseller or right here. The book is technically out on August 15th which is… [checks watch] real soon. I’m told there will be copies at Lovecraft Arts & Sciences at NecronomiCon later this month, where I will also be.

If you pre-ordered from Innsmouth Free Press, your copy will come signed. If not, and you want to catch me at NecronomiCon, I’ll be happy to put the ol’ skeleton Hancock on it for you.

Speaking of NecronomiCon, the full schedule has been released… or has it? I’ll be on a panel talking about Manly Wade Wellman (one of my favorite subjects) on Saturday at 1:30pm and one about cinematic adaptations of other weird fiction writers besides Lovecraft (another of my favorite subjects) at 9am on Sunday. I’ll also be participating in a group reading from Pluto in Furs, which contains my very strange story “Stygian Chambers” and is out now. The group reading is Saturday at 6pm.

There’s also a chance that I’ll be doing some suitably occult stuff that is currently under wraps, so if you’re coming, keep a weather eye.
