'Leper Messiah' Rebooted...and Resurrected

Chaz and Frang's prose/graphic novel collaboration which debuted in A Surfeit of Mandrake back in 2008 (almost exactly 6 years ago!) has been revised, extended, and was launched on Amazon Kindle this week. Frang's gritty graphic art once again graces the cover, and this edition also includes Frang's 'Fragments of a Time to Come' which graced the Mandrake anthology.

Chaz had always felt that the Mandrake anthology was forced out of circulation rather prematurely, due mainly to the close of the local Borders store, but also due to the start of the rise of the digital eBook. Now that Fenriswulf Books have almost totally abandoned print in favour of digital distribution, it's nice to see those pieces given another crack of the metaphorical whip.

Leper Messiah: A Pariah Messiah in Mandragoric Mollification is now on sale at Amazon, here.

Amazon and Hachette Resolve Bitter Dispute Over Price

And so finally it’s over…according to this article on the BBC.

Although I'm quite sure we haven't heard the last murmurings of discontent between the monolithic Amazon and the world of publishing...

A Tragicall Historie Retold

Fenriswulf Books have just released a newly-repackaged piece with a bit of history behind it - originally written in 1993 for the 400th anniversary of the death of Christopher Marlowe, Chaz's idiosyncratic blank verse tribute lay unseen until it was featured in the 2008 anthology A Surfeit of Mandrake , FWB's second ever publication and which had a very short shelf life due to the demise of Dundee's Borders soon after.

But Marlowe's ghost refused to stay forgotten, and now he's returned...

A rowdy post-modern theatre group perform a short boisterous play in tribute to their deceased master playwright - the dark, angry and precocious genius known as Christopher ('Kit' to his friends) Marlowe - shot through with lashings of black humour and tragedy.

Now available on Amazon for Kindle, right here.

And from the 5th - 9th November inclusive only, it'll be free, too.
