No worries. Most of the content of that collection has made its way into the EO volume. All but two stories, I believe. I'm unsure if the reprinted tales have been revised in any way.

And to answer an earlier question, I too have not yet received my copy of Mark's latest book. Soon, I hope. Soon.

I plan on buying both the Watt and the Howard once they see print.

Oops, the Howard book is in stock now, I find. Mea culpa.

.
Two tales and a novella are omitted from the the first collection in this new collection. I don't know if they have been revised either.

Once you can hear them it is already too late.
If their sound resembles the vuvuzela which has been very present during warm up matches for the World Cup, I hope I shall never hear them.:(

I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive.
My copy arrived today:D

For once I have the happy problem of too much to read.

My own copy arrived fairly quickly for post from across Europe.

Just incase anyone does not yet know the list of contents has changed slightly from the one on the website. The volume now contains an extra story and an article:

Losenef Express
Xapalpa
Glickman the Bibliophile
The Man Who Collected Machen
A Slave of Melancholy
Thyxxolqu
A Question of Obeying Orders
The Age of Decayed Futurity
The Black Mould
Nor Unto Death Utterly
A Contaminated Text
A Great Life Spoilt*

Article on the connection between Wilde, Douglas and Machen.

A Great Life Spoilt was originally published by Tartarus Press in the volume AKLO. I'm not sure, but I don't think revisions have been made. For those who don't own AKLO, I think it's a very nice addition to the book.

Glyphotech left me somewhat lukewarm, although Samuels' as always left some very striking images. The Man Who Collected Machen is, in my opinion much better than Glyphotech and feels, for me at least, to have more of a common theme; many stories share some variant of a necropolis, and that is mirrored and turned into what could be termed some of the characters' personal necropolises (and not necropolices, as I mistyped the word the first time).

The Black Cupboard and The Silver Voices are out, and have arrived in Copenhagen. Both are beautiful books, gold stamps are extraordinary.

Oh, there's a cool review of TMWCM here:

Also a photo of a ginger tom reading my first book.

And if you keep on going there's also a review of the immortal Q's RYAOB.

I too had pre-ordered both the Bell and Duffy books. I emailed Dan to see if he could apply the payments to other new releases. However, so far I have not heard back. Has anyone else heard from Dan regarding how he is going to handle pre-payments for cancelled titles?

I'm still waiting for my copy of The Man Who Collected Machen.
I see I ordered this way back in July last year!
