Posted at 11:45 AM Read More Thu - May 6, 2004BBCi Vampire Site Goes OnlineThe BBCi website's
vampire
special is now up. The site features -
amongst a huge amount of other vampire-related stuff - new fiction by Kim
Newman, Graham Masterton and Brian Stableford, amongst others. Michael's story
(entitled This Is Now) is superbly illustrated by Simon Davis (desktop-sized
versions of the pictures are downloadable from the gallery section) and you can
also listen to a reading of the story online! A very nicely-done
site.
You can go directly to the stories here. But check out the rest of the site too. Finally, a reminder for UK readers that Michael's story will be broadcast on BBC Radio 7 on 28th March 2004. Posted at 11:42 AM Read More The Annotated BibliographyDue for publication in April is Lavie Tidhar's
long-awaited soup-to-nuts bibliography of everything Michael has ever written.
Coming from PS
Publishing (who previously produced the original states of Michael's
novella The
Vaccinator), full information on the book can be
found here. As Tidhar
says...
"A treasure trove for collectors, the bibliography charts over ten years of Smith's extraordinary writing career, providing an overwhelming wealth of detail with regards to Smith's each and every publication, which achieves a new level of bibliographical study rarely if ever seen before. Complementing each entry are Smith's fascinating and diverse annotations, commenting on the origin of his stories, the process and development of his writing, and even answering the perennial question of where he gets his ideas from. Combining the two aspects in one book creates a unique bibliography-as-narrative that offers a rare window into the mind of a working writer at the height of his powers, and a handy guide to Smith's many fans and collectors." Head for the site to pre-order your copy. Posted at 11:42 AM Read More Mon - April 26, 2004New novel published soon; upcoming storiesMichael's next novel - the follow-up to THE STRAW
MEN - will be published April/Early May. In the UK it is called THE LONELY DEAD,
while in the US the title is THE UPRIGHT MAN: it will be published in both
territories under the name 'Michael Marshall'. Michael is now starting on a new
novel - no title for that as yet.
Stories... Michael will have a new story - entitled THIS IS NOW - on BBCi's website special on Vampires. The story will appear alongside new fiction from Kim Newman, Graham Masterton and others. The site is expected to go up in mid-March - and the URL will be www.bbc.co.uk/cult/vampires. Update: This story will also be broadcast on BBC Radio 7 on 28th March 2004. Another new story - GETTING OVER - will appear in PS Publishing's POSTSCRIPT magazine in the Summer of 2004. Also look for a further story - FAIR EXCHANGE - in Stephen Jones' upcoming "More Shadows Over Innsmouth" later in the year. Posted at 10:39 AM Read More |
