Boleskine Bought


When I delivered some copies of Netherwood to The Atlantis Bookshop yesterday Geraldine Beskin told me that Boleskine had been bought by the Boleskine House Foundation who want to highlight the importance of Crowley and Thelema and - after extensive restoration - open Boleskine to the public (!) Maybe one day the bookshop will be selling Netherwood, although I'm sure it will have sold out by then.

Worth looking at the Foundation website here.

Netherwood still on sale


I've been notified by a couple of interested customers (thanks) that the Big Cartel site was not showing Netherwood and Secret Tunnels of England: Folklore & Fact as still being on sale.

I have made some adjustments at the Accumulator Press page and can confirm that they most definitely ARE on sale - a copy of Netherwood was bought just last night. Sorry for any confusion.

There are less than 50 copies of Secret Tunnels and around 130 of Netherwood remaining (inserts are also still available).

They can be bought from The Big Cartel here.

I don't want to bang on about it, but this week I despatched 16 copies of Netherwood to various shops and individuals and I don't think I'll be producing a third edition, so I can see it selling out in the next few months.

Also available from Treadwells in London and Hare & Hawthorn in Hastings, both shops that I've had very good dealings with and have sold a lot of copies on my behalf.

Caveat Emptor: I recently had a brief encounter with someone who agreed to sell Netherwood and ripped me off - won't name him natch, but the fact that he boasts of being a 'socialist' on his website certainly rankles. Luckily the number of books involved was very small.

The reason for the lack of activity on the blog is that I'm currently working with my trusty typesetter on a new edition of an earlier book, to which I've added considerably more text and much more comprehensive footnotes, together with some different illustrations. I'm hoping to have it printed and published by the autumn of this year. More news soon.

The next event is 26 September talking on Decadent London for Salon for the City with Nina Antonia talking about Lionel Johnson. I'm flattered to see that I'm described as a 'cult writer'.  Tickets available HERE.
