Hi Ed & everyone else,

I thought it was about time I logged myself on here as I've been a fan for about a year. Threw myself in at the deep end with The Bighead, The Pig, Gast and have not looked back since. Trolley No.1852 is on my shelf waiting to be read right now and I can't wait to get stuck into it.

Also, I would like to extend my thanks to Mr Lee for writing the first work of horror I've ever had to take a break from because I was so grossed out by it. That doesn't happen to me very often and the work in question was The Minotauress. The scene that did it was the hock party. Some real evil at work there.

Keep up the good work, mate. You're an inspiration and your stuff has encouraged me to go all out in my own writing endeavours.

Welcome Greg! Lee is an awesome writer, and an even more amazing guy. Good to know there is yet another fan out there. Bob

Greg: thanks very much for the note and thanks for coming on the board. Believe me, I'm thrilled that the Hock Party gave you cause to stall! Stuff like that is what authors need to hear! There will one day in the dim future be a sequel to Minotauress (the Crafter House is still rife with possibilities!) If you got a kick out of the Hock Party, you'll probably also get a kick out of Header 2, Going Monstering, and Haunter of the Threshold (when the latter comes out in trade pb.) Thanks for ordering--I hope you approve of my depiction of HPL. Take care and be well!

Best,
Edward Lee.

Greg, I too am a fan from England, though exiled in Korea for now. I started out with The Minotauress a few months ago. That is one tickety-boo novel. I reckon it's the grossest I have yet read. More so than the Pig.

Glad to hear there could be a sequel. With the Minotauress running around in the woods somewhere and the Spermatagoyle chasing squirells around the garden last we heard, it would be nice to catch up with those old friends later on down the line.

I will get The Bighead next. Going Monstering sounds good and Header 2 having loved the film, but I just can't see myself parting with $40-50 for a novel. Maybe if I get desperate to read them or visit amazon drunk, otherwise I will have to wait a year or so for the paperbacks.

Greg: Joshi's books are all brilliant, especially A Life. They're indispensable. Also, check his book on HPL's letters during the time he lived in New York. Later!
