I lost my copy of Amber Spacelines at some point in my life. Not returned by a friend or left behind at the break up of a relationship... Copies rarely turn up in the vinyl shops of Weychester and they are always way beyond my price range. I can still recall those "Nigerian Hawkwind tribute band" rhythms though, and I play them in my head note perfect when I need to.

Especially strong one this time out, guvnor.

Very pleased to read the deep dive on the Ballard Incident and invisible literatures. My favourite of these outside the county is the creepypasta gestalt The SCP Foundation, which is basically done in the form of a secret database cataloguing anomalous artefacts (sometimes including people) held under storage to Secure, Contain and Protect. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/

This has gone even wider than Slenderman at his peak and has resulted in at least one novel, the excellent There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm.

Damn, I was at DragonCon in 2010 and I could have attended this.

I would very much like a talisman again the Hum should Hookland ephemera become available.
