Thanks for all the news!
ReplyDeleteI recently rediscovered Morbid Outlook and read some of the articles I never got around to reading on earlier visits. It looks like the site has been on hiatus since January 2010 but there's mention of an August relaunch during the podcast interview. The interview is also well worth hearing for Laura McCutchan's recollections of the difficulties during the early pre-internet days of the magazine.
Orlando.
Goodness, I hope DCD make it to the western US (specifically Salt Lake or Boise). The Dark Shadows reprints will also be worth picking up. And Byzantium! With Saorise Ronan! I cannot wait.
