The feverish blog of Warren Ellis has just been squatted on by Steven Aylett. The author of Slaughtermatic, the brain behind The Caterer, introduces himself in brain spasms.
KILLING FROM A DISTANCE: I sent a copy of my juvenilia The Crime Studio to William Burroughs – a week later he was dead. I sent a copy of Bigot Hall to Stephen Fry and he went temporarily insane. It really began when I got a copy of The Crime Studio into Broadmoor to get a blurb remark from Ronnie Kray. He didn’t provide a blurb remark but decided he wanted to be a writer, and sent me a story about a young man on the way to be hanged, a tender bloom to be cut down like a flower. Fearing reprisals if I said it was crap, I decided to ignore the entire situation.
Thanks Bryan! I had forgotten about this author. I read Shamanspace years ago, but I never found another book by him. Now I can find his other novels.

Oh, have fun. I'm fond of Slaughtermatic. Bigot Hall is a treat, too.
