A Quick Thank You.

As the final page of Brides Of Babayka goes up this coming Saturday, I’d just like to put out a quick thank you to a certain group of people. Namely all those folks who both kindly bought the graphic-novel, and also didn’t post any spoilers online. You people will forever have my thanks. As we reach the end of Book 1 on Babayka-Lives, I feel it’s nothing short of a miracle that no one did. With troll culture being the annoying, itchy rash of the internet age, I thought it was only a matter of time before some faceless swine did, to be honest. It seemed like ‘low hanging fruit’ just waiting for some bitter, attention seeking troll or trollette (or whatever a female version of a troll is called) to come along and do so. There’s more than enough copies of the book floating around both the UK and the US, that I really did think it would be more a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ someone did go online and leak the storyline, so the fact that this didn’t happen is very cool, and shows how awesome readers are.

So again, thank you to all those that bought the book and stayed tight-lipped about spoilers. It says good things about you as human beings that you did. I wish I knew the identities of more of the people who are buying copies of Brides Of Babayka in these early years. I sometimes secretly wonder if maybe it’s the curse of being a horror writer, that people are therefore less inclined to approach you?

So soon we’ll be moving on to Book 2 (the title of which will be announce James Bond style very soon, so keep an eye out for that), but for now, hope you’ll all tune in this Saturday for page-100 of Brides Of Babayka, your last bit of sequential Babayka action for 2015. So check out the action at Babayka-Lives this weekend.
