That whole Darkland Tales series is fascinating to me. I am happy to tell you that Mina's recent chat with Chris Brookmyre at the Edinburgh International Book Festival is available to stream through September on a pay what you can basis. This was one of the most lovely and delightful talks I saw at the festival and I warmly recommend it -- they mostly talk about Savonarola but they do get into other topics as well, including that Mina was recently commissioned by the Raymond Chandler estate to write a Philip Marlowe novel.

Alan Warner and David Grieg also spoke together about their Darkland Tales publications (Grieg's is set for publication later this year) and it too is available to watch.

Oh, brilliant. Thanks. Will check it out. Darkland Tales is the best idea for a novella series that I think I've ever seen.
