It happened a week or two back, but a big thank you to everyone out there visiting The Dreaming. We hit half a million visits to The Dreaming’s front page alone.

I’m touched, flattered and very happy that you’ve found this site useful.

I’ll also take this time to send out a big “Thank you bunches!” to Lucy Anne, who has really been doing a great job since the news script allowed her to post here.

Yet more odds and ends I don’t think I have seen here.

Evadne found this little morsel on http://www.gormenghastcastle.co.uk/

The Peake family are planning a graphic novel of Gormenghast, the adaption to be done by Neil Gaiman, with artwork by Dave McKean.

Update: June 20, 2000 - Neil emailed to say that the Peake family have not asked him to do a Gormenghast Graphic Novel, though BBC America did ask him for a quote about the TV Series.

In addition to clarifying some things in some of the news from the past few days, Neil passed this along:

And I hear that MURDER MYSTERIES won’t be coming out from Dove Audio, due to problems at Dove Audio and that the scifi channel are looking for a new audio publisher for it (and for everything else I suppose).

Gauntlet #19 is out with the second half of Roel Torres’ interview with Neil (the first half was in #17). The whole issue is full of articles and interviews discussing comics and censorship. Unfortunately, they still haven’t updated their website, but the link would be at http://www.gauntletpress.com/magazine/Default.htm

Browzing around Amazon.com and noticed that Princess Mononoke is available on DVD and Video. The Video is priced for rental (in other words: VERY EXPENSIVE), but the DVD is an excellent $18 or so, and their page says it ships in 2-3 days.

So what are you waiting for? Buy Princess Mononoke on DVD!

UPDATE: June 23, 2000 - The Amazon page has changed and now says the release date is January 1, 2001. Oh well…

While you’re there, pick up Fight Club - along with American Beauty, it was my favorite movie last year.

There are two Neil stories due to appear in the next volume of Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror.
One is “Keepsakes and Treasures”, which appeared previously in the 999 collection.
The other is “Harlequin Valentine”, which appeared previously in the Strange Attraction collection.
