Another smashing collection here c/o @hoopmanjh
A glorious shelf of beautiful hardcovers (that I covet) and some wonderful, yellowing and well-thumbed scifi and fantasy of varying stripes and hues.
Keep em coming…

Month: Oct 2019
Moorcock Shelfies 01 @thebanMonk and @beanyfied
An occasional series where the twitterati share their awesome shelfies. Today, J-Sun (@thebanMonk) shows us a pretty epic collection. Just look at those groaning shelves… Ugh… Gorgeous.
Nice RPG collection too!
Also from twitter, Reactionary (@beanyfied) lays a tidy little collection of 70s and 80s treasure on us…
Episode 02 – The Jewel in the Skull Book One
Natasha and I discuss Book One of The Jewel in the Skull. It’s got it all!
Moorcock discussion? Check!
Moorcroft? Sure, why not!
Bagging small English towns? Check!
Dogs wagging tails? Check and check!
NOW IN THC SOUND!
Thanks are once again due to Neil for his ace moral and technical support.
Note: The bulk of this was recorded before Episode One, so we’re already entering into the true spirit of Moorcock by complicating our own internal chronology.
Breakfast in the Ruins Book Club
Thanks to a great sugestion from a fellow traveller (@walfseo, you know who you are), I’ll now be posting in good time to let you know what we’ll be covering next.
So, with that in mind, dust off your copy of The Jewel in the Skull and get reading.
In epsiode 02 Natasha and I will be discussing Book One of The Jewel in the Skull (pages 7 to 39) and having a few tugs of Angostura Rum and some delicious Trinidadian cuisine!
If you can get your thoughts to me by Sunday 28th October I’ll include them in the outro!
Episode 01 – Elric part 1 – The Dreaming City
Join Loz and I as we discuss the first published Elric story, The Dreaming City.
Loz is an old friend and fellow traveller of the moonbeam roads and will be a regular contributor.
In this, the first full-blooded episode of Breakfast in the Ruins we take a look at the first published story featuring (arguably) Michael Moorcock’s most enduring creation, the moody albino warrior-sorcerer-emperor-wanderer Elric.
As discussed in the episode, be sure to check out the Stormbringer episodes of The Grognard Files (available at https://thegrognardfiles.com/tag/stormbringer/)
Thanks to Neil (@nelbert1 on twitter) for the ace support and Jonny Royale for the enthusiasm and positivity that ensured I got on and did this.
The music in this episode is by Giantkind, by kind permission of Loz & Neil!
Episode 00 – Introduction to Breakfast in the Ruins
The first, introductory episode of the Breakfast in the Ruins podcast. I explain my reasons for my obsession with Moorcock, and my partner Phil joins me for a drink and a chinwag.
Episode One proper will follow over the next couple of days. Meanwhile I’ll try to figure out how to embed players in wordpress!
See you on the moonbeam roads!
