Entropic State Report 15th February 2025

Bradford remains chiily and wet this February but all the more reason to muse upon interesting readings and rustle up more stupid names for ships for my Let's Play Fucking D&D game (latest, Dish of Ploons).I've also just managed to get another episode largely in the can as my mate John came back to look … Continue reading Entropic State Report 15th February 2025 →

Entropic State Report 7th January 2025

Welcome friends... to 2025! The festive period here at Derry & Toms (Bradford branch) has been a funny one, punctuated by hospital visits to the awd fella, lifted in the middle by a boozy visit from Loz (see Episode 101), and then run down to a gooey conclusion by a heroic dose of lurgy that … Continue reading Entropic State Report 7th January 2025 →

Entropic State Report 29th June 2024

It's time for us to decamp to the coast for our jollies again. Not Morecambe this time though, no. We're headed to the far side of Morecambe Bay to Grange-over-Sands, a bonny place with an incredibly picturesque railways station, some nice boozers and (most importantly perhaps) a used book shop with a pretty cracking fantasy … Continue reading Entropic State Report 29th June 2024 →

Entropic State Report 16th June 2024

Greetings pards, I hope you're playing a good hand at the tables this fine day. A few years ago when I recorded the episode on Letters From Hollywood with Dirk, we raised a glass to departed friends. One was my old mate Magic Paul who I'd lost contact with some time in the early 2000s. … Continue reading Entropic State Report 16th June 2024 →

Entropic State Report 24th January 2024

How is January 2024 almost up already??? That's a rhetorical question really as I've long since come to the realisation that as we gradually return to our natural state of sludge and atoms time just speeds up at a frankly ridiculous rate. It's a shame too as (as ever) all I want to do is … Continue reading Entropic State Report 24th January 2024 →

Entropic State Report 6th February 2023

Dear friends, Phil and I have embarked upon our winter retreat, on this occasion to the incredibly picturesque harbour town of Barmouth. Yes, Barmouth. The scene of Guy N Smith's terror double-bill of Night of the Crabs and its subsequent sidequel, Crabs Moon. Now I'm not saying we decided to commit a whole week of … Continue reading Entropic State Report 6th February 2023 →

Entropic State Report 20th January 2023

Dear pards, It's a steely cold and foggy day up in the hills of Bradford, which I'm fine with. It beats cold, wet and muddy and I do find the crispness and crunchiness underfoot weirdly energising. I'll just listen out for the creak of massive wheels and remain vigilant regarding strange, distorted shapes in the … Continue reading Entropic State Report 20th January 2023 →

Entropic State Report 6th December 2022 – RELEASE DATE

It's finally release day* for the new Elric novel, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths. If you're in the UK I hope your delivery isn't delayed too badly by the mail strikes. Solidarity with Royal Mail staff btw - I can wait - also Neil Burton and I were very fortunate to receive advanced reader copies … Continue reading Entropic State Report 6th December 2022 – RELEASE DATE →

Entropic State Report 4th September 2022

Well, that's summer just about over. A record-breaking heatwave, some muggy, humid weeks and now into September - rain. And more rain. Feels much more traditional now. Accompanying the change, a good dose of lurgy has landed in this house and every couple of hours I've been alternating between teeth-chatteringly cold and slowly cooking in … Continue reading Entropic State Report 4th September 2022 →

Entropic State Report 8th June 2022

It's been a joyous few weeks since I sent out the Patron Demon and contributor copies of Vol II of the Journal and I've heard back from most folks that they arrived safe and sound across the globe. So, despite frequent reports to the contrary, Brexit has not quite fucked up our postal system. HUZZAH! … Continue reading Entropic State Report 8th June 2022 →
