The other writing project was submitted to the editor so other than what will most likely be a final post-edit read-through that’s done so I was able to get back to this “little’ project.

There’s just two new items this week but the first one’s a previously unknown find.

I’m back from vacation and starting to get back into the groove of things. A new email newsletter and a new issue of Useless News helped.

Another great addition to the collection this week. A near mint copy of Energumen #8 containing “that essay.” I’d previously had a very clean PDF version, but having an original in the collection is something I’ve been hoping to accomplish for decades.

• Updated cover image of Energumen #8 for “Dean’s Drive”
• From the Desk of Dean: We bought a new dishwasher…
• Moon of the Wolf by Leslie H. Whitten Ace Paperback cover to Stuff (column)

While I’ve got you here, I’d like to give you a heads-up that I’ve got a vacation coming up so please don’t expect any updates for the next two weeks. I might sneak one in, but no promises.

There are just a handful of “holy grails” when it comes to items I’m still looking for. Sure there are a bunch of items I could just spend more than I’d like to on this afternoon, but then there are others that I’ve just never, or only once before, seen for sale. Well, this week I got to check one of them off my list: The Drowned Man’s Reel by Charles de Lint with an introduction by Dean.

Previously I’d known that the National Library in Quebuec had one but accessing it was basically impossible. I’d seen a record of another one having been sold previously on eBay but that was well before I knew to look for it. But now, one of just the 100 released (not sold, but given away privately,) is in my hands. And it’s inscribed to the, I assume, original owner by Mr. de Lint.

So, not a lot of new content this week, but one of them’s a doozy!

• April 1969 Playboy cover to Stuff (Column)
• Updated details & image for “The Truth About Christmas”
