I have to agree with you, the Japanese do seem to have some very cool monsters. Thanks for sharing this stuff. It will inevitably keep me entertained for a bit. Isn’t the internet great?

Sarah: Pretty much the only way I’ve found podcasts I actually want to listen to is by other people mentioning them on the internet – I’ve tried actively searching new ones out through more scattergun means, and it’s one of those areas of life where it turns out you really need some kind of personal recommendation to sort the wheat from the chaff … So I like to mention a few now and again as a sort of payback. Plus I think it’s one of the most interesting and successful of all recent applications of internet technology, and I like to demonstrate I’ve got my finger on the pulse of the 21st century. Man.

I just started Winterbirth last night and realized I couldn’t live with myself unless I found your webpage and explored it. Your blog is great, by the way, as is your book. Also, thanks for the podcast links. I’m always looking for good podcasts to listen to but somehow I always suck at finding them…

Thanks, Allan. Always good to hear from someone who’s having fun with the books. It’s like popping a little pill of motivation.

Thanks, Simon. I wouldn’t totally rule out future Gazetteer action, but it’s been a while since I had my head in that particular space, and as you imply there’s no chance whatsoever of it happening until the new book is completely done: I’m mentally very much in 19th century Edinburgh rather than the Godless World at the moment. We’ll see what happens after that, though.

Good to see the website back up and running. Any chance of some gazetteer action in the coming months (presumably after completion of the new book)? I rather liked the little bits you put in there for the Godless World, they really help flesh out a world in a way that can’t be done in the books themselves for fear of becoming waffley!

Re: "Hmmm ... you seem to share a name with the nakedest of the Naked Scientists, the impresario Dr Chris Smith himself. Coincidence? Or do I have a (naked) interweb celebrity haunting my blog ...?"

It is indeed me; my comment was actually intended as tongue in cheek and as a joke. Sorry - I should have been more obvious!

I came across your blog a little while ago so it was quite funny when our material ended up being mentioned in it. Thanks. I'm touched.

Thanks for the heads up on the "100 Objects" series.

I'm always looking for something to listen to during my morning commute, and this is perfect!
