The website to Etruscan Books, run by Nicholas Johnson and publisher of B Catling's A Court of Miracles and Bobby Awl, appears off. The press does not appear on the Small Publishers Fair list either. etruscanbooks.com

Many happy returns to the Warlock Activist of Northampton, whose recent work include Illuminations, The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic (with Steve Moore), donating towards TWO community hubs, and The Great When, first in The Long London Quintet series.

La montaña hueca de B. Catling és una festassa de la imaginació: aventures criminals, intriga monàstica, bruixeria revolucionària, bestiari al·lucinant, duel erudit, abominacions religioses, invocacions pictòriques, realitats inconcebibles i moltes coses més!

This main character on cover of Ben Wickey's MORE WEIGHT has me in the region of familiar-face-I-can't-place. Am I just seeing things?

Brian Catling RA, born OTD. A successful sculptor, writer, poet, performer, painter & teacher, he left his mark in each of those areas and a legacy constantly ripe for rediscovery. 📸Anne-Katrin Purkiss

Great evening with @racheldelman.bsky.social and @stoneclub.bsky.social at @soanemuseum.bsky.social last night for Fragments and Ruins. An unfolding labyrinth of stony wonder introduced by the magical words of the late, great Brian Catling. Thank you to all!

Esto va a ser increíble. @aristasmartinez.bsky.social, Catling y Javier Calvo.

«Brian Catling se sumerge de lleno en las visiones de El Bosco y Brueghel el Viejo para ofrecernos una lectura tan deslumbrante como imaginativa».

Octubre.
