"You Got The Money, I Got The Soul. Can't Be Bought, Can't Be Sold!" Greetings, y'all, to another From The North bloggerisationism update in the house, dearest blog fiends. Coming to you, as t'were, live and...

From The North bloggerisationism update in the area, dear Bsky fiends. Get it whilst it's hot (or, at least, lukewarm), it may be the last for a bit as I've got this book to write, see (he said, fishing for sympathy ... and sales).

Publishers choice. They really like it. Actually, so do I (wasn't too sure about the green lettering at first, but it's grown on me!).

Keith Telly Topping, why are you taking ANOTHER day off from writing your latest world-class tome to meet up with Young Malcolm for an afternoon of food, fun and frivolity? To which, of course, the answer - as usual - is that we both (but, especially me) REALLY DESERVE THIS. Clear now?

The incoming of the latest set of page-proofs for Island of Terror has arrived, hotfoot, from Stately Telos Manor.

Ladies, gentlemen, it's been an emotional rip-roaring rollercoaster of a ride.

Island of Terror (A Guide to 60 Great British SF and Fantasy Movies From 1936 – 1984) – PRE ORDER – Telos Publishing

Available for pre-order. I've got a growing DVD/Blu-ray collection and a salt and chilli king prawn with curry and boiled rice addiction to support and fund.
Plug ends, just buy the fekker, it'd mean a lot to me!
Thank you for allowing me into your homes.

Contract signed - so ... hands up who'd like to see/read this - the 3rd part of the Vault of Horror tetralogy? Because - a likely change of title, notwithstanding - once I write it, you will be able to. On Telos Publishing, sometime in 2026. Latest hideous self-aggrandising plug ends.

Today's "I will not celebrate meaningless milestones" column. From The North's had its 15-millionth page-hit since records began (2006). Meaning, one dear fiend has been visiting the blog for 19 years in the hope of finding porn. Sorry for the numerous bitter disappointments, whomsoever you are.

Current Premier League standings according to the FA website. Another disappointing season for Man United and (especially) Spurs, seemingly. Shock first title for Bournemouth, Brentford in the Champions League, Burnley in Europe and Sunderland manage to avoid relegation - who would've guessed?

Island of Terror editing: Day 1.
Your author has reached THIS, significant, point -
Pg 242 and a, hopefully thoughtful and intelligent, appreciation of the guest-starring role of Valerie Gearon's knickers in the climactic scene of Invasion. It's a dirty job, but SOMEONE has to do it.

One from the Stately Telly Topping Manor files; circa 1981(ish) so I'd've been 18 or thereabouts. Is this THE campest Mod y'every did see in all yer actual? Check out the eye-liner for a kick-off! Hell, it was the 1980s, strange doings abounded. And the drums never ceased at night.

He was, indeed, the musical director. And he claims, to this day, that the most money he ever made from his music was "writing" a five-second outro for a prog rock/OGWT parody on another Baker-fronted show which kept him, nicely, in horror videos for a few months!
