Here's a little bit of news.

We can now ship to the Republic of Ireland again!

We've done a couple of tests over the last few months, and because books are 0% VAT there, we can send with minimal disruption.

Tell your (Irish) friends!

I'll be bringing some of my HDK and Library of the Occult releases on cassette and CD, if you're interested in some *very* limited edition stories and soundtracks
I do have some on vinyl too, but I probably wont bring them (unless anyone *really* wants me too).
