Cinema Futura/Plague of the Daleks
Cinema Futura, the science-fiction follow-up to the British Fantasy Award winning Cinema Macabre, will be published by PS Publishing in September 2010. The book, edited by me, will contain 60 essays by an all-new line-up of genre afficionados, each of whom will spend 1000 words or so gushing about a favourite science-fiction movie.
I'm delighted to report that the anthology is now closed to submissions and that I'm now at liberty to reveal the final line-up of contributors and movies. I'm thrilled with the response I've had to the project, and - as with Cinema Macabre - I think you'll agree that the anthology has managed to attract a pretty stunning roll-call of genre names.

From book news to audio news, and my forthcoming 4-part Doctor Who audio drama from Big Finish has undergone a title change, from Village of the Damned to Plague of the Daleks. I can't tell you how exciting it is to have written proper Dalek dialogue for Mr Dalek himself, Nicholas Briggs. Although I was there for the recording of the audio, I haven't heard the final version with sound effects, music etc yet. And neither, in fact, have I heard Nick do 'my' Daleks, because he became a father for the first time a day or two before the recording dates and so went into studio to do all his dialogue a couple of weeks later.
Anyway, here's the stunning cover:

Even when there's only one of them, a Dalek still constitutes a plague. An actual plague of Daleks sounds really scary! I look forward to having a listen in due course.
Looking forward to Cinema Futura next Fall. Killer line-up of contributors with some interesting film selections.
Can't wait to hear Plague of the Daleks.
