Put aside your pre-occupations, and prepare to focus your attention. Hal Duncan's 'Ink' is here to articulate the ineffable, to build with words worlds that cannot otherwise be imagined.

Two years ago, would you really have imagined seeing your name on the cover of Interzone?
Above that of M John Harrison?
Enjoy!
I can beat Paul in the "who would have thought..." There's a so-so Ballads of the Book review (which doesn't even mention you but... who would have thought two years ago that your album would be getting reviewed in Mojo next to the new Stooges album.
It's kinda cool, I must say.
To put it mildly.
