Holdstock's Avilion arrived today!

AvilionToday is a great day. My copy of Avilion (signed by the man himself) arrived in the post - this is the direct sequel (in terms of timeline) to Robert Holdstock's outstanding novel, Mythago Wood. It's not often I get really excited by new releases but consider me well and truly excited. First though, it's time to re-read Mythago Wood - it's been far too long between visits to Ryhope Wood.

A review is on the way.
