Black Static #46 has just gone out the door and off to the printers, or at least it will do shortly if it hasn't already, so here I am to whet your appetite for what's to come by revealing the full contents of the Case Notes book review section of this issue.

Here's what we've got for you:-

EVERYTHING SWARMING AROUND US: RALPH ROBERT MOORE

A review of Ghosters, the latest book from Ralph Robert Moore, who also has a story in this issue, plus a substantial interview with writer.

H. P. LOVECRAFT: THE MAN AND HIS MONSTERS

A review of Paul Roland's biography The Curious Case of H. P. Lovecraft, and of six HPL novellas recently released in special editions by PS Publishing, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and At the Mountains of Madness, all of which come with introductions by S. T. Joshi and illustrations from Pete Von Sholly, plus other bonus material.

DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES

Reviews of I. N. J. Culbard's graphic novel adaptation of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Starry Wisdom Library edited by Nate Pedersen, Whispers From the Abyss edited by Kat Rocha, Amanda Downum's novel Dreams of Shreds & Tatters, and Donald Tyson's The Lovecraft Coven.

CRAWLING DOWN THE YEARS

Reviews of That Is Not Dead edited by Darrell Schweitzer, and Whispers in the Dark edited by Scott Harrison.

In case you haven't been paying attention, apart from the feature on Ralph Robert Moore, everything in this issue is Lovecraft related. I read a lot of books with this issue in mind, but despite my best efforts to keep the word count down we ran out of space and not everything could be included. Some titles will be held back for a future issue and, time allowing, I'll post reviews of some of the others to this blog, so May is officially declared Cthulhu Month here at Case Notes.

This issue there were fifteen titles reviewed in all, with two of them either written or edited by women, which takes our totals for the year so far to fifty one titles reviewed and twelve of them with a female byline (24%).

That compares with sixty four books received for review so far this year, seventeen of them with a female byline (27%), though I'm expecting that figure to go down when I post a new 'Books Received' update at the end of the week.
