HDP9: the plumbing one…

by | Apr 4, 2022 | News

If Volume 8 took a while to hit the shelves, Volume 9 took even longer. Scheduled originally for a pre-Christmas release, then a January/February 2022 release, it finally burst into life just in time to launch at Sci-Fi Scarborough in April.

Coming out of the pandemic was far more complicated than a simple return to normal, and pulling together the new batch of stories was further complicated by the slightly tricky ‘plumbing’ issue. Without explaining in long, drawn-out detail (that’ll take a rum or two), we had way too much excitement and enthusiasm for the plumbing/plumbers theme, but not quite enough stories to make a stand alone special… so we decided on a compromise. Volume 9 but with a plumbing theme threading through most but not all stories, and in the end, it was actually a lot of fun to put together.
