A Dangerous Meeting: In the Shadows with Mercyful Fate is my updated, expanded and somewhat rewritten update on the celebrated earlier version of this book, available in four languages besides English. It’s my song-by-song, album-per-chapter book looking at the exemplary catalogue of King Diamond’s devilish original band, from Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath in the ‘80s to a vastly under-rated run of top-shelf reunion records in the ‘90s. The King Diamond catalogue gets a more informal look-in along the way, but yeah, most of this is about the hard, spooky work that went into one of the classiest metal catalogues of all time.

It’s over 100,000 words of Canuck obscurity, but it also include Philip Kamin and Scott Feeney photos of this Canadian treasure.

Lights Out: Surviving the ‘70s with UFO is my new book examining the Mick Bolton era of UFO, through to the end of the classic Michael Schenker years, namely the Strangers in the Night live album.

This one was particularly fun to do as the Tonka era is my favourite.

It’s the 256-page (on premium cream stock) follow-up to hit title Flaming Telepaths: Imaginos Expanded and Specified, same number of illustrations, twice as conspiratorial and occulted and ten times weirder. Even my drawings are creepier.
