"If he faked his own suicide, then he seems to have gone about it in a remarkably clumsy and counterproductive way."

As if that would come as a surprise to anyone.

If he faked his own suicide, then he seems to have gone about it in a remarkably clumsy and counterproductive way. I'm certainly glad he's still alive, but I'll be reserving judgement until more facts appear.

Blog post about our recent trip to Sunderland and meet-up with Bryan Talbot (who's one of the Special Guests at Fantasycon this year!). Includes some photos of the sculpture trail that Chaz Brenchley was involved with.

Hi Willie,

I enjoyed your story in the last 'Nemonymous' and I'd love to read some more of your stuff, but I'm spoiled for choice. Would you care to recommend any of your books as the best introduction to 'The World of Meikle'? (This may, of course, be like asking a parent to choose amongst their own children.)

All that shows is that someone is using Dagstine's account on Facebook, which we already knew.

Dagstine's brother has posted on Facebook that he did take an overdose, but is currently in hospital, alive. Whether that's true or not, obviously I don't know.

On Brian Keene's site: http://www.briankeene.com./

Which is the last I intend for now to say on this subject. I've probably wasted more time than Dagstine deserves.

Oh, he may well have announced his own death as a joke - I don't doubt that. It's the kind of clumsy stunt he would think was funny. I just don't think the stuff about reselling stories would "force" him into it.

Looks like that is the case, though, Stephen, especially as someone has already mentioned knowing he was emailing this morning.

If I'm wrong I apologise. If I'm not, I suggest he be banned from our site.

He does have a deserved reputation for telling lies online in the past.

Check out further developments on Shocklines, on which a posting of mine, of Ramsey Campbell and Brian keene have all been deleted by an over-protective webmaster.

I remember him banging on about reselling his stories over and over on Whispers of Wickedness years back, and talking about it on his blog. He would hardly fake his own death to avoid facing the music on that, just because one magazine noticed and got annoyed about it. He's had a mob following him around the internet for years - two or three more villagers with flaming torches at the back wouldn't make much of a difference to him.

If he has killed himself, it'll be nothing to do with those shenanigans, which I think are all just a game to him, but to do with his family situation. I hope he hasn't, though.

There's a possible explanation for all this on Shocklines:
