Back up on the rocky road, I now have @DublinBookFest & @gutterbookshop to thank for the opportunity to add @JFennellAuthor's latest book to my collection of genre-based anthologies. In a way, it's a full circle moment from this year's "Frankestein vs Alien" @Octocon panel, too!

[Octocon @Octocon]

More #Octobooks in the wild! This time at Chapters, Parnell Street! Tame these wild books and give them a good home!

A wild #Octobook appeared! #Octobooks relate to books and authors who have been guests/members at #Octocon! These were hibernating at @DubrayBooks at Henry Street, Dublin, awaiting a new home.
