The end has come for Yen Press‘ magazine Yen Plus. Well; one end, a type of end anyway as the publisher is (wisely, perhaps) putting a stop to the print magazine in favour of an online only model. Yen Plus is two years old and has had some success. It was the vehicle by which […]

The Search for WondLa teaser
The Spiderwock Chronicles did awfully well. The books were popular. There was a movie. Sure; it wasn’t Harry Potter but certainly Tony DiTerlizzis is a big name now (if you’ll excuse the joke!).

The movie’s not out yet – and rumour suggests its quite different from Cressida Cowell‘s book – so we can only speculate on what Spitelout’s roll may be. Some point out that Snoutlout is the main Viking and so Spitelout […]
