The Tricky Genre Press is delighted to announce the publication of jjhudsson’s latest EPUB novella, No 3. Hobbes’ Lane—the second in his series of uncanny tales, ‘Foretellings’.
Poetic lies n’ sense
Has jjhudsson gone soft in the head? Is he ill? Could it be that he is in love? How else are we to explain that an apparently ordinary man should suddenly go all Wordsworth on us? We thought it high time to give our readers an explanation.
Sika Tarn
This week at The Tricky Genre Press we have been putting the final touches to jjhudsson's latest work of weird and uncanny fiction, Sika Tarn.
Notes & Queries on Other Places
If you've read jjhudsson’s philosophical parable, Other Places Which Also Are The World’s End, then you'll probably want to know about the Lighterman-Nebrasov portal.
UNWGIT, Undone
Unless you happen to be Wikileaks, it is generally inadvisable to publish a top-secret Government minute, especially if it comes from the United Nations and is stamped with the word ‘Restricted’.
Tricky Words: a Primer
Can you eat Palangats? Some of the blogs we have posted about jjhudsson’s latest EPUB ‘Other Places Which Also Are the World’s End’ contain a few ‘tricky words’. Here is your own abridged glossary to help you wile away those sleepless nights.

Biblio-mythology
The staff of the Tricky Genre Press have been wrestling with an editorial problem. How do you refer to a book that has never been written? Our solution: make-up a new word!
Nea-LY, but not quite
In this post we look at some of the marginalia found as we deciphered the MS of jjhudsson’s recent EPUB novel, Other Places Which Also Are the World’s End.
Trick of the tale
The Tricky Genre Press is delighted to announce the e-publication of jjhudsson's novel, Other Places Which Also Are the World's End . Read how an egg, T.S. Eliot and an Icelandic takeaway unlock the mysteries of the tale, and also give our Press its name.
Message in a bottle
Part 2 of our series of ‘recently re/dis-covered’ Horthólary archive is a real gem. It is a letter, or note, in Horthólary’s own hand, addressed to Félix Gélis, the young Sénéchal of Pessane.
A Leaf out of a book
A recent tidy-up around the Tricky Genre Press uncovered two ‘lost’ autographs belonging to Horthólary. In the first of two blogs we look at each.
Tomb it may concern
We were delighted to receive a letter all the way from the Weekday Islands, requesting a photograph of the tombstone of Professor Horthólary.
The Maps of Maladie
jjhudsson likes to work off real maps. He says that unless he has that authentic, vintage, crinkly-paper feel he can’t write about a place authentically.
Cover Story
We’re excited to have received the first set of covers for the updated Horthólary series - The Lays of Maladie.
Who is Horthólary?
This is a question we are often asked. We’re working on jjhudsson to add a short preface to the Lays of Maladie collection. In the meantime, heres’ a potted biography.
