You may have heard me raving about The Twelve, the sequel to Justin Cronin’s genuinely brilliant “post-apocalyptic 100 years in the future roaming bands of humans vampire” thing The Passage.

Read the 1000 pages of the first book in a couple of days a few years ago sitting in the sun outside a house I was renting in Kerry, have spent the intervening time wondering if the new one was out yet.

It’s out in all good bookshops tomorrow.

Easons, knowing my love sent it to me in a package. I love them. That is all.

If you’re a bookseller/publisher that ever fancies sending me something new for my almost legendary “to be read” pile, you know where I am…

*ahem*
