    Summary

    December 31st 2001

    New Year’s Resolutions:
    1. STOP SMOKING!
    2. Get a better job so no longer have to dread social functions.
    3. Enter into nice respectable relationship with nice respectable man; see above.
    4. Develop interesting hobby as talking point in the event of failure on points 2 and 3 – anything to avoid being introduced as Edwin Payne who had a nervous breakdown after two terms at Cambridge, holds a pissant little job at a publishing house of no significance or renown and couldn’t catch a man with both hands and a bear trap. Will be 32 years old this year, for heaven’s sake. Feel strongly that now is the moment to take charge of my life. At the stroke of midnight tonight, the year 2002 shall begin, and I shall be a new and improved Edwin Payne.

    Summary

    An extract from the Cryptozoological Society’s quarterly newsletter, issue 588:

    I reached out to Edwin Payne earlier this week in the hope that he might be prevailed upon to share some of his great great great grandfather’s personal diaries, so we could perhaps organise some readings. When I eventually succeeded in making contact, he said, “How in god’s name did you get this number? Bugger off and leave me alone, I’m terribly busy.” Assuming this to be nothing more than the famous Payne family sense of humour in action, I naturally called back, but haven’t yet managed to get hold of him again. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that you will all join me in wishing the very best of luck to Edwin and to Charles Rowland, who are currently preparing to mount an expedition to look for evidence of the Lambton Worm early in the new year.

    Summary

    “Edwin, don’t say it.” Charles groans, keeping his voice low and hushed.

    Edwin strains against the rope infused with just enough iron to make them solid, but not enough to hurt beyond a light-sting, and tries to catch a glimpse of whatever this witch is doing around the corner. God, he hates dealing with witches.

    “I told you this would happen,” Edwin replies, smug and sing-songy. They may be hopelessly trapped and seconds away from being subjected to some new horror, but at least he was right.
