Hope y'all enjoy the latest offering of Schlock!

We've got a few treats in store for all you Schlock! fans. The return of Millicent 'Mad Dog' McGuire and her highland warrior Dougal the Wanderer. C Priest Brumley's story On The Subject of Funerals reaches a gory conclusion. An excellent episode of Super Duper in which matters come very much to a head. And meanwhile, in David Christopher's dystopian political thriller State of Emergency, art continues to stay one step ahead of nature.

Consternation was evident in the secret underground base of Schlock! Webzine this week after someone glanced through the papers. As all you State of Emergency fans may remember, a couple of weeks ago the government was introducing curfews in the central London area to stem the recent tide of rioting and anti-social behaviour. This week in politics (the real world we try so desperately to avoid down here in the Schlock! bunker) UK home secretary Theresa May was suggesting exactly that - the reintroduction of curfews during times of civil disturbance.

We called Mr Christopher into the bunker for an emergency meeting. Under a modicum of duress, he stated:

'I am unaware of possessing precognitive powers.

'Furthermore, I wrote much of my novel several years ago, before the current regime rose to power. I want it on record that my fictitious character Susan Verlaine, home secretary in SoE has absolutely no connection with any real home secretaries living, dead, or assassinated, particularly not Theresa May. In fact, Verlaine owes rather more to the Blake's 7 villainess Supreme Commander Servalan. With just a smidgen of Davros... '

So there we have it. Before Theresa May serves Schlock! Webzine with a high court injunction, STATE OF EMERGENCY is a work of fiction. Its topicality, relevance to the current political situation and any similarities between its plot and current affairs in the UK or elsewhere are purely coincidental.

Honest.

Hope that'll get us off the hook. Don't want to spend another night in the cells.

Cheers
