Dr. Shade

"I'm plumbing additional channels, homing on signals from as far away as Hilversum and Macao. With each twiddle, the dish outside revolves like Jodrell Bank stock footage from the Quatermass serials. Lightning crackles above the garden, approximating a Karloff-Lugosi mad lab insert shot from the '30s.

Unimaginable images and sounds are pulled down from the skies. With the new reflectors, this satellite system can haul in not only everything being broadcast but anything that has ever been broadcast. Shows listed as lost or wiped are beaming out to Alpha Centauri; now those signals can be brought unscrambled back to Earth.

This is my creation. Fuelled by coffee-bags and custard creams, I have substantially made the system myself, like Rex Reason assembling the Interocitor in This Island Earth. It was an interesting technical exercise, jacking in all the signal-boosters and calibrating the dish to the minutest fraction. My redundancy money was well spent, despite what Ciaran said when she left for the last time.

I admit it's true: I could spend the rest of my life eating biscuits and watching repeats on television. There is so much to see, so much to discover..."

Some Notes on Richard Jeperson
Psychic investigator Richard Jeperson first appeared in plays and stories Kim Newman wrote as a schoolboy in the 1970s, which are mercifully lost to history. He revived the character in the story End of the Pier Show and has been adding to the canon off and on ever since. The bulk of the stories are set during Jeperson's paisley-drenched heyday, but Swellhead brings the series into the 21st Century and the hero out of enforced retirement. Here is the complete Jeperson bibliography to date:

End of the Pier Show (Dark of the Night, ed: Stephen Jones; Seven Stars); You Don't Have to Be Mad (White of the Moon, ed: Stephen Jones; Seven Stars, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Thirteenth Annual Collection, ed: Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling); The Biafran Bank Manager (Dark Detectives, ed: Stephen Jones; Seven Stars); Tomorrow Town (SciFi.com, ed: Ellen Datlow; Infinity Plus One, ed: Keith Brooke; Dead Travel Fast); Egyptian Avenue (Embrace the Mutation, ed. William Schafer and Bill Sheehan; Best New Horror, ed: Stephen Jones; The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Sixteenth Annual Collection, ed: Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling); Swellhead (Night Visions 11, ed: Bill Sheehan); Soho Golem (SciFi.com, ed: Ellen Datlow); The Serial Murders (SciFi.com, ed: Ellen Datlow); The Man Who Got Off the Ghost Train.

Also, in alternate time-lines: The Man on the Clapham Omnibus (The Second Time Out Book of London Short Stories, ed: Nicholas Royle) and Who Dares Wins: Anno Dracula 1980 (Kim Newman Web Site).
