I can't remember where, but Steve has said that he's got an idea for the next Vlad novel, and I believe he said something about after the Viscount books. Although, it sounds like he's got some other projects he's thinking about or working on right now, so who knows. And I agree, I'd love to see a post-Issola novel, but I won't be picky. Any Vlad story is a good one! Chris "Life is the nightmare that leaves its mark upon you in order to prove that it is, in fact, real." -Thomas Ligotti- 'The Sect of the Idiot'
