I have hundreds of pictures I would have liked to include in “Midnight In Chernobyl” but only limited space. So I’ll post a few of them here, starting with images from before the accident.

Here's the infamous Ferris wheel in Pripyat, due to open for the first time as part of the celebrations for the May holidays in 1986. (Petr Vyhovsky/Pripyat-city.ru)

Here's a view of the city of Pripyat from the river, showing the white sand beaches and the Rakete hydrofoil, which provided daily service to and from Kiev (Vitaly Kozlov/Pripyat-city.ru)

This is the view of Pripyat looking northeast, with the power plant three kilometers away on the horizon. Unit Four is the closest of the plant's reactors to the city perimeter (Nikolay Belekhov/Pripyat-city.ru)

Here is a thread about what it is really like to be part of a small independent publisher, both the good and the bad.

It is going to be a massive thread, I warn you in advance.

And before I kick off, I want to point out that when I mention the bad stuff it is not meant as a complaint. We know the score, and knew it from the outset, I just wanted to share the reality with you as I think you'll find it interesting.

For the past couple of years I have been acquiring and helping to publish fiction and non-fiction for Eye & Lightning Books, sister imprints that have a 20-year history between them.
