March 2002 Catalog - Horror
* PIGGS: SHORT NOVEL SERIES #5 by Neal Barrett, Jr. - Sunterranean Press HC. Fifth of the Subterranean Short Novel series. If Jack hadn't screwed up a no-brainer holdup in Amarillo he wouldn't have ended up in the Huntsville pen, and sure as hell wouldn't be washing dishes in a dump like Wan's. But at least it's next door to Piggs, where Jack's beloved, Gloria Mundi, takes it all off every night. Now all he needs is a couple of hundred grand to take her away from all this - and fouling up a drug deal, killing the dealers, stealing a car and getting out of town seems like a great plan.

* ALGERNON BLACKWOOD: AN EXTRAODINARY LIFE by Algernon Blackwood: Mike Ashley - Carroll & Graf HC.

This well-researched biography of his life also goes into the other aspects of his life: he originated The Starlight Express, he was a member of magical order of the Golden Dawn and he was aquainted with most of the literary and artistic establishment of his day, from Hilaire Belloc to Arthur Machen, from Sinclair Lewis to H. G. Wells. ...$28.00

Editor Hugh Lamb has collected together the finest of their weird tales, adding several stories to those which he had assembled for the ill-fated Millington volume of 1981 (which he discusses in the appendix). ... $45.00

And some things from last month that are still available or that we've restocked on:
BEASTS OF BRAHM by Mark Hansom - Midnight House HC. An eerie mystery that blends the genres of the whodunit with supernatural horror. (OK, I fess up - this one hasn't arrived yet, but we're expecting it today or tomorrow - long before you'll get this catalog. Hard to do a good write-up, though.) No - wait - it just came in, so moments before the catalog rolls out of here... Originally published in 1937, briefly reprinted in 1940, this book has been virtually unobtainable until now. The first of a series of books that Midnight House will be doing to bring the work of Mark Hansom back into print. I found the extensive introduction by John Pelan almost as engaging as the novel itself, quite the feat for a novel judged to be even better than Henson's lauded classic THE SHADOW ON THE HOUSE. 201 pages, limited to 450 numbered copies. ... $40.00
THE RETURN OF THE SOUL AND OTHER STORIES by Robert Hichens - Midnight House HC. The first of a two book set that collects together all of this prolific mystery author's supernatural tales, many being gathered from obscure and difficult sources. This volume has eight stories, including Dorothy Sayer's choice for her anthology OMNIBUS OF CRIME: "How Love Came to Professor Guildea". With an excellent introduction by S. T. Joshi. 316 pages, limited to 450 numbered copies. ... $40.00

Limited to 600 numbered copies, Signed by the Author. No Discount. ...$40.00
