£20.00 [$32.00]
Jacketed Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-84863035-2

Synopsis / Contents:

In this, his seventh major collection, Lucius Shepard is as magisterial in narration and darkly eloquent in style as ever. The stories gathered here conduct the reader from the wastelands of the near future to the zoned-out bacchanals of Hollywood, from the fevered bordellos of Central America to the hallucinated revels of redneck country, from the broken hearts of wandering loners to alluring fantasy realms just beyond the threshold of perception. And when the journey is over, eternal contrasts--of man and woman, bosses and workers, responsibility and escape, conformity and freedom--stand in more powerful definition than ever before...

Hardcover

Synopsis / Contents:

It is an undeniable truth: give evil a name and everyone's happy. Give it two names and . . . why, they're even happier.

The intrepid necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, scourges of civilization, raisers of the dead, reapers of the souls of the living, devourers of hope, betrayers of faith, slayers of the innocent and modest personifications of evil, have a lot to answer for and answer they will. Known as the Nehemoth, they are pursued by countless self-professed defenders of decency, sanity and civilization. After all, since when does evil thrive unchallenged? Well, often: but not this time.

Cast a Cold Eye [hc]
novella by Derryl Murphy & William Shunn
publication date: December 2009
£12.00 [$19.20]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-906301-89-7

Synopsis / Contents:

1921. Rural Nebraska. In a region devastated by Spanish flu, where not a single life has gone unscathed by tragedy, 15-year-old Luke Bryant has lost more than most. Orphaned, Luke toils as a farmhand for his strict uncle and aunt, barely recalling a world not gray, deadening, and oppressive. Worse, he can't so much as visit the graves of his parents without the statues in the cemetery opening their stony eyes and watching his every move.
Enter Annabelle Tupper, itinerant spirit photographer. Half-blinded by the chemicals of her trade, she travels the countryside in pursuit of the ghost of her dead husband. When a local pastor arranges for Annabelle to take on the boy as an apprentice, both find their every belief turned upside-down. For Annabelle, eking out a bare living while trying not to be run out of town as a charlatan, Luke represents a power she can only dream of. But for Luke-reluctant, resentful, and increasingly violent-the older woman stands for every nightmare that haunts his waking hours.

As more and more restless spirits converge on the unblinking eye of Annabelle's camera, Luke's only hope for peace will be to confront the most terrifying specters of all-the ones he carries inside.

Reunion [hc]
novella by Rick Hautala
publication date: December 2009
£12.00 [$19.20]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-84863-029-1

Synopsis / Contents:

A Night of Summer Magic

It's the end of August. Summer's almost over, and the carefree time of a young boy's summer vacation is rapidly and inexorably slipping away from him.

With his first day of junior high school looming ever closer, thirteen-year-old Jackie Stone and his best friend, Chris Hooper, want to make the most of their freedom. They have one last Saturday night to camp out in the tent in Jackie's backyard one last night to goof off in ways only two thirteen-year-old boys can.

But as much as Jackie wants to go along with his friend's idea of what would be "fun," he is filled with unaccountable apprehension. He senses that something is wrong. He has a uncanny feeling this may be the last night-ever-that he and Chris will fool around like this.

A high school class is having its fortieth class reunion at the local country club. Chris pressures Jackie to sneak out of the tent with him and go across town to "spy" on the party. He wants to get as close as they can close enough so they can steal some of the food and, if they're lucky, maybe even grab a bottle or two of beer.

But as the boys are creeping around in the woods, confident that no one at the reunion knows they're lurking out there in the darkness, someone does know they're there. A man chases after them and in the simple act of confronting Jackie will change Jackie's life-and his own-in ways neither of them can begin to comprehend.

Because, unlike any other night of the year, this summer night is imbued with mystery and magic and danger, and it is fraught with implications that no thirteen-year-old can possibly begin to understand.

Tonight, this reunion will mark Jackie Stone and change him forever.

collection by Uncle River
publication date: November 2009
£20.00 [$32.00]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1906301-41-5

Synopsis / Contents:

These stories, wise, witty, and offbeat takes on the stranger "what-ifs" of human nature, come from the pen of Uncle River, hermit and occasional prophet of the SF world. Conceived in the sparsely populated American Mountain Southwest, where loners, rugged individualists, and small, eccentric communities live close to Nature and formulate alternative, sometimes surreal codes of existence, River's tales are narratives of laconic power, visionary yet saturated with the colors and sounds of real places, real people, the dreamers of New Mexico...

novel by Ramsey Campbell
publication date: September 2009
£20.00 [$32.00]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-84863-041-3

Synopsis / Contents:

The calls on the radio are all about tunnels. Someone whose grandfather was involved in digging the first of the pair that take roads under the river says attempts were made to block up the excavations. The bosses accused the workmen of trying to prolong the job, but some of her grandfather's colleagues insisted the tunnel had been blocked from within. The wife of a worker at the sorting office on Copperas Hill reveals that the postmen are loath to use the tunnel that links the office to Lime Street Station. Perhaps it's a tale to frighten new recruits, since the veterans say the lights in the tunnel sometimes fail, unless they're switched off as a prank, at which point you may realise you have company that doesn't need to see you to find you, because you'll hear its whisper in your ear before you encounter its wet flabby touch. The construction of the offices unearthed coffins lined with lead. A ticket collector rings to talk about the underground railway, a loop of which passes beneath the centre of Liverpool, starting and returning at the bottom of the street the castle used to dominate. All the tunnels leak, and the loop has to be closed every spring while rails corroded by salt water are replaced. The employee says he's been told by contractors that they've heard intruders running or rather sloshing ahead of them in the dark, even in sections of the tunnels where there's no water underfoot…

They were longer than he didn't know how many trees stuck together, and their hands were as big as the roots of an old tree, and he was standing on top of two of the fingers. Then the giant's eyes began to open like boulders rolling about in the mud, and its mouth opened like a cave and sent up a laugh in a bubble that spattered the boy with mud, and the stones he was on started to move apart..."

Johnny Gregson moved to the country to enjoy the quiet of his twilight years, but it seems he's got two problems. The first is the roadkill. His neighbor-Hill "Scratch" Clayton-is the second.

Scratch is a hard-edged old man and a creature of habit. He mows his lawn at first light every morning, and the sound of the John Deere's engine always wakes Johnny and his wife from their brittle sleep. Come winter the ride-on mower is replaced by Scratch's snowblower. Johnny tries to reason with him, but Scratch is set in his ways. There is no compassion in his soul.

Grazing the Long Acre [hc]
collection by Gwyneth Jones
publication date: Sept 2009
£20.00 [$32.00]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-906301-55-2

Synopsis / Contents:

Gwyneth Jones’s novels have been acclaimed for three decades, and her modern fairytales Seven Tales And A Fable won two World Fantasy Awards in 1996.
And now we have Grazing the Long Acre, the first UK collection of her short fiction.
Some of the stories selected, including the BSFA award-winning 'La Cenerentola', have been anthologised; several have never before been reprinted. The earliest here 'The Eastern Succession' was written in 1985, the most recent 'In The Forest Of The Queen' in 2007.
The settings range from a lyrical, Zelazny-influenced far-future South East Asia, to black comedy sci-fi in the New Space Opera style. There are ghosts and miracles, magical science and scientific magic; characters from novels, investigations of sexual difference, speculations on a future in which physics and neuroscience move into convergence, interrogations of our fascination with the other.
Gwyneth Jones’s capacity to move and astonish the reader is undimmed, when distilled into the shorter form.

Familiar folk reappear shortly afterward, all wearing concealing sunglasses and gloves and driven by malignant alien motives revealed when they descend en masse upon the terrified foursome . . .

A strange light has removed all but a handful of people from Earth and, one day later, returned the tiniest fraction of them. But these 'new' people are different.

And they can kill just by the touch of their bare hands...

Everland and Other Stories [hc]
collection by Paul Witcover
publication date: March 2009
£20.00 [$32.00]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1906301477

Synopsis / Contents:

In the quarter century since the publication of his first short story, "Red Shift," Paul Witcover has slowly but steadily produced an impressive body of short fiction alongside his critically acclaimed novels, Waking Beauty, Tumbling After, and Dracula: Asylum. Fusing elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and fairy tales, Witcover's work inhabits the borderlands of genre. Everland collects twelve of his best stories, seven previously published, including the Nebula Award finalist "Left of the Dial," and five appearing here for the first time, including the title story, which does not so much reimagine as reinvent J. M. Barrie's classic tale of a boy who never grew up.

colllection by Zoran Živkovic
publication date: May 2009
£20.00 [$32.00]
Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1905834365

Synopsis / Contents:

THE WRITER

Where does all the writing come from? Is it divine inspiration, a bolt of lightning that reveals a whole new work in a single glimpse, or a unique gift granted by demonic forces to penetrate the darkness and see beyond it?

THE BOOK

The Book is not quite a novel, although almost half of it takes the form of a narrative, neither is it an essay, although quite a lot of what is said in it adopts that style. It is actually closest to that rare type or "para-genre" of satirical prose embodied in the exemplary In Praise of Folly by the famous humanist from Rotterdam.

THE READER

In this suite of eight stories, the three ages of woman "youth, midlife and senescence" engage in a complex and fruitful dance.

Hardcover
ISBN: 978-1906301378

Synopsis / Contents:

Brett Stokes is already middle-aged and yet feels that his life has not begun. In an attempt to make sense of his existence he travels to the provincial town of Otani in Japan, hoping that, through his writing, he will obtain the insight that he lacks. But in Japan it is late autumn and, closeted within the garden of the lately widowed Mrs Kunisada, the motley collection of arboreal reds and yellows works upon Stokes' imagination, until reality itself becomes spectral. As the strange season unfolds, and Stokes meditates upon the meaning of life, death and literature, the power of the Shrike gradually takes centre-stage.

In this startling novella Quentin S. Crisp fuses delicacy with darkness and pathos with terror, creating a blend of Japanese and English literature that is as deeply moving as it is unique.
