Masques and Citadels: More Tales of the Connoisseur Synopsis: CONTENTS: The Hesperian Dragon/ The Lighting of the Vial/ The Nephoseum, or, The Play of Shadows/ Sea Citadels/ The Prince of Barlocco/ The Black Eros/ Mad Lutanist/ The Mist on the Mere/ The White Solander (with John Howard)/ The Last Archipelago (with John Howard)/ Acknowledgements. REVIEWS: "A storyteller of impressive originality, Valentine writes with discipline and a deep understanding of the uncanny. A stunning Performance." - Underworlds Magazine "There is a sort of gradual, cumulative unease which draws one on to read the tales a second or third time . . . the connoisseur of good books and good reading will appreciate The Connoisseur" - John Hall, Sherlock "What a splendidly quixotic aim: to restore a sense of the numinous to run-down secular old Britain.Its long been a tenet of mine that all the finest writers of the supernatural seek, in some way or another, to restore to the material world some sense of the numinous. Some do it by subtly warping ones perception of the world till it more closely matches their own (Robert Aickman); some do it by capturing perfectly the genius loci of a particular place (Ramsey Campbells Merseyside); others (like Arthur Machen, Alan Garner, and our own Mr V), seek to re-energise the old touchstones of myth and magic. Its a measure of his success, I think, that Mark Valentines name does not seem wholly out of place even in this exalted company." - Steve Duffy, All Hallows "It is possible to be too subtle and 'recondite'. " - Prism "Mark Valentine is surely one of the best writers working in the genre." - David Longhorn, Supernatural Tales. Language: eng. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Limited Edition. Limited to only 400 copies, 110pp with endpapers - SOLD OUT Almost five years have passed since we last heard anything from that monarch of dim visions and recondite Mysteries, The Connoisseur. There were whispers of a long planed retreat in the sun stricken Mithraic caves of Cappadocia. Or was it to a mysterious and unnamed Coptic monastery in Alexandria? Others sustained The Connoisseur was captured by a group of Armenian ether drinkers, somewhere in an unknown village in Prussia. Something about a terrible "black ikon" was mentioned. A year ago, the author himself claimed that The Connoisseur was dying. Confronted with such contradictory, ambiguous and indeed - uneasy information, we decided to find out the truth on our own. We are pleased to say we have good news. The Connoisseur is alive and sends his august regards. For proof, we have three new long tales to infirm all rumors. Enter through one carved door, and you are in a lost domain, an English enclave with its own rights and privileges, the sanctuary of an ancient and holy lineage, at the start of a strange quest that leads to the Black Sea and beyond. The fissure in another wall reveals a garden cinema, built in the New Egyptian style for a curious purpose, where visions of the future are not only seen on film. A third entrance leads to the hidden manufactory of an esoteric incense-maker, who deals in lichen and mummy dust, yew-berries and rare resins: has he the craft to undo the oldest, gravest curse of them all? And what is the significance of the red elephant and the ruined abbey? Mark Valentine & John Howard offer here three new excellent episodes from the casebook of the aesthetical occult detective, The Connoisseur, whose adventures have been described as "curious and wonderful" and "shot through with authentically fin-de-siècle gleams of decadence". Four further stories complete the collection. What is the significance of the shining coin found by a churchyard wall, and how does it involve two adepts of the Imperial Exploration Service? Here, a simple talisman opens up remarkable possibilities. What is the secret of Prince Zaleski and what exactly was the role of the Herb Committees during the War? And what if a great Edwardian artist of the macabre really had illustrated the keynote book of verses by the young and fervent poet of Samarkand? In this final tale, as with the other six, we are led to see singular visions that do not quite stay on the page. The Rite of Trebizond and Other Tales is a sewn hardcover book with illustrated and laminate boards (no dustwrapper) of 110 pages with endpapers and a full-color frontispiece (Six-winged Seraph by Mikhail Vrubel). Edition limited to 400 copies. "The book is a pleasure to handle and have on one's shelf. The quality of the prose is outstanding and the curious atmospheres and moods generated, highly original. This is what I look for: a distinct voice and point of view, an insight like no other. That is what you will find here." Reggie Oliver. "I couldn't put it down. In fact, that's my only criticism - there should be more of it!" Rosemary Pardoe, Ghosts and Scholars."Everyone needs a copy of this book. It's as simple as that. Buy one today!"Steve Duffy. "Mark Valentine is surely one of the best writers working in the genre."David Longhorn. "The prose is luxurious and extravagant, evoking Huysmans, Wilde, The Yellow Book and, perhaps, Shiel. One looks instinctively for Beardsley illustrations." David G. Rowlands "Mark Valentine, guru of all things literary!"Callum James "Certain themes of the Connoisseur canon remind me of Heard's powerful stories of mystical horror and ecstasy (Dromenon, The Chapel of Ease and The Cup). But whereas Heard sometimes undermines his tales through excessive length and a didacticism that brings the reader out of the carefully invoked awe and into the tutorial room, Mark Valentine & John Howard somehow manage with remarkable brevity to bring the numinous into the top floor.
