New, unread, a brilliant collectable special edition in a slipcase and with a special jacket. Mark Twain meets classic Stephen King--a bold new direction for widely acclaimed Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale. May Lynn was once a pretty girl who dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star. Now she's dead, her body dredged up from the Sabine River. Sue Ellen, May Lynn's strong-willed teenage friend, sets out to dig up May Lynn's body, burn it to ash, and take those ashes to Hollywood to spread around. If May Lynn can't become a star, then at least her ashes will end up in the land of her dreams. Along with her friends Terry and Jinx and her alcoholic mother, Sue Ellen steals a raft and heads downriver to carry May Lynn's remains to Hollywood. Only problem is, Sue Ellen has some stolen money that her enemies will do anything to get back. And what looks like a prime opportunity to escape from a worthless life will instead lead to disastrous consequences. In the end, Sue Ellen will learn a harsh lesson on just how hard growing up can really be. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Limited Edition. A gorgeous and very rare edition, sumptuously bound in leather and cloth, printed on special paper with sewn signatures, numbered and signed. This is number 82 of only 200 copies offered for sale in 1951, and with a grand looking broody photograph of the author as the frontispiece. This great messy novel was cut by about a third at the editors behest, so although this cannot ever be regarded as the true author text it is nonetheless an important Powys collectable. The binding and care that has been taken ensures this will last for centuries. This copy has been used a bit, the marbled endpapers are very slightly grubby, and there are some minor wrinkles to a few text pages. But this curiosity survives all complaint for the true Powysian; it is somehow reflective of the author that it ever achieved publication in this form at all. It is a true first edition, and with the brilliantly emphatic signature sprawling across the limitation page, in bluest Quink ink, this bleeding chunk of a masterpiece has a very special allure.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Limited Edition. VERY RARE DOUBLE SIGNED copy of this sought after book. NUMBER 46 OF ONLY 122 COPIES! Possibly the only copy listed on the internet. This Hermetic Legislature is a tribute to Bruno Schulz and the third such homage volume from Ex Occidente Press. At the end of a curious parallel track of imagination the Twentieth Century is frozen by the memory of early spring snows, the lascivious gaze of tradesmen, dark July nights and the chatter of exotic birds. Every face in the crowd is as still as a travelling waxwork exhibit. It is an Age of Genius writ in crumbing ledgers and announced in the margins of charlatans advertisements. Everywhere the agony and ecstasy of its times may be read. Upon every mouldering wall there is a rich mural of creation and beneath every glittering plastic jewel of technology hides an ancient fermentation. In each shop window, with its teetering mannequins, a universe of magical forms unfolds a pageant of infinite life begging to be rewritten, to live again! 1.

Russell 18. My Heretical Existence by Mark Samuels This Hermetic Legislature: A Homage to Bruno Schulz is a sewn hardcover book with endpapers, a full-colour frontispiece and a dust-jacket. Edition limited to 100 copies but most are un-numbered, typical of this publisher. Extremely hard to find such a perfect unread copy of this elusive book. In a protected jacket. Magnificent binding. This is truly a sought after esoteric rarity, made even more desirable because of the two signatures on the title page. TRULY RARE. Language: eng. Signed by Author.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Limited Edition. Number 19 of 251 copies, long sold out and enormously sought after. SIGNED by Gaiman and the artist. Known for his infinite attention-to-detail in his stories as well as any other undertaking, Neil Gaiman never disappoints. Here he offers up a limited edition broadside titled "Eight Rules for Writing," printed in a strict edition of 251 copies (this being #34) on a Vandercook SP15 proof press. The paper is 10" x 22" Stonehenge Rising white 250gm with a deckle edge on the top and bottom edges. The inks used were Van Son and Hostmann & Steinberg oil based and rubber based inks and overprint varnish. The typefaces were carved by hand out of birch faced plywood and battleship linoleum. The artwork was created by engraving on the endgrain of maple wood and carving battleship linoleum that was mounted onto 3/4" plywood. Five impressions (individual times the paper was hand fed through the press) were made for each color, accounting for over 1,500 impressions including proof and set-up sheets used in the registration process. Two tones of black were used in the printing of the ravens. The top ravens are in red black and the bottom ravens in charcoal black. The text color was hand mixed using a variety of inks including a silver-based letterpress ink. There are eight ravens pictured in the broadside. Six of them are in black and two are embossed into the paper making them almost invisible. This is intentional. Two of the qualities of good writing are almost always invisible. As Gaiman notes, "Just because we cannot name them doesn't mean they are not there working in the background." Brilliant. The raven as a symbol for the author and the task of writing extends beyond the obvious comparison to Poe and his poem of the same name. The raven's intelligence is possibly its most wondrous feature considering that these birds can be trained to speak. "Nevermore" was the ominous word spoken by the raven forever haunting Edgar Allan Poe. The raven is often heard to caw a sound that resembles "cras" The word cras is tomorrow in Latin and that is what most writers struggle withputting off what they could do today until tomorrow. The raven is both a warning and an inspiration. The raven's symbolism also embodies wisdom and knowledge. All these things are useful to writers who are honing their craft. In Norse mythology the god Odin has two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, that serve as his eyes and ears. Huginn represents thought, while Muninn symbolizes memorythey are constantly advising Odin and he heeds their advice. Both of the attributes of memory and thought are necessary for good writing. There are many more things that link the raven to writing, but part of the fun of the broadside is to leave some of the mystery for discovery by others. Language: eng Language: eng. Signed by Author.…
