Condizione: Trade paperback, New. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2022. Trade paperback, New, 219 pp. "In The Nightfarers, you will discover the secret of a remote Lincolnshire island, visit the last official of a seventeenth century company of explorers, and watch for the light from a Moorish heliograph tower. You'll encounter a book that speaks for itself, books that aren't quite books, and a rare book that really draws you in. There's also the reincarnation of a decadent occult detective and another, reluctant sleuth who investigates an unusual printing press. Other stories are set in the afterglow of old Empires in interwar Europe, in the same milieu as the author's work in Secret Europe and Inner Europe (shared volumes with John Howard). They depict apocalyptic dawns, strange faiths, the stare of stone masks, a Prague actuary, an astrologer in Trieste, a scholar of lost languages. This new edition of The Nightfarers, the first for over ten years, includes twelve of the original stories and adds two more from the same period.".…

Condizione: Trade paperback, New. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2018. Trade paperback, New, 338 pp. "Joel always intended to collect these essays in a book to be entitled This Spectacular Darkness, a quotation from the poet Edwin Morgan, whose work he admired. This cannot be that book: but it brings together all the essays he was able to write in the series. Joel writes in his essay, 'This Spectacular Darkness', '. . . it was essential to ask new questions about human nature and our place in the world. Horror fiction was . . . an attempt to generate new myths-or a new kind of imagination-that could deal with . . . new realities.' And few have understood and explored these new myths and realities with the deep understanding that he goes on to demonstrate. Also collected here are essays Joel wrote for other publications, including studies of Ramsey Campbell, Robert Bloch and Nyarlathotep. The volume is completed by appreciations of Joel's essays, poetry, short stories and novels.".…

Condizione: Trade paperback, New. Leyburn: Tartarus Press:, 2023. Trade paperback, New, 309 pp. This trade paperback comes in two edition: one with a dust jacket and one without. This is the one without a jacket. . "Literary Hauntings identifies and describes the real-life locations that have inspired the best fictional ghost stories of Britain and Ireland. Notable examples are the Suffolk beach where M.R. James set his terrifying ' 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad' ', and the ruins of the Scottish mansion featured in Margaret Oliphant's classic 'The Open Door'. This comprehensive gazetteer, consisting of 267 entries by experts and exponents in the genre, identifies the building in Dublin that inspired Joseph Le Fanu's story 'The House by the Churchyard', and the canals where Elizabeth Jane Howard's eerie 'Three Miles Up' is set. Both classic and contemporary ghost stories are included. Literary Hauntings is designed to help readers track down landscapes, monuments, cities, towns and villages that have haunted writers of ghost stories for at least the last two hundred years. The gazetteer is also a celebration of the insight and craft that goes into writing a really good ghost story, a genre that is still sometimes overlooked today.".…

Condizione: Trade paperback, New. Leyburn: Tartarus Press:, 2020. Trade paperback, New, 170 pp. "These nine tales represent the sum total of American writer Edna Underwood's foray into the decadent and supernatural. Best known for her historical novels and her translations, Underwood was born in Maine in 1873. A gifted linguist, she read widely in European literature, and lost her first teaching job because of her propensity to read decadent, yellow-bound books. Few are aware of Edna Underwood's solitary collection of short fiction, A Book of Dear Dead Women (1911), and even fewer of the excellent long horror story 'An Orchid of Asia', reprinted here for the first time since its appearance in Asia magazine in 1920.".…

Condizione: Trade paperback, New. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2022. Trade paperback, New, 234 pp. "This new collection of short and some longer stories by Mark Valentine explores 'the Real Map of England', the strange corners of a haunted country. Why is there a Roman altar to the god of the crossroads in a Herefordshire church? What is the significance of a book of tide tables and a shack on the Lincolnshire coast? What is it that waves from a motorway bridge? Where are the 'veiled republics', the citadels of an alternative history? What happens when children enact a ritual in the overgrown fig garden? These beguiling stories evoke the possibility that there are places where we may encounter another reality, rich, mysterious, sometimes alluring, sometimes perilous. Two of the stories are previously unpublished: others have appeared in anthologies that are now out of print or in periodicals in small editions. The author provides an afterword explaining the inspiration for the book.".…

Condizione: Trade paperback, New. Leyburn: Tartarus Press:, 2022. Trade paperback, New, 203 pp. "In 1920 a young man, Walter Murray, spent a year in a derelict cottage, Copsford, working in lonely countryside among the wild animals and birds, with only a dog, Floss, for companionship. From the beginning, Murray has to fight not only the rats that infest his inhospitable house, and the elements outside, but also a loneliness that he finds soul-shatteringly oppressive. But Murray comes to delight in his simple life, despite its deprivations. Above all, he appreciates the wildlife he experiences in meadow and woodland, the animals and insects, birds and butterflies. And he comes to a deeper understanding of plants and trees, the sun, wind, rain, frost and snow. Copsford is an under-appreciated classic of the English countryside, delighting not only in flora and fauna, but in scent, colour, sound and movement. In beautiful and sensitive prose Murray expresses a vivid depth of feeling for nature that makes Copsford a tour de force of nature mysticism. This new edition also contains Murray's essay, 'Voices of Trees'.".…
