Doubinsky, Sebastien: The Babylon Trilogy. 25518
PS Publishing: Harrogate. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Introduction by Moorcock. Trade hardcover.
''What could a depressed soldier, a bloodthirsty journalist, a strange dog, a writer in the making, a depressive commissioner, a hitman, a stripper and a poet possibly have in common? Well, they all live in Babylon, a city where everything is possible, including the impossible. The Babylonian Trilogy is a novel divided in three loosely related parts, each dealing with a particular aspect of the bizarre metropolis. In The Birth of Television according to Buddha, a collection of characters try to make some sense of their lives through the cacophony of a seemingly endless war in a far away place, crazed-fueled medias prepared to do anything for a good audience rating and a patchwork of cryptic messages told by a mysterious narrator. Commissioner Georg Ratner is the main character of Yellow Bull, a twisted crime fiction hommage in which a modern Jack the Ripper tries to bloodily gain his way to fame, The only problem is that Georg Ratner has other more important things on his mind than to catch him. Finally, three characters criss-cross each other in The Gardens of Babylon, trying to find their way out of the suffocating concrete labyrinth. Which they finally do, but not the way they expected''.

Ewers, Hanns Heinz: Alraune. 27798
Side Real Press: Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. 2010.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Translated from the German by Joe E. Bandel: 364 pages. Includes an introduction by Mark Samuels, the Mahlon Blaine illustrations from the 1929 John Day edition, plus the illustrations by Ilna Wunderwald Ewers (the author's wife) from the 1911 German edition. Limited to 350 numbered copies.
''German writer (1871-1943), spy in Mexico and the USA in World War I, and early member of the Nazi Party. Supermen predominate in his fiction, much of which remains untranslated. He is noted mainly for a series of novels about Frank Braun -- anthropologist and Ubermensch -- some of which are sf. The young hero of Der Zauberlehrling (1907; trans Ludwig Lewisohn as The Sorcerer's Apprentice 1927 US) hypnotizes his ''inferior'' Italian mistress into a spurious sainthood -- complete with stigmata -- which in the end he makes real by helping crucify her. In ALRAUNE (1911; trans S. Guy ENDORE 1929 US), which was filmed five times 1918-52, Braun uses artificial insemination to breed from the dregs of society - a sex criminal and a prostitute - the soulless eponymous female whose name reflects in German her likeness to a mandrake root, and whose vampirical powers prove almost fatal to him. In Vampir (1921; trans Fritz Sallagher as Vampire 1934 US; vt Vampire's Prey 1937 UK) Braun appears as a macabre alter ego of the author, spying in Mexico during World War I while at the same time becoming a vampire'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Farmer, Philip Jose: The Maker Of Universes. 00105
Phantasia Press. 1980.
First edition thus (& 1st printing).
Revised text. First volume in the ''World Of Tiers'' series of novels.
''the novels assembled as The World of Tiers show the author in a lighter vein, though the architectural elaborateness of the universe in which they are set prefigures Riverworld. The original volumes are The Maker of Universes (1965; rev 1980), The Gates of Creation (1966; rev 1981), A Private Cosmos (1968; rev 1981), Behind the Walls of Terra (1970; rev 1982) and The Lavalite World (1977; rev 1983). The sequence unfolds within a series of pocket universes, playgrounds built by the masters -- who are perhaps gods, originally humanoid -- whose technology is unimaginable. The most notable character is the present-day Earthman Paul Janus Finnegan (his initials, PJF, show that this ironic observer serves as a stand-in for the author: it is a signal repeated often in later work); he is also called Kickaha, under which significantly Native American name he acts out the role of a trickster hero indulging in merry, if bloodthirsty, exploits'' (David Pringle & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Goddard, Richard E.: The Whistling Ancestors. 28225
Ramble House/Dancing Tuatara Press: MS. 2010.
First edition thus (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Dancing Tuatara #2. First published in 1936: new introduction by series editor John Pelan. LIMITED EDITION: 100 copy hardcover edition with special tipped-in limitation sheet signed and numbered by John Pelan, available only for sale through COLD TONNAGE BOOKS.
''a poor sidewalk artist struggles to defeat a fiendish mastermind who is not only intent on world domination, but determined to kill all white people and for reasons that are never made entirely clear, wants to create nymphs, satyrs, and other Greek and Roman demigods through the miracle of vivisection! These characteristics alone would qualify Caspar Pettifranc to take his rightful place alongside John Sunlight, Wu Fang, Doctor Death and the other great villains of the American pulps, but Goddard doesn’t stop here. The author also makes Pettifranc a master of voodoo who thus can ring in zombies and the pantheon of loas. For reasons that the author allows to remain obscure, the loas are given to making odd whistling noises, hence the title of the book''.

''to propose that Michel Benni is a mystery man will be to understate the case: his history is not only hazy, but his behaviour suggests all manner of nefarious activities, and his apparent mental hold over people instills an immediate fear. As in a game of chess, the play begins?—?but are the rules governing both sides evenly stacked?''.

Hearn, Lafcadio: Nightmare-Touch. 27753
Tartarus Press: North Yorkshire. 2010.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Short story collection: edited and with an introduction by Paul A. Murray. ''His hobbies were fantastic. He knew all manner of odd things, dreadful things, uncanny things. He was purblind, and the shadow of a telegraph pole rose to him 'the shadow of a gigantic skeleton'. He studied Hoodooism [sic], witchcraft, etc. . . and knew all the horrible things about the old-time doings-frightful, barbaric, hideous punishments, etc.; and he knew some of the sweetest poetry in all tongues''. So wrote an acquaintance of prolific horror writer Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904). But in his writing Hearn was not concerned with achieving cheap thrills or titillation: horror was rather a means of expanding the boundaries of experience. He used his extensive knowledge of folklore and ancient beliefs and religions to challenge his readers, using horror to hint at spiritual realities beyond the grasp of contemporary materialism. 300 copies printed.

Irving, Washington: The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow And Other Stories. 26638
Tartarus Press: North Yorkshire. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
This volume is the first to assemble all of Washington Irving's short stories in the supernatural genre, and the impressive array of work on offer makes Irving a worthy pioneer of the American weird tradition. Perhaps best known for two tales steeped in early American legendry, 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow', Washington Irving emerges as the most distinguished American writer in the genre of the period following the early Gothic novels of 1764-1820 to Edgar Allan Poe in the 1840s. Born in New York in 1783, the young Irving practiced law and travelled widely in Europe, where many of his stories are set. Taking up journalism and then fiction, Irving remained devoted to his own country and was knowledgeable about the legends of the early Dutch settlers and Native Americans of the New York area. He was thus able to imbue the American weird story with its own supernatural milieu. The scope of Irving's weird writing is thus impressively wide-ranging, and it is, until now, only its scattered nature that has robbed him of the credit he deserves. 404 pages: introduction by S. T. Joshi and Bibliography by Richard Dalby. Limited to 300 hardcover copies.
''When first encountered, the publications of Tartarus Press seem almost as numinous as the supernatural tales they contain. The simple elegance of their presentation, hand-stitched hardback bindings jacketed in uniform cream covers with only minimal decoration, recall an earlier age when books were as rare and treasured as jewels. These are not commodities to be piled high on three-for-two tables, but rarities which remain hidden unless sought out . . . The stories hoarded in their pages are so little known you might be forgiven for wondering if you have dreamed them. The Triumph of Night and Other Tales by Edith Wharton. The Supernatural Tales of HG Wells. The Lost Poetry of William Hope Hodgson. And dozens of other titles by authors both famous and obscure which taken as a whole form a secret library, a catalogue of weird fiction from its roots in Victorian Britain through to the modern day.''

Parker, Rosalie (ed.): Strange Tales, Volume 111. 26924
Tartarus Press: North Yorkshire. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Third anthology or original stories: seventeen brand new stories, representing the very best of contemporary weirdness, range from the mythical terror of Adam Golaski's 'The Great Blind God Passing Through Us', to John Gaskin's assured ghost story, 'Party Talk', in which an elderly lady tells her disturbing tale. Circus folk take in an abandoned girl with unforeseen consequences in Nina Allen's Machenian 'The Lammas Worm,'. In 'Countess Otho', Reggie Oliver's actor protagonist finds success after he inherits the manuscript of an unproduced play: but what is the precise cause, and the price, of his new found fame? The curator of a dream museum has an interesting appointment in Mark Valentine's 'Morpheus House', while in 'Her Father's Daughter', Simon Strantzas thoroughly subverts the familiar horror trope of a young woman seeking help at an isolated farmhouse. 500 copies printed.

Reynolds, Alastair: Terminal World. 25513
Gollancz: London. 2010.
First edition (& 1st printing).
SIGNED AND DATED (April 4th 2010) BY THE AUTHOR AT TIME OF PUBLICATION.
''Spearpoint, the last human city, is an atmosphere-piercing spire of vast size. Clinging to its skin are the zones, a series of semi-autonomous city-states, each of which enjoys a different - and rigidly enforced - level of technology. Horsetown is pre-industrial; in Neon Heights they have television and electric trains . . . Following an infiltration mission that went tragically wrong, Quillon has been living incognito, working as a pathologist in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, Quillon's world is wrenched apart one more time, for the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels - and with the dying body comes bad news. If Quillon is to save his life, he must leave his home and journey into the cold and hostile lands beyond Spearpoint's base, starting an exile that will take him further than he could ever imagine. But there is far more at stake than just Quillon's own survival, for the limiting technologies of the zones are determined not by governments or police, but by the very nature of reality - and reality itself is showing worrying signs of instability''.

Shepard, Lucius: Viator Plus. 27764
PS Publishing: Harrogate. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Collects the title short novel and seven stories: 358 pages. Viator, a short novel (160 pages), Viator, is here published in its full, intended text for the first time, much expanded and revised from it's earlier (Nightshade) appearance.
''the title novel, Viator, is here published in its full, intended text for the first time, and is revealed as Shepard’s masterpiece of the decade. Five men of Swedish descent, drifters and drunks on the mend, are assigned to live aboard a derelict ship on the Alaskan coast, only to perceive that they are on the brink of a voyage beyond our world, one of beckoning glamour and incipient madness. Long sentences, alternately languorous and urgent, run moodily throughout the tale, in a feast of metaphoric language limning the perils of a soul caught between anchoring love and transcendent illusion.And other stories set out equally resonant crises of the conflicted psyche. A mine manager who knows his domain for the very image of Hell bids for redemption, or at least survival. A scriptwriter in Hollywood finds that false appearances exist not only in films. A veteran rock singer, the “Queen Mother”, confronts apparitions with muddled resolve. A town in Latin America witnesses abasements emblematic of the region’s poverty. A foolish man loses his lover and pursues her image to nowhere. And the emergence of a monster on an American beach is not at all what it seems''.

Sinclair, May: The Villa Desiree And Other Uncanny Stories. 25196
Ash-Tree Press. 2008.
First edition (& 1st printing).
May Sinclair (1863-1946) began writing the first of her 'uncanny stories', 'The Intercessor', in 1910, and it was published a year later, laying the way for the seventeen pieces collected in this volume. The stories are taken from three collections: Uncanny Stories (1923), Tales Told by Simpson (1930), and The Intercessor (1931). Here you will find tales of psychological terror, ghost stories in their more familiar form, and stories which reflect Sinclair's own deep thought processes. You will be chilled by the evil Louis Carson and the Villa Désirée; touched by the need of a child in 'The Intercessor'; alarmed that the events in 'Heaven' might be real; and relieved that the murdered victim of 'The Victim' actually didn't mind being murdered at all. The Villa Désirée and Other Uncanny Stories collects all of May Sinclair's supernatural, strange, and weird tales in one volume for the first time, and is complemented by Rebeccah Kinnamon Neff's detailed introduction. Contents: Introduction by Rebeccah Kinnamon Neff; Where Their Fire Is Not Quenched; The Token; The Flaw in the Crystal; The Nature of the Evidence; If the Dead Knew; The Victim; The Finding of the Absolute; 'Khaki'; Portrait of My Uncle; The Pictures; The Pin-Prick; The Bambino; The Mahatma's Story; Jones's Karma; Heaven; The Intercessor; The Villa Désirée. 232 pages. 400 copies printed.
