Crisp, Quentin S.: All God's Angels, Beware! 26885
Ex Occidente Press: Romania. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Collects ten stories: 336 pages. Karakasa is an Orientalist masquerade of decayed futurity. The Were-Sheep of Abercrave offers a shaggy-dog tale of such shagginess that its coat has been shaped into a bizarre topiary maze. Asking For It sketches a picture of sad singledom amongst the rootless of Tokyo. The Fox Wedding brings Far Eastern folklore to a modern setting, with some unpleasant surprises. Italiannetto is a sunny, nostalgic love story with Neapolitan style. In Troubled Joe, a ghost tethered to this world by chains of resentment searches for someone to hear his story. Mise en Abyme presents an escheresque trompe-l’aeil in prose, while in the stunning novella Ynys-y-Plag you will discover a weird tale in the tradition of Blackwood and Machen. In these and other stories, Crisp draws equally from East and West to create a vision of the macabre like nothing else in literature. Discover here fleurs du mal of hybrid decadence, whimsy, exoticism, gothickry, horror and beauty. Limited to 350 copies.
''the house of literary Romanticism has fallen into sad disrepair. Through its dusty passages are to be heard only the muffled, shivering voices of its ghosts, like the last lingering echoes of some forgotten passion in a lunatic asylum. It has been said that, in the grounds of this ruin, was a hothouse where Romanticism showed its last, grotesque bloom in the form of H. P. Lovecraft, since when the grey desolation of realism has swept over all in a fungoid blight. And yet, there remains a kind of life here, perhaps stranger still than previous blooms, in a weedy and overgrown flowerbed, under the name of Quentin S. Crisp. All God’s Angels, Beware!, the fourth collection of fiction from the contemporary British master of dementia, gathers together for the first time ten examples of Crisp’s own unique species of decayed Romanticism''.

Lane, Joel: The Terrible Changes. 25774
Ex Occidente Press: Romania. 2009.
First edition (& 1st printing).
From ''The Brand'' (written in 1983) to ''Alouette'' (written in 2008), these stories are selected from a quarter-century of writing. Twelve previously uncollected stories are reprinted from magazines and anthologies, bridging various strands of the weird fiction genre: urban horror tales, elegiac ghost stories, erotic reveries and psychological fugues. Two brief new tales offer different perspectives on the theme of mortality. Influences on these stories include Robert Aickman, John Metcalfe, Ramsey Campbell, M. John Harrison, Jean Genet, Sylvia Plath and Robert Smith. 300 copies printed.
''in midwinter, an aspiring politician finds himself suddenly deprived of human contact. A group of newcomers to a town are strangely reminiscent of people lost in a recent flood. In a world where grief is forbidden, a young man builds a mound to commemorate his lover. An obsessive reader of Poe enters the world of his idol's stories. Demonstrators on a peace march see the faces of sleeping children in the snow. A failed musician meets his own ancestors getting off a midnight train. Joel Lane's short stories combine the supernatural with themes of human loss, passion, solitude and despair. The complexity of the urban landscape provides a background to stories in which nothing can be relied upon. Ghosts and visions are an inevitable part of a reality where facts are uncertain, loyalties are divided, and the unknown is always close at hand. In Lane's fiction, the weird is a symbolic language that expresses the chilling beauty, sadness and mystery of real life''.
