Bunch, David: Moderan. 12621
Avon: NY. 1971.
First edition (& 1st printing).

''much of his sf work was assembled as MODERAN (collection of linked stories 1971), a series of short, narratively deranged, fable-like tales which describe in satirical terms a radically technologized future world where, after a nuclear holocaust, humans have been transformed into cyborgs, the surface of the world is plastic, and thought and action are both solipsistic and deeply melancholy. The book's portrait of a manufactured humanity works as an arraignment of the late-20th-century slide into speed-lined rootlessness, and demonstrate his heterodoxy in the world of sf'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

''Sigurd has a fabulous but frightening future predicted: even to start, he must leave everything he knows to go and fight a dragon, and from there descend into the Underworld. Sounds bad enough, but when you know that the dragon lives on a futuristic, industrially-ruined moonscape that was once Hampstead Heath, the scene is set for a staggeringly brutal fight on an epic scale. Unhappily for him, he meets the love of his life in the underworld, and Sigurd's efforts to rescue his lover will cause huge heartache and grief for both of them, and also far everyone who ever meets them''.

Prior to 1910 it had featured sf and fantasy serials and short stories by Frank Aubrey, James Branch Cabell, William Wallace Cook, Howard R. Garis, George Griffith and others. Its sf output slackened during the first half of the next decade, but picked up on becoming a weekly. publishing sf with many works by authors later to appear in the SF magazines, notably EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS, Ray Cummings, Ralph Milne Farley, Otis Adelbert Kline, and A.

An opium-infused apocalyptic vision from the legendary author of Naked Lunch is the first of the trilogy with The Places of the Dead Roads and his final novel, The Western Plains''. In Pringle, Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels #75. Uncommon.
''much concerned with the abuses of power, Burroughs uses addiction as an all-embracing metaphor for the ways in which our lives are controlled. He has also brought into luridly exemplary perspective many sf metaphors; e.g., the ''Nova Mob'', galactic gangsters who are taking over our planet. Images of space travel and ''biomorphic horror'' (J.G. Ballard's phrase) abound. Later work has retained the corrosiveness of the worldview, but in narrations that verge, with some irony, towards the conventional. Port of Saints (1973 Switzerland; rev 1980 US), CITIES OF THE RED NIGHT(1981) and The Place of Dead Roads (1984) can together be thought of as a kind of trilogy in which the genres of the West miscegenate, breed, and descry the road ahead'' (David Pringle & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Butler, Octavier E.: Clay's Ark. 23141
St. Martin's Press: NY. 1984.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Fourth published (though first in chronological order) novel in the Patternist sf series, following: Patternmaster (1976), Mind of my Mind (1977), Survivor (1978) and Wild Seed (1980). An uncommon edition (especially in superior condition).
''WILD SEED, which begins in 1690, demonstrates the very considerable strength of the author's imagination in being a prequel manifestly more interesting than much of the material it adumbrates. The setting is Africa. A 4000-year-old body-changer, Doro, who has been long engaged on a breeding programme designed to produce a race of superior humans with whom he can feel at home, selects for this purpose the ''wild seed'' shape-changer Anwanyu; their graphically ambivalent relationship is described in terms which potently evoke reflections on everything from family romance and sex and feminism to slavery itself. Doro and his son both breed with Anwanyu, and found with her a sanctuary in New England and later in Louisiana where her mutant children can grow to adulthood. MIND OF MY MIND, set in contemporary California, focuses on the formal founding of the Patternist gestalt community, which begins to articulate itself into the hierarchical social organism of the final (though first-written) tale. SURVIVOR takes place in a moderately distant future when Earth has become dominated by Patternists, whose hierarchies conflate family ties and a range of psi powers into a complex whole. The novel depicts a conflict between star-travelling ''mutes'' -- normal humans -- and the alien inhabitants of the planet to which, in a kind of missionary endeavour, they have been sent. CLAY'S ARK, set on Earth, depicts a conflict between those humans who have been transfigured by an extraterrestrial virus into intensely aggressive monsters and those, Patternist and mute, who have not been infected; an odour of plague invests the extraordinarily savage telling of this tale. In PATTERNMASTER - published first, but last in the series chronology - , Clayarks and Patternists continue what has become an age-long conflict, now brought to a head by a family dispute as to the proper inheritor of the role of Patternmaster: the one who wins will exercise paranormal control over the entire scene, making a Heaven or a Hell with his or her one voice. The strength of the Patternist books lies not in the sometimes routine premises laid down in the first published volume but in the author's capacity to inhabit her venues with characters whose often anguished lives strike the reader as anything but frivolous'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket, but for just a little creasing and wear at several points along the edges.

Butler, Octavier E.: Wild Seed. 28754
Sidgwick & Jackson: London. 1980.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Part of the Patternmaster sf series. Uncommon British hardcover.
''US writer who who made no impact on the sf field until the first appearance of tales in the Patternist series: Patternmaster (1976), Mind of my Mind (1977), Survivor (1978), WILD SEED (1980) and Clay's Ark (1984). The order of publication has little to do with internal chronology; indeed, the first volume published (Patternmaster) stands last in a sequence that runs from the late 17th century into the far future. The strength of the Patternist books lies not in the sometimes routine premises laid down in the first published volume but in the author's capacity to inhabit her venues with characters whose often anguished lives strike the reader as anything but frivolous'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Cabell, James Branch: Jurgen: A Comedy Of Justice. 32045
Bodley Head: London. 1949.
16th printing.
Hardcover.
Fantasy novel, part of a long series, first published in 1919, (and revised 1921): introduction by Hugh Walpole.
''his best-known works lie within the lengthy sequence Biography of the Life of Manuel - not a tautology, as the ''life'' of the hero Manuel, supposed redeemer of the imaginary land of Poictesme, is traced through descendants to the then contemporary USA. JURGEN (1919, rev 1921) is a central work, partly as perhaps his most fully achieved blend of characteristic irony, allusion, erudition, censor-teasing and creative joy, but also for its effect on his career. Its 1920 banning, instigated by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, was ostensibly for ''obscene'' double-entendres (the hero's sword, staff, sceptre, etc., are much admired by ladies in equivocal situations) but, as emerged in court, was also a reaction to satire on religion. After years of being admired by a select audience that had included Mark Twain, Cabell became and remained the highly notorious ''author of Jurgen''. (The obscenity case was tried and the publishers acquitted in 1922.). Jurgen himself is a middle-aged poet-turned-pawnbroker who, having capriciously praised evil, is rewarded by Koshchei (maker of this Universe) with the disappearance of his harridan wife. Reluctant search for her leads Jurgen on a year-long adventure: first on centaur-back to the Garden Between Dawn and Sunrise where imaginary beings live, including all lovers' versions of their objects of desire; and onward to encounter the many-named goddess Sereda, who is also Cybele and who, outrageously flattered by Jurgen, gives him renewed youth together with a Shadow - her own - which takes notes on his doings'' (David Langford/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).
Page edges and endpapers spotted, an almost fine copy in a near fine dustjacket with a little browning along the spine panel.

As Byrd's metamorphoses recur, Cadnum explores his character's psyche as man and beast with prose that demands savoring, even as it hurtles the reader toward a series of suspenseful climaxes. Like Anne Rice's vampire novels, Cadnum reforms a hackneyed theme into something magical and memorable'' (Library Journal).

''Stratton Fields, a member of a distinguished San Francisco family, has a vision for how this world can be made a more perfect place. His affection for children and desire to carry on his family's tradition of philanthropy have won him both admiration and love. On the surface he appears to have everything a man could want. But his life is a web of secrets. The family fortune has dissipated during his mother's slide into madness. His brother Rick is a charming weakling plagued with debts. And Stratton himself is seething over his lack of recognition as an architect and over a creeping fear of powerlessness. When Stratton is visited by what he thinks are the powers of darkness, he reluctantly accepts their help. To his amazement and growing horror, a bargain begun in anger grows into a desperate struggle as a cycle of mystifying violence draws ever closer to the people he loves. Stratton is forced to find the courage to confront what must be his own madness, his own responsibility for the terrifying deaths of those who blocked his career and of those he loved''.

Calder, Richard: Dead Girls. 00820
HarperCollins: London. 1992.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
The author's first book.
''his first two novels--Dead Girls and Dead Boys (1994)--mix horror and sf in depicting a world which has been transformed by nanotechnology into an over-heated, inordinately complex dazzlement of an environment. Dead Girls centres on a ''nanotech doll'' or gynoid who generates an AIDs-like disease in the humans she bloodsucks for their genes, and is herself invasively disrupted by a bio-weapon ''dust'' which scrambles the fractal programmes that enable her to operate. The novel continues with excursions into the ''cyberspace'' within her deranged brain, and much else; it is funny, ornately erotic, and frequently inspired. Dead Boys, perhaps less sustainedly, continues the examination of a not-unlikely 21st century'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF). ''It's the 21st century and ''Dead Girls'' have become the hunted. Half-human, half-gynoid, they know no refuge--and to love one is something far more deadly. For Ignatz, Dead Girl Primavera is the ultimate seduction. But now, Primavera is infected with the magic dust. With her powers ebbing, a descent into necropolis of Bangkok's Big Weird is their last hope''.

''this new novella occupies a category of its own, depicting a nightmarish odyssey through a strangely distorted suburban landscape, as a novelist desperately tries to reassure himself that he hasn't simply imagined his entire career. The images are disturbingly inventive, but in the end the novella's harrowing, delusionary pointlessness is so like a bad dream that the reader just wishes it would end'' (Publishers Weekly).
