The Mask and Other Stories by Herbert van Thal

[noose]

Noose and Gibbet Publishing (2010)

CONTENTS:


INTRODUCTION

THE MASK
VARIATIONS ON A THEME:
i CHILD PERFORMER
ii SUMMER IDYLL
THE OLD LADY MAKES A CUP OF TEA

ESSAY: RECIPE FOR READING
APPENDIX

I'll be publishing Herbert van Thal's 'lost' collection of short stories sometime next month. Originally called 'Child Performer' - I've moved the contents around, added the essay which was originally published as a stand alone book and the appendicies will be several introductions to books that van Thal has edited in the past. This and the biography which is being reprinted by Screaming Dreams this September will see my van Thal studies and research come to an end, so have made THE MASK as completist as possible.

[David A. Riley]

You will have completed a monumental task on Van Thal by the time all these have been published, a fitting tribute to the Pan Horror series that played such an important part in many of our literary lives. An amazing achievement!

A major contribution to the genre Johnny. Amazing stuff.

cheers Craig - this one is certainly a labour of love - the scanner broke down so I'm having to TYPE EVERYTHING BY HAND!
