I can't find a specific Sarob Press thread so I'll start one now. The next Sarob book (circa June) looks especially exciting: a new collection from Peter Bell, with six of the ten stories previously unpublished. Peter is one of the best writers I know for creating a sense of place. sarobpress.blogspot.co.ukThe Autumn Sarob book will be A Ghosts & Scholars Book of Folk Horror, to be followed by... well, one of you knows exactly what it is...!

I've got Peter Bell's book pre-ordered. Hugely excited by that, as I'm a great fan of Peter's work. I have his other Sarob books, but I'm still kicking myself that I missed his Swan River Press collection, Strange Epiphanies, and I can't even begin to justify the current asking price for a second hand edition.
As it is, I'm just about to get started on the current Sarob Press publication, Waiting In The Shadows by Katherine Haynes. And I've a few other titles waiting to be read, by Michael Chislett and Ron Weighell. Having taken a break from reading ghost stories for a few weeks (yes, it occasionally happens) has set me back.

Peter Bell's book, Revenants & Maledictions, has just arrived. I think I've already read all the four reprints (including the lovely "Blackberry Time" from the third G&S Book of Shadows), but the six new stories are all new to me. Greatly looking forward to reading those this weekend before passing the book on (with eye tracks!) to the G&S reviewer. Apparently only 25 copies remain, so folk should get their orders in quickly if they haven't already.

Anxiously awaiting this one as his other three collections were excellent. While I am a huge fan of Tartarus, Swan River, Side Real, Egaeus, PS, Sundial and many others, I think Robert Morgan's Sarob Press might hold the title of Mr. Happy's favorite publisher. Particularly since their 2010 "rebirth". Their releases just press the right buttons with me. Can't wait to order The G&S Book of Folk Horror.
Mr. Happy

That is, as ever, a fantastic cover by Mr Lowe. Tremendously excited about this one!

The latest Sarob Blog post reveals that copies of A Ghost & Scholars Book of Folk Horror are printed and will be going out shortly, and also reveals the author of the next Sarob collection which should, hopefully, be out in time to provide a selection of Ghost Stories for Christmas. Very exciting news... though I may be a little biased there... sarobpress.blogspot.com/2018/09/a-ghosts-scholars-book-of-folk-horror.html

I'm very encouraged to see that there are fewer than a dozen copies left already. And of course, very excited about the Christmas book (I have the advantage that you let me read most of the stories in advance, so I know how good they are).

Congratulations, Ro and Lurkio! Have a feeling both volumes will very soon be as collectable as the elusive The Satyr Books of Ghost Stories.

And of course, very excited about the Christmas book (I have the advantage that you let me read most of the stories in advance, so I know how good they are). I'm hugely looking forward to the G&S book, and I should just finish off reading the Sarob edition of The White Road by the time it arrives. I'm delighted to be able to mention the Christmas book (not that it's Christmas themed) as you and Rob Morgan are the only people I've so far discussed it with, the odd hint here and there aside. The stories have mostly had a polish and shine since you were kind enough to read them and give me your very valuable feedback, Ro, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished book, and adding it to my ever expanding Sarob Press library.

The book is already less than a dozen copies short of being declared OP?
I am happy for your success--but am I the only one distressed at the thought of a book being in print for such a short time? Particularly one that is of the quality shown in this one?
Congratulations, Steve

I do see your point completely, but on the other hand I appreciate Rob's reasons for his choice of print-run.
