IT'S YOURS FOR £9.00 POST FREE Phantoms of Venice------------------------------------------------------------ Venice... The byways of this city, unnamed narrow passageways and dark canals, dislocate the explorer from reality. There are strangely ephemeral sounds, snatches of music, odd cries, shadowy half-glimpsed figures passing over crumbling bridges. And perhaps some of those visitors are not simply tourists! Phantoms, serial killers, the possessed, plague victims and the devil incarnate join the throng of shades and monsters in 10 disturbing tales set in the world's most romantic city. Phantoms of Venice, Edited by David A. Sutton. Limited edition hardcover (200 copies printed). Stories by Brian Stableford, Peter Tremayne, Conrad Williams, Tim Lebbon & others WANT JUST THIS TITLE? IT'S YOURS FOR £17.00 POST FREE Worse Things Than Spiders------------------------------------------------------------ Samantha Lee can tell a great story, be it heart-rending horror or charming jokey fantasies, such as 'Take Five' and 'Scoop'. These will be a little light relief from the razor-edged terrors in other stories such as 'The Island of the Seals' and 'Nobody Thinks He's a Bad Guy'. She has a way of depicting torture and cruelty with a sharp eye on humanitarian issues. These are dark stories indeed, told with just the right dollop of horror to unnerve the reader. "Lee's work is impeccable, some of her ghoulish tales are only a few pages long, but all are exquisitely told". Worse Things Than Spiders, by Samantha Lee, ISBN 9780953903283 WANT JUST THIS TITLE?

Our next collection will be The Complete Short Stories of Elizabeth Walter (final title tba). The book will collect all of her 31 stories in one volume, from her five collections published in the 1960s and 70s, "Snowfall & Other Chilling Events", "The Sin Eater & Other Scientific Impossibilities", "Davy Jones's Tale & Other Supernatural Stories", "Come And Get Me & Other Uncanny Invitations" and "Dead Woman & Other Uncanny Encounters". My editor, Dave Brzeski has been very busy editing and proofing the manuscripts and finding a few snippets of biographical information about Elizabeth Walter to add to the rather paltry information that is already in the public domain. The book is due at the end of 2016. The image above is the cover design (by Stephen E. Fabian) of the Arkham House edition, "In the Mist", published in 1979. which is a sample of seven stories from her various collections.

That's great news - she was a good and highly original storyteller. Sadly too few people have read her stories. I eagerly await the book's publication.

I have been waiting for the Wade book forever! Announcements for The White Road and the Wade retrospective on the same day? Amazing! Mr. Happy Am especially pleased that this new incarnation of Shadow Publishing are now considering non-fiction. Maybe after Ro's book, Mr. Sutton might consider a compilation of his own writings or a Voices From Shadow II ?

At the moment it's looking like 46 pieces, ranging in date from 1985 to 2017 (I couldn't bear to see anything earlier than that reprinted!!!). They're from G&S, the G&S Newsletter, a variety of introductions and afterwords, and a miscellany of articles from my Everlasting Club zine, Lady Wardrop's Journal. All will be revised and updated, with extra material in some cases. This is the most enjoyable project I've tackled for ages!

To be honest, the novel I planned with that title has developed so far from my original idea that I've abandoned the title. No copyright on them, as you say! Not least The Hungry Moon!
