Three New Limited Editions Announced — Connie Willis, Joe R. Lansdale, and Brian Lumley
We’ve just added three brand new books to our schedule.
The Winds of Marble Arch and Other Stories is a mammoth (600+ pages) collection of the best of Connie Willis’s short stories, with classics like “All My Darling Daughters”, “Fire Watch,” the title story, mixed in with obscurities such as “Cash Crop,” and “The Soul Selects Her Own Society…” And that’s just in the Trade Hardcover Edition ($40). The Limited ($125) and Lettered ($250) Editions each feature an additional section with Connie’s first published screwball comedy (”Capra Corn”), an unsettling tale, “Substitution Trick,” never before collected, and a full bibliography not only of Connie’s short stories and novels, but the legendary “confessions” stories she penned in the 1970s, never fully listed until now.
The second new title is a major new collection of horror, mystery and suspense, The Shadows, Kith and Kin, by SubPress favorite Joe R. Lansdale. The special treat in this collection, in addition to the Mark A. Nelson illustrated version of Joe’s children’s classic gone awry, “Bill, the Little Steam Shovel,” is the reapparance of Reverand Rains, hero of Lansdale’s ultimate cult novel, Dead in the West. Together, these two tales — one of them original to the book — total more than 25,000 words. There’s enough here for Lansdale fanatics and newcomers alike, bargain priced for a signed edition at $35.
Last on the new book list is Brian Lumley’s most sought after title, A Coven of Vampires. We’re planning to reproduce the text inside faithfully, with Bob Eggleton’s worldbeater cover, as well as some brand new spot illustrations, and a chapbook of Lumley rarities. We’ve seen copies of the original edition of Coven go for over $300 on auction sites, so our new signed edition is a steal at only $35.
