This first take on the beloved classic — so much the same, so very different — is now available to readers for the first time, with an introduction and commentary by the author.

From Booklist:
“Beagle’s modern fantasy classic, The Last Unicorn (1968), didn’t come easily. He stalled on the first draft, returning to the concept only after a cross-country motor-scooter trip and his book about it, I See by My Outfit (1965). While the first draft opens the same as the novel, the principal characters other than the unicorn are different. Thank heavens, though, that he persevered and now publishes this funny, darkly winsome fragment.”

We’ve taken what we consider one of the best fantasy stories of the last decade, Joe Hill’s “Pop Art,” and cut crazed artist Gahan Wilson loose. He contributed a cover and two full-page black and white interiors.

The softcover version of the chapbook will be limited to 150 copies, and only available as a bonus item with the hardcover of Subterranean #6, but we’re also offering a lettered edition for sale, which is now Sold Out.

Lettered: 52 hardcover chapbooks, signed by the author: Sold Out

Simon, the legendary editor of The Necronomicon, returns with Dead Names, his first book in decades, an in-depth look at The Necronomicon and its effect on popular culture.

The signed, limited edition of Dead Names will be available in both Limited and Lettered Editions, the latter being our most lavish production ever. Books signed by Simon are incredibly rare and expensive — we’ve seen copies of the Limited Edition of The Necronomicon offered for as much as $2000.

The Subterranean Press edition is the only hardcover edition currently planned.

The latest dark fantasy novella, The Seven Whistlers, by the acclaimed duo responsible for The Ghosts of Albion tales is in stock and shipping. Once again, we’ve done this book old-school style, with no dust jacket but gold foil stamping on the spine and front.

Legends say that on stormy nights, or on sunsets, there sometimes comes a strange whistling noise in the sky, followed by sightings of enormous black dogs. But these are no ordinary dogs. They are demonic things, hounds loose from the Wild Hunt, and they are searching for lost souls. Ill fortune will befall any who encounter them, one by one. They are rarely sighted more than one at a time, and if all seven should come together, it will mean the end of the world.

From an upcoming review in F&SF, by Charles de Lint:
“Powers is responsible for many of my favorite novels and stories, but I particularly loved this book. Not least because it reminded me why I love reading — more, that I do love reading. I haven’t lost that joy; I’m just not finding enough books that do it for me.

“But here was a book that utterly absorbed me. I wasn’t distracted by showy writing (though the prose, in retrospect, is lovely) or the author parading his cleverness. Instead, I was given a lovely tale that wasn’t afraid to tell a small, simple story with freshness and a great deal of heart.”

We’ve just started serialzing Lucifugous, the 25,000 word stand alone novella that opens Elizabeth Bear’s mosaic novel — and hardcover debut — New Amsterdam. Think 19th century, with dirigibles and vampires, sorcerers, and a Great Detective who must solve his case before the zeppelin reaches this country’s shores. We’re posting a new chapter every weekday, so check back often!

We’ve just announced three brand new limited editions, two of them due in May, the other with a little more nebulous due date:

George R. R. Martin — A Feast for Crows. The Limited Edition series continues, this volume illustrated by Tom Canty. Check out the book’s page for the full details, including notice of a few bonus items for placing your order early.

Scott Lynch — The Lies of Locke Lamora. In our opinion, the finest epic fantasy series since Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Don’t miss out on our limited edition, illustrated in gorgeous full color by Edward Miller — check out the cover, posted here. Due in May.

Gordon Dahlquist – If epic literary fantasies with Victorian trappings are your things, then the limited edition of this Publishers Weekly bestseller The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters will certainly fit the bill. If that’s not enough of a nudge to buy, the cover artwork will be by the incomparable Dave McKean. Also due in May.

Look for more details on all of these books, including examples of the illustrations, in the near future.

Finally, if you haven’t signed up for our email newsletter — see the box at the right — you really should. We just ran a special that can’t be beat on the Lynch and Dahlquist titles.
