NEW TITLE NEWS: SPIRITS OF THE DEAD BY RON WEIGHELL

SPIRITS OF THE DEAD by RON WEIGHELL

Here are eleven superlative stories, three of which are previously unpublished ... tales featuring dark and demonic occult encounters, pagan terrors and Jamesian chills.
SPIRITS OF THE DEAD is possibly the last collection from the pen of the late and much missed Ron Weighell to feature some of the author’s unpublished stories. “Older than Christmas” is a feast of pagan goings-on and, this story, as well as “The Tale Once Told” seem to have a distinct hint of the Jamesian. Ron had been working on and off on “On Murder Considered as One of the Black Arts” for many years and it is, maybe, one of his darker and most terrifyingly disturbing stories (no spoilers here but don’t read just before bed).
Seven of the eight previously published stories collected appeared in anthologies from Egaeus Press, Swan River Press, Undertow Publications, Zagava Press and Sarob Press. “The Mark of Andreas Germer” appeared as Quire xiii, a handmade chapbook from The Last Press.
So, kick off your shoes, settle down before (preferably) a roaring log fire, with a warming tipple to hand … and gently immerse yourself in this wonderfully dark and shadowy tome. 

The stories: “The Malleus Bone”  “Older than Christmas*”  “The Palace of Force and Fire”  “Spirits of the Dead”  “The Invisible Worm”  “The Mark of Andreas Germer”  “The Tale Once Told*”  “Under the Frenzy of the Fourteenth Moon”  “Drebbel, Zander and Zervan”  “The Chapel of Infernal Devotion” and “On Murder Considered as One of the Black Arts*”.  With an extensive introduction by Mark Valentine.
*Previously unpublished and original to this collection.

HAUNTINGS HAS ARRIVED

HAUNTINGS (Tales of Supernatural Dread) by Peter Bell arrived just before Christmas and all individual pre-ordered copies have now finally shipped. Book-dealer orders will ship early next week.

Apologies for the sight delay but Sara and I both contracted a nasty bout of COVID shortly after the books touched down and it is only in the last week, feeling suitably recovered, that I’ve felt able to get back around to checking, numbering, packing and posting ordered copies.

Hopefully copies will start arriving in a couple to three weeks or so.

Happy New Year everyone.

Cheers, Robert.

NEW TITLE NEWS: HAUNTINGS BY PETER BELL

HAUNTINGS:  Tales of Supernatural Dread by PETER BELL

Peter Bell in these ten stories presents an intriguing gallery of people and places that are in various ways haunted: by legend and superstition; cults and curses; vengeance and tragedy; existential crisis; sinister epiphanies; dreams and omens; ghosts, witches and demons. In landscapes as diverse as the Scottish Highlands, the Welsh Marches, the Yorkshire Wolds and the Cumbrian Fells, and in the dark interstices of town and country, the characters find themselves in uncanny congress with their haunted surroundings.

Stories: “The Bothy*” “Rounding the Stone*” “Reunion” “Ragnarok” “The Cry of the Curlew*” “The Curator of Souls” “The Tunnel” “The Swing” “The Portrait” and “The Crucifix*”. Preface by the Author.

*Previously unpublished and original to this collection. The previously published stories have been fully revised, some extensively.

I posted all individual pre-ordered books during the last few days and I aim to get book dealer orders shipped early next week.

All being well, copies should be arriving in the next two to three weeks.

Many apologies for the very slight delay on this one …
