AN UNHEAVENLY HOST HAS ARRIVED
Saturday, 2 July 2022
AN UNHEAVENLY HOST ~ PRODUCTION UPDATE
AN UNHEAVENLY HOST by C.E. WARD [see post below for full details] has been very slightly delayed at my printers. Although I had been told to expect the books before the end of June, I am now advised that delivery will be on (or around) 12 July. Many apologies everyone for the slight wait.
I will, of course, work to
get pre-ordered copies checked, numbered, packed and posted as quickly as I can
once the books are to hand … and already almost 95% of the print run for this
one is sold or reserved.
Thanks for your patience.
Cheers, Robert.

AN UNHEAVENLY HOST ~ NEW TITLE NEWS
NEW TITLE NEWS ...
AN UNHEAVENLY HOST by C.E. WARD
C.E. (Clive) WARD
is the author of three Sarob Press ghost story collections ... Vengeful Ghosts (1998), Seven Ghosts and One Other (2010) and Malevolent Visitants (2016). Sarob Press also published Clive’s
stand-alone novella Legionnaire (2019). The collections sold out very, very
quickly and are now almost impossible
to find ... and, when they do appear for sale, command very high prices.
And now comes
collection number four ... An Unheavenly Host contains eight
distinctly Jamesian ghost stories (four are previously
unpublished) ~ here you will discover creepy, dark graveyards, churches, lonely
farms, shadowy lanes and places where the past intrudes terribly and vengefully
upon the present, and where things best forgotten are also best left alone ...
and unspoken of. Fill your glass, stoke the fire, and settle down in your
favourite chair for a selection of decidedly pleasing terrors.
The rather gruesome wrap dust jacket art is by, of course, the always and ever brilliant PAUL LOWE.
Stories: Autumn Harvest, The Chapter House Window*, A Wrong Turn, Sins of the Fathers*, Assizes, Captured in Oils*, 11334, and Substantiated Evidence* (*original to this volume)
AN UNHEAVENLY HOST is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover. Bound in Wibalin Cloth (Fine Linen Style), Foil Blocked to Spine, Lithographically Printed on Quality 80gsm Cream Bookwove Paper, Coloured Endpapers, Section Sewn Binding & Head/Tailbands.

THIS WORLD AND THAT OTHER ~ NEW TITLE NEWS
JOHN HOWARD / MARK VALENTINE
This new shared volume offers two original novellas influenced by the supernatural and metaphysical thrillers of “Inkling” Charles Williams (1886-1945).
In “All the Times of the City”, John
Howard evokes resonances across time and alternate realities in a London that
is by turns familiar and unfamiliar. Caught in a strange spiral, his characters
move in a changing City threatened by amoral plotters driven by greed and
ambition. But visions of alternative possibilities, of what might have been,
still haunt their City too. This is a deeply imagined story that immerses the
reader in a tense and troubling drama.
In “Armed for a Day of Glory”, Mark
Valentine’s narrator tells us: ‘The Archdeacon thinks I
should begin with the Byzantine cloak, the King of Moab with his shewstone, the
young archer with the old yew bow, the Dame with the Great Horn, the laird with
his lost banner, and Kate with the escaped dragon. They all have their merits
and will have their due turn.’ And so they do, in a rip-roaring thriller about
an occult conspiracy that only a band of antiquarians and eccentrics can
thwart.
This
World and That Other follows the duo’s
Sarob Press volume Powers and Presences, also inspired by Williams.
Dust-Jacket art by PAUL LOWE.
THIS WORLD AND THAT OTHER is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover. Lithographically Printed on Quality Cream Bookwove Paper, Bound in Wibalin Cloth (Fine Linen Style), Section Sewn binding, Foil Blocked to Spine, Coloured Endpapers & Head/Tailbands. Approx 128pp including prelims.
Publication currently scheduled for late March/early April 2022.

STOCK UPDATE ~ FEBRUARY 2022
I have just half a dozen copies remaining of King Satyr by Ron Weighell.
And
about eight copies only of Sacred and Profane by
Peter Bell.
And a
reminder to folk that our December 2020 title, Ill Met By
Darkness (four original ‘folkish-horror’
novelettes/novellas by the ever excellent Paul Finch) is still available to
order.
Also
currently available (but both low stock) is Their Dark &
Secret Alchemy (novellas by Richard Gavin, Colin Insole and
Damian Murphy) and Legionnaire (a signed stand-alone
ghostly novella by C.E. Ward with quite amazing wrap-jacket art by the
brilliant Paul Lowe).
News

Cheers,
Robert.
