POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS HAS ARRIVED

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS, a shared volume by John Howard/Mark Valentine, touched down safely around a week or so ago.

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 …

Thanks everyone for your continued support (and patience).

Cheers, Robert.

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS ~ UPDATE

The books are due to leave my printers tomorrow with touch down expected here in sunny France middle of next week. I'll work as fast as possible to get orders posted and can only apologize for the further delay. Cheers, Robert.

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS ~ PRODUCTION UPDATE

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS, a shared volume by John Howard (the short novel “Fallen Sun”) and Mark Valentine (the novelettes “Masque and Anti-Masque” and “The Prospero Machine”) is very slightly delayed by about a fortnight or so … it’s currently ‘in production’ with my book printer and I am now expecting delivery around the middle of September.

I’ll work to check, number, pack, and post all pre-ordered copies as fast as I can once the books touch down here in France.

It’s already looking like it might sell out pretty quickly … just over 20 copies left of the 300 copy print run.

NEW TITLE NEWS: POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS by JOHN HOWARD / MARK VALENTINE

In this third (and final) shared volume influenced by the supernatural and metaphysical thrillers of “Inkling” Charles Williams (1886-1945), John Howard presents a wonder-filled short novel and Mark Valentine serves up two rather amazing novelettes.

John Howard’s fast-paced novel ‘Fallen Sun’ recounts the battle between several rival groups for ownership of a powerful Byzantine talisman, and the different visions they each encounter when it is in their possession. Through many twists and turns of chance and intention, none of the characters emerge unchanged, until the full significance of the treasure is at last revealed.

Mark Valentine’s ‘Masque and Anti-Masque’ is set in a small, ancient university town with a tradition of seasonal processions. But what is their significance? Could the town really be the occult capital of England, as a new book proposes? And in ‘The Prospero Machine’, the cards issued by fortune-telling machines at a seaside resort seem to have an uncanny influence on the town, linked to an obscure society’s work with dream magic.

POSSESSIONS AND PURSUITS is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.

Bound in Light Blue Cialux Italian cloth, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine in White, Quality Cream Text Paper, Full Colour Marble Design Endpapers, Section Sewn binding, Head/Tailbands and Ribbon Bookmarker. Approx 176pp including prelims etc.

Fantastic Full Colour Wrap Dust-Jacket Art by PAUL LOWE.
