NEW TITLE NEWS
THE WHITE ROAD
RON WEIGHELL
When THE WHITE ROAD appeared in 1997, in the Ghost Story Press edition,
it collected all the short fiction the author wanted to see preserved at that
time. In this new Sarob Press edition a few of the minor, or otherwise readily
available stories from the original have been left out and ‘replaced’ by a
novella bringing together two of Ron Weighell’s most popular characters, ‘James
Calder-Stuart’ and ‘Vallance’, and taking ideas in its plot from one of the
‘lost novels’ mentioned in the introduction to the original edition ... “Out of
the Hidden Land” has been written especially for this volume. The original
stories have been newly typeset and re-imagined. This 384pp (approx) hardcover
containing 24 stories and 2 novellas has been a massive undertaking by the
author, the artist and by Sarob Press ... a true labour of love. The original
stories have mostly only minor revisions/corrections etc and appear in the
author’s preferred order ... and the overall feel and concept of this new
volume is wholly different to the GSP edition. And we’ve worked extra hard and
really pushed the boat out in regards to design and production. Truly a book to
savour ... Stories:
“The Secret
Place” “Againbite” “The Boat Called Millions of Years” “Carven of Onyx” “Laid
Down and Guarded” “The First Turning of the Second Stair” “‘Bishop’ Asgarth’s
Chantry” “China Rose” “The Tunnel of Saksaksalim” “Lock Fast the Lock” “The
Greater Arcana” “An Empty House” “The Stryx” “The Box Parterre” “Byerly Mount”
“Second Death” “The Chestnut Husk” “The Lycurgus Cup” “The Circle of the
Hieroglyphs” “The Ram Head Ring” “Necropolis” “The Fire of the Wise” “Diminish
Like the Word” “The Resurrection Brass” “The White Road” & “Out of the
Hidden Land”
Ron has provided a new introduction for this 20th anniversary
edition and artist Nick Maloret has come up with a terrific painting for the
jacket, another for the ‘illustrated end-papers’ and distinctive blocking art
for the front boards (all based on the Egyptian Magic themes in the new
novella).
