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.

BLOOD WOOD AND OTHER STORIES by CHRISTOPHER HARMAN

Christopher Harman is a former librarian and lives in Preston, Lancashire. His stories have appeared in magazines and anthologies over almost thirty years and this (sort of/mostly) retrospective and bumper collection of his work is really long overdue.

Presenting an invitation to terror … here the reader will discover a dozen tales of Jamesian chills, creeping urban dread and rural folk horror … there is darkness even in the common-place. And for Mr Harman’s characters there appears to be no escape from the lurking horrors …

Eleven of these stories were originally published (in magazines and anthologies) over a period of twenty years between 1994 and 2014 and are collected together here for the first time. The title novella “Blood Wood” was written especially and is wholly original to this volume.

Stories: “The Children”, “Passengers”, “A Better Place”, “In the Fields”, “Dinckley Green”, “Sleepers”, “By Leaf and Thorn”, “The Last to be Found”, “Jackdaw Jack”, “Dark Tracks”, “Hill Shadows” and “Blood Wood”

BLOOD WOOD is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.

Bound in ‘blood’ Red [what else] Cialux Italian cloth, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine in White, Quality Creamy Text Paper, Full Colour Printed Endpapers with a Marbled Design, Section Sewn binding, Red Head/Tailbands and Red Ribbon Bookmarker.

NEW TITLE NEWS: THE FACES AT YOUR SHOULDER

THE FACES AT YOUR SHOULDER by STEVE DUFFY

Where are the monsters?  Sometimes they’re right behind you.

In this new collection of six novelettes – three are wholly original to this volume – Steve Duffy invites us to look over our shoulders, and asks us whether we recognise the faces that we see.  Some of them are all too human, some are animals, and some are like nothing we’ve ever seen – yet. 

In the snowy wastes of the Yukon and the mining country of Appalachia an age-old terror is unwittingly unleashed…

After-hours at the Pacific View diner, meet a glamorous, mysterious film star and uncover a monstrous bargain…

In Streatham or in Ethiopia, you must be careful what you wish for – very careful – or anything might happen…

Christmas is a time for family, and that means dark secrets, desperate desires and occult constructs…

Down at the zoo something is stirring: the animals know, but the warders won’t realise until it’s already too late…

Young love blossoms at the New York World’s Fair, but the future has its own agenda…

Steve’s previous Sarob Press collection (Finding Yourself in the Dark) sold out its print run within a few weeks of publication.  Don’t risk missing out – order your copy of The Faces at Your Shoulder now.  Before the monsters disappear...

Stories: “The Oram County Whoosit” “The Soul is a Bird*” “In the Days Before the Monsters*” “The Psychomanteum” “The Lion’s Den” and “Futureboro*” *original to this volume. “Foreword” and “Notes on the Stories” by the author.

THE FACES AT YOUR SHOULDER is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.

Bound in Nordic Blue Cialux Italian cloth, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine in Gold, Quality Munken Premium Cream 90gsm Text Paper, Full Colour Printed Endpapers, Section Sewn binding, Gold Head/Tailbands and Gold Ribbon Bookmarker. Approx 192pp including prelims etc. Fantastic Full Colour Wrap Dust-Jacket and B&W Frontispiece Art by PAUL LOWE. Publication currently scheduled for early/mid February 2023.
