I've received five books recently.
Pictures of Apocalypse by Thomas Ligotti
Zothique 13 The Thomas Ligotti Special issue.
Is that Kafka?: 99 Finds by Reiner Stach
The Lost Writings by Franz Kafka , Reiner Stach
The Thing by Dylan Trigg
(Below is the cool cover of the French edition. I got the meh cover of the English edition)
Dylan Trigg's The Thing is a sophisticated melding of philosophy, literary criticism, and film criticism that underscores his major thesis that 'the horror of the cosmos is essentially the horror of the body.' Its discussions of the fiction of H.P Lovecraft, the films of David Cronenberg, and other texts and films allow us to look at these works from a fascinating new perspective while shedding light on humanity's fragility in a boundless cosmos.

This has probably been there forever, but last month I noticed on the PS Publishing site, the "special offers".
Ten books, fairly inexpensively (especially for UK folks not burdened with overseas shipping).
Proverbial grab bag included a chapbook by Peter Crowther, and a promo book for Joe Hill.

Inexistent Texts No. 3
I got this item from the ever intriguing Broodcomb Press. I have no idea why these are still available, or why any of their books are, considering the small runs and high standards. Everything I've seen and read from them has been well worth it. Recommended.

I received three books recently.
I love Reggie Oliver's art, and Anna Taborska's story was nominated for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction for the Bram Stoker Award.
Sounds like a fun read.
A new Miskatonic monograph by the HPLHS. These are always entertaining.
The HPLHS presents its latest addition to our series of academic monographs from Miskatonic University Press: The Discovery of Fragments of Kitab Al-Azif at Harran. Scholars from Cambridge and Miskatonic universities collaborated on a series of archeological digs in what is now southern Turkey. The expedition revealed an ancient occult document long thought lost to the ravages of time.
Excavations at the site of Harran made several unusual discoveries. But chief amongst them is a fragmentary medieval document in Arabic. Professor Henry Armitage correlated the translated fragments with a passage in Miskatonic's incredibly rare occult tome: the Necronomicon. The expedition really unearthed a fragment of a legendary document never seen before: Kitab Al-Azif, the Arabic original of the Necronomicon!
This monograph tracks the journey of the discovery from the team's expedition to Harran, the excavation of multiple test pits and the discoveries made therein. It follows the work of translators and other experts as they connect the fragments to Greek and Latin editions of the fabled Necronomicon. The monograph features numerous photos, maps and illustrations as well as large format reproductions of the Al-Azif fragment in the original Arabic.
Fans of the Cthulhu Mythos and archeology will be delighted with this painstaking recreation of an academic monograph of yesteryear. This monograph is ideally suited for collectors of mythos memorabilia and for role playing gamers looking for a prop that's able to withstand a high level of scrutiny. Fans of H.P. Lovecraft will enjoy this deep dive into one of the author's most enduring creations.
The monograph features 32 pages of text, photos, diagrams, maps, detailed footnotes, a glossy 14-inch color centerfold and more. It is 5.5 x 8.5 inches, saddle stapled with a high quality green cover.

I got my copy of Vastarien volume 6, issue 1 today.
It looks like a great issue. I recognize the names of some of the contributors.
It also has what looks to be some really good essays.

Spawned mostly from The Swans' recent album as well as a bout of ennui through recently losing my job through no fault of my own, this arrived today. I doubt I'll get to it soon, as I'm re-reading Dune at the moment, but I've always held a fondness for Gira's thoughts even though I rarely care for lyrics in music.

I am a huge BWS fan of that era and have essentially all of his prints and portfolios up to the late 80's The Withering is framed and displayed above my desk as I type this.

Cool. It's a beautiful print. I've been a fan of BWS, Kaluta, and Wrightson since I was a kid in elementary school, because I bought their comic books. I didn't find out about Jeffrey Jones until later. I wasn't aware of these prints until I got on the internet and started checking out eBay. I once owned a BWS print of Conan fighting some skeleton warriors. My favorite might be this one: (The Ram and the Peacock)
There is one for sale on eBay right now for over $1000.

I love this novella. I put it on my watch list on eBay and I won a very nice copy with the dust jacket for less than $10! On AbeBooks the cheapest copy is over $200.
I also now have the entire set of Der Orchideengarten through Vol. 1 No. 16/17. I hope Joe E. Bandel is able to continue with this series. These are wonderful. Interesting stories and nice eclectic artwork.

Nothing particularly 'special' about this haul, unless like me you find an inherent excitement in the discovery of 'new' voices. No grails found under a stack of dreck in a well searched secondhand bookshop, just good prose.
Glad for the reprint of Tuttles 'My Death', which will be the first of the authors work I have read, her work seems to consistently be OOP this side of the pond.

Thanks for the recommendation. I saw this book available in the library system so put in a request for it, sounds intriguing.
