Packages from the Postman

A t-shirt and a book.

The book is Dominion by Brian Evenson published by Raphus Press. A thought-provoking short story, both in form and content.

A t-shirt and a graphic novel. I read this before, and I thought it was great. Bleak as hell, though.

Two books and a t-shirt.
The Unseaming by Mike Allen has a blurb by TL.

A little late on this, but the Allen collection is stellar.

Broodcomb Press recently published hardback editions of three early books. If you still haven't read anything from them, you might be missing out. Though it might not be for you, so...

Infinite Fog recently released what they call the "Definitive Edition" of Coil's album Astral Disaster. It contains the CD versions on the original album as released by them (first time on vinyl) as well as the original versions released on the Prescription label, along with two LPs worth of outtakes from those original sessions. I never got a copy of the original Prescription LP, but when I did finally hear it, I consoled myself by declaring it a lesser version. To me, those tracks sound like demos. Still, it's worth hearing for the Coil adherent. All of this comes in a nice package, along with the LP size hardbound book with all the same music on CD.

It has just arrived. The Spanish edition of Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith, with an introduction by Lin Carter, is equivalent to the English version published by Ballantine Books. I’m finding it fascinating.

Cool! I've always liked the Ballantine Adult Fantasy imprint and have used it to discover books I hadn't known about. I have a five volume set of Smith, but they are in publication order, and the nice thing about these BAF publications is they are curated by theme. It's interesting that this publisher chose to keep the format of the Ballantine edition. Those came out long enough ago that they are their own thing now, as opposed to just another collection.
