I read an enthusiastic review of this book in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sounds like something I'll check out at the library.

Didn't I read here or somewhere once that Centipede Press would be doing a volume of John Metcalfe's stories at some point? I've been saving up for it, even. Guess I might have them confused with some other publisher.

"Didn't I read here or somewhere once that Centipede Press would be doing a volume of John Metcalfe's stories at some point?"

In response to my query last summer, Jerad at Centipede sent an email dated July 8 that said, "Metcalfe is still in the works," but I've seen nothing since then.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

My newest book, a novel co-author'd with David Barker--WITCHES IN DREAMLAND--is now available for pre-order at Hippocampus Press. Some of ye novel takes place in Sesqua Valley, but ye majority of the tale is set in H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands, a region that offers endless fictive possibilities. The book will be publish'd early next month.

Re. the new book announced on ST Joshi's blog.
I have a lot of respect for Joshi's scholarship, and for his past & present contributions (including his editing work for Centipede Press) but his mocking criticism of other authors seem a bit over the top, as in this new book's TOC.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

For those not on the Wormwoodiana or Strange Attractor email lists, an announcement of a very interesting book:

Strange Attractor Press have just announced Incurable - The Haunted Writings of Lionel Johnson, the Decadent Era’s Dark Angel, edited by Nina Antonia, the author of the excellent Eighteen Nineties romance The Greenwood Faun, and dedicated expert on Johnson.
It is to be published in mid-October in a special hardback edition limited to 100 copies, and an unlimited paperback edition. Pre-orders may be placed now.
The announcement notes: "A lost poet of the decadent era, Lionel Johnson is the shadow man of the 1890s, an enigma “pale as wasted golden hair.” History has all but forgotten Johnson, except as a footnote to the lives of more celebrated characters like W. B. Yeats and Oscar Wilde."

Wormwoodiana: Incurable - The Haunted Writings of Lionel Johnson

Thanks to Mark Valentine and Wormwoodiana for the notice, and to Strange Attractor Press for reclaiming this lost work!

This was on the Facebook page for Egaeus Press, very intriguing!

"Announcement perhaps... Charles Wilkinson's very very strange new collection, SPLENDID IN ASH, is coming relatively soon from Egaeus Press, considerably so, more or less, quite possibly..."
