nerds of a feather, flock together: Interview: Jess Nevins, author of Horror Fiction in the 20th Century This should be impressive. His previous books are very highly praised and extensive. I wanted to get Horror Needs No Passport sometime but these should be good too. |

First of two forthcoming works from Wakefield Press:
"WAYSTATIONS OF THE DEEP NIGHT" By Marcel Brion Translated by George MacLennan and Edward Gauvin, with an introduction by George MacLennan (to be released in April 2020) First published in France in the dark year of 1942, the story collection Waystations of the Deep Night remains the best known of Marcel Brion’s numerous works in the vein of the strange and the fantastic. The journeys in this volume carry the reader through the surreal vistas of an underground city that appears aboveground as a bizarre theater of facades and a fire-ravaged landscape where souls turn to ash. By playing with the format of hte ghost story or horror tale, Brion transforms the romantic waystations in this volume into stages on an inward journey into lucid dreams and no less lucid nightmares. Waystations evokes a deep night of strange encounters, enigmatic transformations, and labyrinthine journeys. A young castrato sings his heart out in a lost baroque garden; a timeless warrior retires out of battle to an uncanny final resting place; a child falls under the fateful spell of an enchanted painting; a traveler in a burned-out landscape encounters the Prince of Death; dancing cats engage in mortal combat in the cellars of an abandoned port city. These stories give substance to Brion’s claim that “the fantastic comes to us in the great tidal waves of night, phosphorescent plankton drawn by dark waves that break on humanity as soon as the sun of evidence and reason has disappeared.” A self-declared heir of Achim von Arnim and E. T. A. Hoffmann, Brion was also an admirer of the German Romantic writer Novalis and his sequence of Hymns to the Night, but his own imaginative homages to the night are more troublingly ambiguous, possibly an indirect reflection of the dark times in which they were written. Over the course of a long and productive career, Marcel Brion (1895–1984) published twenty novels, four volumes of short stories, and sixty-eight non-fiction books covering music, art, literature, history, and travel, and a large number of shorter essays and editorial introductions.

Second of two forthcoming works from Wakefield Press
"THE GRAND NOCTURNAL: TALES OF DREAD" By Jean Ray Translated, with an afterword, by Scott Nicolay (to be released May 2020) After the commercial failure of his 1931 collection, Cruise of Shadows, Jean Ray spent the next decade writing and publishing under other names in the stifling atmosphere of Ghent. Only in the midst of the darkest years of Nazi Occupation of Belgium would he suddenly publish a spate of books under his earlier nom de plume, all appearing in rapid sequence and which would later become his best-known and admired works. The first of these volumes, in essence picking up from where he left off a decade ago and signaling the beginning of his reputation as the Belgian master of the weird tale, was the 1942 publication of The Grand Nocturnal. The collection, as its subtitle indicates, consists of tales of fear and dread, but a dread evoked not by the standard tropes of horror (though rats, centipedes, and darkness lay waiting in these pages), but in what had now evolved into Ray’s personal brand of fear, drawn from a specifically Belgian notion of the fantasitc that lies alongside the banality of everyday life. An aging haberdasher’s monotonous existence opens up to a spiritual fourth dimension (and serial murder); an inebriated young man in a tavern draws cryptic symbols and mutters statements that evoke an inexplicable terror among some sailors, and as he sobers up, himself; three students drink Finnish Kümmel and keep watch over a deceased woman’s apartment, awaiting a horrific transformation. Yet these tales are laved with a certain morant humor that bears as much allegiance with Amborse Bierce as Edgar Allan Poe, and toy as much with the reader’s expectations as they do with their characters. Jean Ray (1887–1964) is the best known of the multiple pseudonyms of Raymundus Joannes Maria de Kremer. Alternately referred to as the “Belgian Poe” and the “Flemish Jack London,” Ray delivered tales and novels of horror under the stylistic influence of his most cherished authors, Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer. A pivotal figure in the “Belgian School of the Strange,” Ray authored some 6,500 texts in his lifetime, not including his own biography, which remains shrouded in legend and fiction, much of it his own making. His alleged lives as an alcohol smuggler on Rum Row in the prohibition era, an executioner in Venice, a Chicago gangster, and hunter in remote jungles in fact covered over a more prosaic, albeit ruinous, existence as a manager of a literary magazine that led to a prison sentence, during which he wrote some of his most memorable tales of fantastical fear.

A Little Green Book of Grins & Gravity $30.00 - numbered and signed Another of Borderlands Press "little" series. Description from website - The 9th volume of our “Little Books” Series III ! Before he wrote his first published book, Ramsey Campbell tried on various styles, and had two stabs at a detective novel in the style of John Dickson Carr. "The Enigma of the Flat Policeman" uses the second version of that book as a lens to examine his uneasy life and his psychological state at the time of writing. Where does fiction end and reality begin, and how do the pair interact?... The BP websitre does not list a contents page. Does Mr. Campbell visit here on occasion? If so, perhaps he can fill in details. A Little Green Book of Grins Borderlands Press |
