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

I have purchased the Ligotti one but I don't understand why the others are selling out so quickly. Is collecting the whole series of A Little Book the main appeal?

I believe it is more the print runs are small, the books are affordable, especially for a signed book, and authors alert their fan bases.
The Joe Hill sold out within an hour.
I doubt many can collect the whole series. Likewise trying to collect all Tartarus titles or Sarob when so many are OP and beyond most people's price range.

In his most recent blog post, S.T. Joshi mentions this as an "exemplary collection of short stories." Nice cover. Reasonable price.

Limited HB Edition (52) of Thin Places by Kay Chronister available this morning from Undertow Publications.

“Grim but effervescent.” - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Kay Chronister's remarkable debut collection of modern horror tales, Thin Places, echoes with the ghosts of Shirley Jackson and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, while forging its own unique gothic sensibility. Here there be monsters! And witches! These are tales of monstrous mothers and dark desires. Love, grief, death; and the exquisite pain and joy of life. With transcendent prose, Chronister chronicles the lives of powerful women and children; wicked witches and demons. These are the traumatic ghosts we all carry, and Chronister knows what it means to be human and humane. Powerful and hypnotic, these are tales you won't forget, from a vibrant new voice.

Rogomelec Paperback – April 21, 2020
by Leonor Fini (Author), Serena Shanken Skwersky (Translator)


The first translation of Leonor Fini’s voluptuous and antipatriarchal gothic novel. Originally published in French in 1979, Rogomelec was the third of Leonor Fini’s novels. All the qualities of the paintings for which she is famed can be found in it: an undermining of patriarchy, the ambiguities of gender and the slipperiness of desire, along with darker hints of cruelty and the voluptuousness of fear.

This novella’s ambiguous narrator sets off for the isolated locale of Rogomelec―where a crumbling monastery serves as a sanatorium and offers a cure involving a diet of plants and flowers―and moves through a waking dream of strangely scented monks, vibratory concerts in a cavernous ossuary and ritualist pomp with costumes of octopi and shining beetles. As the days unfold, the narrator discovers that the “the celebration of the king” is approaching, the events of which will lead to a shocking discovery in Rogomelec’s Gothic ruins.

This first English translation includes 14 drawings by Fini that accompanied the novella’s original publication.

I've been interested in Charles Nodier since I read about him in Marina Van Zuylen's Monomania: The Flight from Everyday Life in Literature and Art. That book contains a fascinating chapter called "The Cult of the Unreal: Nodier and Romantic Monomania."

I see that Snuggly Books has several Nodier titles forthcoming, translated by Brian Stableford. This is very good news, because there isn't much Nodier in English translation.
