Re: Ex Occidente Press

The Bulgakov homage "The Master In Café Morphine" has landed in Germany! Copy 13. :-) A masterful achievement judging by the design and table of contents alone. There are so many of my favourite current authors in there, it's impossible to imagine the book to be anything less than brilliant. Must now not waste further time online and start reading immediately. A delicious item. I would be VERY surprised if that edition of 100 copies were to last long....

Just received my contributor's copy of ThE MASTER IN CAFE MORPHINE- A Homage to Mikhail Bulgakov. It's utterly, massively gorgeous. More about it from me when I do a RTR of it.

Mine has arrived, too, Des, with a satisfying thump on the doormat. I've been creating a few ebooks recently, but there is nothing like a well-made, book, printed litho, on nice paper. I'm looking forward to reading it...

Re: Ex Occidente Press

My contributor copy is on its way to me in New Zealand. Can't wait!

Re: Ex Occidente Press

My copy has arrived as well.

Extraordinarily beautiful, and the cover illustration...Caruso has really outdone himself this time!

Re: Ex Occidente Press

Received a contributor copy of 'The Master...' yesterday, a really remarkable book - beautifully produced.

There is also a further EO homage volume planned on Bruno Schulz:

This Hermetic Legislature

Submission deadline September 2011.

Re: Ex Occidente Press

I am new to the forum - albeit a longtime lover of Mr Ligotti's fiction and a great admirer of most of the writers posting herein and published under Dan Getu's imprints. I've recently got my copy of "The Master ...". Truly impressive. The best achievement of Dan's publishing house ... so far!
Does anybody know why, although it took for this book so long to be published, there aren't any "Notes to the Stories" as it was initially announced? I found the notes to the stories contained in the first of Ex Occidente's tribute anthologies ("Cinnabar's Gnosis") most informative and I expected something similar regarding "The Master ...", all the more since the stories are set within a cultural, historical, philosophical and political milieu many of the would be readers are unfamiliar with.
Also, does anybody know why Ron Weighell's story was omitted?

It was mentioned above:

Quote:

Suburbs of the Black Lyre is now appearing in full form in Mr. Weighell's occult-ontological masterpiece, Tarshishim, where it rightly belongs.

And welcome to the forum.

My understanding is that Dan felt that the notes 'got in the way' of the purity of the tribute. After all, this anthology was supposed to be about Mikhail Bulgakov first and foremost. I agree with Dan that it was better to leave the notes out in this instance.

However, I have taken the liberty of posting the notes to my own story on one of my blogs here. Anyone else who wants their own notes posted on this blog can just let me know and I'll arrange for that to happen...
