---Word from Darkside Press about a book not here yet, but sounding like it might be soon:
“New book from Cleve Cartmill:
You're receiving this note because you've ordered Midnight House books in the past, and while this new collection by Cleve Cartmill is from our SF imprint, there is certainly enough fantasy/horror content that I thought you might find it of interest:
The name Cleve Cartmill is synonymous with the "Golden Age of Science Fiction". For over a decade beginning in 1941 Cartmill received equal billing with the more famous names of the era such as Heinlein, Simak, Hubbard, and de Camp. His novellas and novelettes were frequently the lead features of Astounding Science Fiction and Unknown Worlds. Best known today for the famous "atom bomb" story "Deadline", Cartmill's impressive oeuvre of fantasy and science fiction has appeared only sporadically in anthologies and with the exception of the paperback Space Scavenger, has never been collected in book form. This is the first of a projected five volume set that will collect all of Cleve Cartmill's fantastic fiction. From the fantasies such as "The Bargain" and "Age Cannot Wither" to the dystopian future shown in "With Flaming Swords", this collection presents a selection showcasing the range of this unjustly neglected master of fantastic fiction.”
