---Word from Night Shade:
Hi all,
We're just beginning to ship out preorders on our two new Manly Wade Wellman titles.
Strangers on the Heights (also known as Beasts From Beyond) is all about weird cult activity, and our hero's intention to stop it. As a bonus, included is the novella "Nuisance Value," (also published as The Dark Destroyers).
Giants from Eternity is about a nasty alien goo that tries to invade the earth, and what scientists do to stop it. The bonus novella here is "The Timeless Tomorrow"
In other news, we've FINALLY received the limited edition of Leviathan 4, signed by all the contributors, and are busily shipping out those preorders as well. Not many left, so if you want one you should order now.
Look to see H.P. Lovecraft's Letters from New York, The Collected Jorkens vol. 3, The Boar and Dead in the West to be released in the next couple of months. Beyond that, look for the third Hodgson volume, The Ghost Pirates, as well as books from Terry Lamsley, Steven Erikson and more.
Regarding slipcases. Yes, we are working on them. The binder has the five volume Wellman set, and is supposed to be working on those cases. As soon as he gets done with those, he'll be working on the slipcase for the limited edition of Strangers on the Heights/Giants from Eternity. Most likely after that, it'll be the Jorkens cases. Sorry for the delay.
A quick word on timeframes. Like any other small press, we try to get books out as close to on-time as possible. Frequently we're affected by things that are simply beyond our control. For example, our largest single customer is Baker & Taylor, a large book wholesaler. And they have some issues with paying on time. But they are such a large part of our revenue that if we don't get a check, it's the difference between shipping a book now and shipping it a month from now.
So please bear with us. We will get out all the books, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.
