---From Tartarus:

WORMWOOD #4, spr/05, Tartarus, (Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent; on Oates, Kubin, Margaret Irwin, Shiel, etc.), new 15.00

---And Golden Gryphon was kind enough to send a small supply of the freebies they add to direct purchasers of their books, so I can offer the same (to at least a few):

1. An audio CD of James Patrick Kelly narrating his Hugo-nominated story,
"Bernardo's House." I give this away with any Kelly book.
2. "A Backwards Glance," a 20-page booklet of John Kessel interviewing Gregory
Frost. The first 75 were signed by Frost and the artist Jason Van Hollander (I'm
almost out of the signed booklets, but I have plenty of unsigned). I give this away
with the Frost collection, ATTACK OF THE JAZZ GIANTS.
3. Bookplates for BUDAYEEN NIGHTS, signed by Barbara Hambly.

---I pulled one of the Frost booklets out of its envelope and it is of the unsigned variety, as I expect they all might be. If you want the signed, better check with Golden Gryphon themselves right away.
