---Never made it down to the office today. Foreboding weather this morning kept me upstairs, but it only rained hard for a few minutes. In the cellar all hell can break loose and I remain blissfully unaware. That's not the way to be with windows open on the front porch and sun room, however. I got started re-alphabeticizing my compact discs, so that was a way to squander a day. The past few days most of the big downpours have been to the north of here, although a hefty system passed by to the south this evening. Other places have had it worse than here, but there is that special feeling of disquiet being at the mercy of the elements.

----Word from Golden Gryphon:

Greetings from the Gryphon:

THE GIRL WHO LOVED ANIMALS AND OTHER STORIES, by Bruce McAllister, is now
available!

These seventeen stories showcase the author’s five decades of writing, including
his first professional sale, “The Faces Outside”—written at the ripe old age of sixteen—to
editor Frederik Pohl for the July 1963 issue of Worlds of if magazine.
In the near-future title story, a young woman offers her love—and her body—to
ensure the continuation of an animal species; and in a related story, “The Ark,” a little
girl’s life is psychically linked to the survival of two pandas, and her father does what he
must to ensure that all three will live.
Also included is McAllister’s best-known work, novelette “Dream Baby,” a finalist
for both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and the basis for his acclaimed novel of the same
name. In this dark and foreboding first-person narrative of the Vietnam War, a young
army nurse who dreams the deaths of her patients but cannot save them, finally
transcends the pain and violence of war and at last is able to save her fellow comrades
in arms who, in turn, save her.
Whether it be an elderly woman who uses her vast wealth to create genetically
her perfect son (“Angels”), or a young man who, having saved his 1950s-horror-movie
town from a horde of invading locusts, can no longer find meaning in his life until he
meets an invasion of a different kind (“Hero, The Movie”), or a young boy who learns the
rituals of an alien culture in order to obtain an assassin’s help for his unborn sister
(“Kin”), Bruce McAllister’s stories resonate with a childhood’s sense of wonder coming
face to face with the realities of the human condition in a science-fictional world.

---where I still need to get that order placed. (Bruce McAllister being a favorite back in the day.) Well, the thunder and lightning are coming closer together again now, so I better cut this session short...

---Word from Centipede:

Hello everyone,

Just to keep you informed on the status of the Artists
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft book. This book is still waiting
for several key essays on artists, as well as the Harlan
Ellison introduction. We hope to have the book in the hands
of the printer by the first week of September, and then back
to the States by the end of February, after which copies
will be shipping.

Please let us know if this presents any difficulties with
those of you who have pre-ordered. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience that this delay is causing. On the
other hand, because of the delay, we have managed to secure
another work by Bob Eggleton, and a previously unpublished
work by Michael Whelan, as well as one by Lee Brown Coye,
and some other goodies as well.

The edition information is now set to:
850 copies in slipcase, $395
150 copies with extra prints in traycase, numbered, $395
50 copies with extra prints in traycase, leatherbound,
signed by most living contributors, $2,000

Thank you again for your patience and support.

Best Regards,

Jerad Walters
Centipede Press

---If anyone wants to get this through me, let me know. I can let you know what discount I might be able to swing. Pretty good deal the 150-copy edition same price as the 850--maybe a misprint. I'm sure the Harlan Ellison intro will be in their hands, well, one of these days--only a matter of time.

Monster Behind The Wheel will be our very last title. Robert & Sara are
retiring (very early) to a smallholding (small farm) in northern France.
Robert thought long and hard about continuing the press from France but,
after some discussion and all things considered, we felt closing down the
press was the best option. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all our
customers (private and dealer), authors, artists, editors and friends –
you’ve all helped make ten years of publishing very enjoyable.

*DEALER OFFER

We have a few titles still IN PRINT. To clear this stock we are offering you
all a special one off deal. Any of the following – whilst stocks last – can

What Can Be Saved from the Wreckage?
James Branch Cabell in the Twenty-first Century
by
MICHAEL SWANWICK

with a preface, Jurgen Down Under, by BARRY HUMPHRIES

James Branch Cabell (1879-1958), author of Jurgen.
6 x 9 inches, 64 pp.

Subscribers issue, 17 numbered copies hand bound, signed by Michael
Swanwick and Barry Humphries, each copy with a leaf signed by James
Branch Cabell.
Please inquire for subscription price, which includes shipping within

http://www.avramdavidson.org/wreckage.html
ISBN : 0-9764660-3-1 / ISBN-13 : 978-0-9764660-3-1
$15.

MICHAEL SWANWICK is author of a monograph on the fantastical literature
of Hope Mirrlees. His novels include Bones of the Earth and In The
Drift, and his short story collections include Gravity's Angels and The
Dog Said Bow-Wow. The front cover, Storisende: collage for Michael
Swanwick, forms part of the Catalogue of Unique Works in the Library
and Private Collections of Michael Swanwick (forthcoming).

BARRY HUMPHRIES is an Australian National Treasure, known worldwide for
creating the role of Dame Edna.

“It is hard to imagine today the magnitude of James Branch Cabell’s
fame in the early part of the last century. Cabell’s books were Mark
Twain’s chief reading in the great humorist’s declining years. Theodore
Roosevelt received him at the White House. The occultist Aleister
Crowley harried him with fan letters. H. L. Mencken was his advocate.
Sinclair Lewis, accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930,
mentioned him as one of a number of writers who might reasonably have
won it.
“Yet he died as good as forgotten.”
