After quite a while resting on my more or less laurels (past listings) it's time to get a move on and put up some more listings. My goal is five books every day from now on. This should be achievable, but not according to my past performance.

These books get listed in three places: on Amazon, Biblio, and Half. Books without ISBNs (older books) generally will not be listed on half. My prices might vary between these three places. Amazon and Half tell me competing prices, so I peg mine on them. Thus, if the lowest price for Deadly Percheron is $98 on Amazon, I might peg mine at $95. If it weren't my only copy maybe I'd be more reasonable. In fact, I think my Biblio listing is more reasonable.

Going forward (and possibly backward), links to titles of books will send you to the main Amazon listing. My listing will be somewhere amidst the other maybe 237 listings. This is where my photo of the book can be seen, which will probably be a better one than the one Amazon features. Half doesn't let me attach my own photo—at least I don't think it does. Photos are also at biblio. Lots of older listings still don't have photos. Nor updated prices.

I've been lousy at selling direct via email. Sorry about that, if you've tried me. Listing through the major portals keeps me honest—also prompt and reliable.

blogmail sent

---Finally sent a brief blogmail to all my undisclosed recipients, thinking maybe a few might be interested in the Fantagraphics offer. Comics are not so much my particular thing, but if they were I know I would be a big fan of what Fantagraphics puts out, especially in reprinting vintage stuff. I know I need to start getting a few orders to publishers sent out again. Lately, though, I've been mainly chipping away at what I've long had in stock through listings on biblio and half.com.
---Rec’d a mailing from Fantagraphics Books with one-time super discount on all Fantagraphics Books & comics! I could pass along a 40% discount on any of their titles, at least for now.
---Finally catalogued a few stray items that have come in over the past few weeks: issues of Tales of the Unanticipated and Talebones and the couple books from Perseus Distribution.

Monday, September 24, 2007

09/24/07 MON:
---Here today from Perseus Distribution (neé Publishers Group West and Consortium):
Jones, Stephen (ed) THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR 17, Carroll & Graf '06, 1st US, (the world’s premier Year’s Best horror anthology series; also contains a comprehensive overview the year in horror), of new 13.95

Tan, Cecilia (ed) A TASTE OF MIDNIGHT: Sensual Vampire Stories, Blue Moon '06, (collects the very best of tasteful vampire erotica), new 14.95
---Nice to know I still have an account somewhere. Discount 30% on these, as ever. I would have thought this would be the place to get the latest Sturgeon volume, but checking the publisher's website it seems maybe Random House in now their distributor. Hard to keep track, especially when you are not keeping track.

---Went to penultimate day of big Planned Parenthood Book Sale today. Scrounged up a few things, mainly books I would want to read myself, given the chance (maybe another century of lifespan). Since the 84 or so books is more than I will be able to read anytime soon, I will be listing the ones I can (with ISBNs) on half.com. Meanwhile I have made JPEG covershots of the books to kick off my Covershots 10 folder for eventual CD-R burning. Covershots 9 now has 677 MB, which will fill up a CD if not overfill it--if I ever get a chance to burn it. My Superdrive burner on the eMac is on the fritz. Can't say I blame it, after all the paces I've put it through. Meanwhile, I think I can transport files I want to burn, like Covershots 9 and my Catalog Data, to my iBook using my iPod. But I would really like to get that Superdrive fixed or replaced. I think I will try to wangle a car ride sometime to the local Apple Store Genius Bar to see what can get done, but who knows when that will be.
---Here are the bare titles of what I picked up at the sale (more details and/or actual covershots available by request; links are to my listings on half.com):

---Word from Gauntlet:
Gauntlet Press is pleased to announce that Jack Ketchum's classic novel HIDE & SEEK is now going to press for a November release.. This will be an affordable trade paperback editions. All other editions are long sold out. Ketchum adds a unique afterword to the book. Rather than a "How-I-decided-to-write-the-book" approach, Ketchum penned a story of the girl who helped inspire the book. Publishers Weekly praised the book when it was first published as follows . . .
" In the early 1980s, Ketchum (the pseudonym of Dallas Mayr) published in paperback as gruesome and taut a horror novel as anyone had seen: Off Season. Perhaps because of the outrage the book engendered, Ketchum's second novel, Hide and Seek, received little support from its publisher when it appeared in mass market in 1984. That's a shame, not only because Mayr's career nose-dived commercially after that (though he's still writing and publishing), but because Hide and Seek is a good novel, strong and true, scary yet uplifting in the classic horror manner. Set during summer in the Maine coastal town of Dead River, the book divides into two parts. In the first, the narrator, local young man Dan, meets visiting college kids Casey, Kim and Steven; engages in some drinking and daring with them; falls for beautiful, wild Casey (they have sex in a graveyard) and learns what impels her to take risks: years ago, she was sexually abused by her fatherAabuse that led to the death of her younger brother. The book's second part provides the payoff to that meandering but tantalizing setup. In it, the quartet agrees to play hide-and-seek in a local haunted house. The game soon turns frightening, then deadly, as the four encounter the house's horrid inhabitants, not all human - a challenge that prompts Dan and others to grow up quickly. As in Off Season, the action is ultraviolent and shocking, but the point here, as there, isn't the grue but the spirit of those who must deal with it. Here, too, Ketchum writes with economy and power, in sentences that tighten like noose wire. Anyone who enjoys fine, hard horror will appreciate this novel."
There is one trade paperback edition ($16.95). Because this is a trade paperback we should be shipping sometime in November.
Sincerely,
Lamont Ingram

---Word from PS:
A selection of recent titles from PS Publishing - Click for more information

Welcome to the September 2007
E-Bulletin from PS Publishing

In this month's e-bulletin:

  • A warm welcome from our publisher, Pete Crowther
  • News of or major schedule update
  • Introducing our new PS Showcase short fiction mini-collections
  • A round-up of recent news from the PS Publishing News Room

Scroll on down!

A warm welcome from Pete Crowther

Hi everyone!

Another Monday morning and, just as the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, it looks as though Summer has finally come to the Yorkshire coast. But there's definitely a sense of autumn in the air, not least with the fact that in less than two weeks we'll be enjoying another FantasyCon, a regular late September feature on our calendar.

We always look forward to FantasyCon but this time we're even more excited than usual because I'll be handling the Master of Ceremonies duties. We're busy working to get Gary Fry's mini-collection - and the first title in our new PS Showcase series, hi-lighting newer authors whom we consider to be worthy of wider attention (see-below for more info) - ready for a launch on the Saturday night. And, of course, PS and some of its titles are up for the highly coveted British Fantasy Society Awards so we'll be keeping our fingers crossed.

See you at the con!

Major schedule update

We've just updated our current website with all the forthcoming titles that we hope to publish before the end of 2008. We've added 32 new titles to the 20-odd that we'd previously announced, so now there are over four dozen brand new books by some of the top names - and up-and-coming new talents - in genre fiction for your to look forward to and be tempted by.

Coming Soon! 'The City Beyond Play' by Philip José Farmer & Danny AdamsThe full list of additions is available over at the PS Publishing News Room, or you could just head straight on over to the forthcoming titles page of the website and have a browse through the new titles there.


Introducing our new PS Showcase mini-collections

'PS Showcase #1: Sanity and Other Delusions' by Gary FryThis month, September 2007, sees a brand new PS initiative hit the racks: PS Showcase.

The idea is to put out a series of mini story-collections - priced as per our novellas at £10 / $20 approx. for the hardcover and £25 / $50 approx. for the signed, jacketed hardcover - from writers whom we believe are deserving of more attention.

The first volume in the series is by Gary Fry and we're aiming to have his Sanity and Other Delusions available for a launch at FantasyCon.

See the PS Publishing News Room for more information from Pete on the PS Showcase concept.

THE MINOTAURESS
W/ THE HORN-CRANKER


By Edward Lee

HELL’S BITCH IN HEAT...

Seething, slavering, and insane, it cringes, not wanting to slip forth from the noxious, bloated belly of its abyssal mother until the most hideous sexual atrocities beckon it from Hell’s hot bowels: the dread monstrosity of unfathomable beauty and the most vile horror--revulsion and desire incarnated into one...

...PREGNANT TO BURSTING WITH ABOMINATIONS UNTOLD...

Atop the moon-drenched hillock sits the leaning manse, surrounded by ancient graves rich with the bones of witches, and amid the dense cricket-choruses of these ghastly twilight deeps, it stalks, thrashes and prowls, its nipples gorged with evil, its loins a frenzy of Luciferic lust...

RITES OF REDNECK PASSAGE...

Behold Balls and Dicky (of THE BIGHEAD fame) as they embark on their first sociopathic epiphany teeming with down and dirty redneck whores, occult science, corpse-sex, and scatological gross-out the likes of which would make the BTK Killer faint. These boys think they’re bad...but are they bad enough to face--

THE MINOTAURESS

Edward Lee’s latest novel of irredeemable harder-than-hardcore horror...

THE HORNCRANKER

Dean Logan is a man with problems. The main one being his wife, a raging bitch. But she will soon be the least of his problems. Dean learns that his father has died and he must return to the ranch and come face-to-face with the life he left behind--a life full of sex, violence, drugs and cattle, lots of cattle. With the help of his do-nothing friend, Ajax, Dean will return to his old ways and quickly learn the secrets of his family and the evil that they've spawned. Time to test his old skills, skills that made him a legend--skills that may save his family and friends' lives

---Word from Ash-Tree:
We are pleased to attach information on the new Ash-Tree Press title, Francis Brett Young's COLD HARBOUR. Praised by both H. P. Lovecraft and E. F. Bleiler this highly atmospheric macabre novel is guaranteed to provide a chill on the cold autumn evenings which are almost upon us.
Francis Brett Young (1884–1954) is one of Britain's underrated and neglected regional novelists, and, in his introduction to this new edition, John Howard discusses Young's life and the themes that dominate his novels. We're sure this is one you will enjoy.
NEWS OF WHAT IS FORTHCOMING:
We have a busy few months ahead. Currently at print is PASSING OF A GOD AND OTHER STORIES, the first of a three volume series which will collect all of the known short fiction of Henry S. Whitehead.
Almost ready for press is EXOTIC GOTHIC: FORBIDDEN TALES FROM OUR GOTHIC WORLD edited by Danel Olson of North Harris College, Houston, Texas. Danel teaches a course on Horror, Ghost, and Gothic Fiction, and, finding himself in need of suitable texts, decided to approach a number of authors whose stories would provide what he needed. So in this new collection, you'll find stories of the Gothic from well-known names: Nicholas Royle, Thomas Tessier, Terry Dowling, Peter Crowther, Neil Gaiman, Thomas Ligotti, Steve Rasnic Tem, Brian Hodge, Nancy A. Collins, Joyce Carol Oates, and Barbara Roden amongst others. Twenty-three chilling pieces (Early November).
In final proofing stages is the stunning new collection by Reggie Oliver, his first with Ash-Tree Press, entitled MASQUES OF SATAN: Twelve Tales and a Novella. The reptuation that Reggie has acquired is sure to make this collection much sought after. Make sure we have your reservation well in advance of publication (late November).
And to round off our plans for 2007, we shall be reprinting J. S. Leatherbarrow's A NATURAL BODY AND A SPIRITUAL BODY, adding one fugitive tale to the original collection.
All best wishes,
Christopher and Barbara

Hi Chris

My name is James Beach and I publish Dark Discoveries magazine. I have been
doing it for about 4 years now and I recently put out issue #10. (The
website is: www.darkdiscoveries.com) if you want to see a few examples of
issues we have done). I bought a couple of things from you a number of years
ago, but I wasn't aware you were still around honestly or I would have
dropped you a line sooner. Patrick, who does Talebones is a friend and had
mentioned you have carried some of his publications so I thought I might
drop you a line as well.

I didn't remember if you carried magazines in your catalogue or not, but if
you do and are interested in carrying Dark Discoveries please let me know. I
give the standard 40% discount off the cover price ($5.99). I still have a
number of the back issues in stock as well.

I'm also publishing a book next month, which features the debut story
collection of a regular for DD, Bill Gauthier. It's going to be a signed,
numbered trade paperback that features cover art and book design by Alan M.
Clark and an introduction by Thomas F. Monteleone. I'm just doing 250 copies
of it and already 170 have been reserved now so I don't think it will last
for long. The signature sheets are done and it should be going to press in
the next week or two. Please let me know if you wish any copies of this as
well. The cover price will be $13.99. All I'm doing at this point is putting people
down for reserve and not charging any money until it comes out.

Thanks - James
