Abdullah, Achmed & Darrell Schweitzer (introduction) FEAR AND OTHER STORIES FROM THE PULPS
USA Wildside Press 2005 1592242375 First Edition Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
228pp. Achmed Abdullah's name was once synonymous with adventure. He published dozens of novels and hundreds of short stories in the pulp magazines of the early 20th century, thrilling millions of readers throughout the world. He wrote with authority about exotic peoples and places because he had lived a life filled with adventure, serving in the British army and travelling extensively to exotic locales before settling down to a literary career. Here is the first new book of Adbullah's stories in almost seventy years, sampling a broad range of his work. 'A Charmed Life' tells of one life-changing night in India, when a white man glimpses and beautiful woman in danger and acts to rescue her. 'Framed at the Benefactor's Club' is a fascinating, intricately plotted mystery set in Manhattan. 'The Yellow Wife' is a chilling look at Chinese life in Chinatown. 'Bismallah!' is a light adventure in Africa, as crooked traders try to put a successful rival company out of business. 'Light' is a surprisingly effective supernatural tale. 'A Yarkand Survey' tells the story of a corrupt governor who is sent on a survey mission that might cost him his life -- if he isn't careful! And 'Fear' is the tale of two thieving white men in Africa and the weird fates that awaited them. Ranging from mystery to adventure to outright horror, from the streets of New York to the rooftops of Calcutta, from London's Chinatown to the jungles of Africa, here are tales of men caught up by plots and mysteries beyond their wildest imaginings! Features a new introduction by pulp scholar Darrell Schweitzer.

Rickert / How We Got Into Town and Out Again - Jonathan Lethem / Dark, Dark Were the Tunnels - George R. R. Martin / Waiting for the Zephyr - Tobias S.

Famine, Death, War, and Pestilence: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the harbingers of Armageddon - these are our guides through the Wastelands. From the Book of Revelations to The Road Warrior; from A Canticle for Leibowitz to The Road, storytellers have long imagined the end of the world, weaving eschatological tales of catastrophe, chaos, and calamity. In doing so, these visionary authors have addressed one of the most challenging and enduring themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life in the aftermath of total societal collapse. Gathering together the best post-apocalyptic literature of the last two decades from many of today's most renowned authors of speculative fiction, including George R.R. Martin, Gene Wolfe, Orson Scott Card, Carol Emshwiller, Jonathan Lethem, Octavia E. Butler, and Stephen King, Wastelands explores the scientific, psychological, and philosophical questions of what it means to remain human in the wake of Armageddon. Whether the end of the world comes through nuclear war, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm, these are tales of survivors, in some cases struggling to rebuild the society that was, in others, merely surviving, scrounging for food in depopulated ruins and defending themselves against monsters, mutants, and marauders. Complete with introductions and an indispensable appendix of recommendations for further reading, Wastelands delves into this bleak landscape, uncovering the raw human emotion and heart-pounding thrills at the genre's core.

McDo AS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN - A COLLECTION OF SHERLOCKIAN PARODIES FROM UNLIKELY SOURCES
Canada Calabash Press 1998 1899562583 First Edition Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
179pp. Ellery Queen once described the difference between pastiche and parody: 'A pastiche is a serious and sincere imitation in the exact manner of the original author. But writers of parodies, which are humorous or satirical take-offs, have no such reverent scruples. They usually strive for the weirdest possible distortions, and many ingenious travesties have been conceived. As It Might Have Been is all about those distortions and ingenious travesties: the collection brings together some thirty-eight examples, most of which have not seen the light of day since their first publication in obscure magazines, some dating as far back as 1893. The reader will encounter Herlock Sholmes, Sheer Luck, Padlock Jones, Hemlock Coombs, and many others, including a delightful parody of a Conan Doyle Round the Red Lamp story. But all of these pieces were written with one character in mind - the never to be forgotten Sherlock Holmes. As such, they may be regarded as a tribute to the creator and the created. Join us then, as Sherlock Holmes (or whichever character he appears to be at the time) investigates 'The Great Security Bank Mystery', 'The Reigate Road Murder', 'The Marischaal Manor Mystery', 'The Omnibus Murder', and a host of other unusual cases. This splendid collection has been gathered for our pleasure by Robert Adey, whose leisure hours, as will be apparent, are spent collecting and trawling through long-forgotten magazines and periodicals.

Canada Ash-Tree Press 2001 1553100263 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Rob Suggs
173pp. Limited to 500 copies. In Annual Macabre 2000, Jack Adrian collected together nine stories of the supernatural which were published during the Golden Age of the British fiction magazine, a period which ended with the outbreak of war in 1914. For the current volume, he has uncovered another thirteen stories published during the Indian summer of the weekly and monthly fiction periodicals: a time which began early in the 1920s and was again curtailed with brutal finality by the outbreak of another war, in 1939. Only one of the stories included in Annual Macabre 2001 has appeared in bookform; the other twelve have remained hidden in the pages of magazines since their first publication more than sixty years ago. As Adrian points out in his introduction, many of the authors are better known for their writing in other genres; but all show a sure touch in their handling of the supernatural, the macabre, and the horrific, in settings which range from America to the seemingly tranquil coast of Ireland, and from England to the legend-haunted countryside of Japan. CONTENTS: Introduction by Jack Adrian; 'I Will Never Leave You' by Marjorie Bowen; The Corner House by Elizabeth Kyle; The Tarletan Dress by F. Tennyson Jesse; A Little Way Ahead by Pamela Frankau; The Pool by Lucas Malet; The Badger by Jessie Douglas Kerruish; Man-Eater by Elizabeth Gorell; Fear by S. P. B. Mais; Modern Antique by Milward Kennedy; Station Permanently Closed by Noel Langley; An Experiment of the Dead by Helen Simpson; Solitaire by Nan K.

Adrian, Jack (editor) Tom Gallon, Neil Gow, Eric Ambrose, W. J. Makin, Donald Shoubridge, Laurence Meynell THE 1999 ASH-TREE PRESS ANNUAL MACABRE
Canada Ash-Tree Press 1999 1899562885 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
72pp. Introduction by Jack Adrian. The House That Was Lost by Tom Gallon / Tight and Loose by Neil Gow / The Man Who Was Tomorrow by Eric Ambrose / Newsreel by W. J. Makin / Time-Piece by Donald Shoubridge / Last Act First by Laurence Meynell. Notes and Sources. The third of Ash-Tree's annual gatherings of rare macabre stories. This year, as at perhaps no other point in history, the focus is very much on 'time' as we prepare to turn the calendar over from one millennium to the next. The concept of time shifting, changing, distorting, playing tricks with hapless humans generally thought of as the preserve of science fiction and fantasy writers; but it plays a part in many a ghost story, too. Indeed, in his introduction, editor Jack Adrian argues that 'all, or at any rate most, ghost stories contain elements of time-distortion'. In these six stories - originally published between 1908 and 1940 - time, in all its shifting confusion, plays a part, blurring the lines between past and present, reality and illusion. The characters in these tales find themselves caught in a shadowy world in which time itself seems to have no meaning where acts from the past return to haunt the present, and where the shadow of what is yet to pass mocks those who would try to change it.

For most of its life, the weekly publication Truth - which was more generally concerned with politics, finance, and general muck-raking - ran, in each issue, a short fiction feature called 'Queer Story'. After publication of a number of stories, they were gathered and published as anthologies titled Queer Stories from 'Truth'. The short stories were odd, peculiar, strange, macabre, weird, and at times outright supernatural, and some illustrious names contributed weird tales to the forum, including H. R. Wakefield (whose 'Annyversry' is an early version of the tale later published as 'The Fire-Watcher's Story'), A. B. Cox, and Rosemary Timperley. Jack Adrian has collected together thirty-one of these stories; short, sharp shocks which introduce the supernatural into the lives of everyday people. In his lengthy introduction Adrian looks at the fascinating history of Truth, and those who published and wrote for it.

Cox, William Caine, Douglas Newton, Barry Perowne, David Christie Murray, Andrew Lang, Katharine Tynan, Lafcadio Hearn, Lady Cynthia Asquith THE 2005 ASH-TREE PRESS ANNUAL MACABRE - HAVEN'T I READ THIS BEFORE?
Canada Ash-Tree Press 2006 1553100875 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xxxiv+214pp. Limited to 400 copies. The writer faced with a blank sheet of paper has to decide how the story he is going to write will develop: what will be its theme? what will be its outcome? He draws on his experience and talent to produce an original work for his reader's enjoyment. On occasion, however, his mind may be seeded with ideas drawn from something he himself has read. This year's ANNUAL MACABRE looks at a number of writers whose work appears either to have been influenced, or been an influence upon, the work of others. In some of the stories, well-known writers have drawn on, and improved, earlier work. In others, lesser known writers have attempted their own variations on well-known stories. In his fascinating introduction (which the reader is strongly urged to consider before reading the stories themselves) Jack Adrian discusses the theme of plagiarism and literary (and musical) theft. But outright plagiarism is not the sole theme of this ANNUAL which, as ever, showcases stories that will, in the main, be unknown, even if certain themes and storylines will be at least vaguely familiar, if not instantly recognizable.

Adrian, Jack (editor) W. W. Jacobs, Michael Kent, H. R. Wakefield, Peter Gladwin, Edgar Jepson, A. B. Cox, William Caine, Douglas Newton, Barry Perowne, David Christie Murray, Andrew Lang, Katharine Tynan, Lafcadio Hearn, Lady Cynthia Asquith THE ASH-TREE PRESS ANNUAL MACABRE 2005: HAVEN'T I READ THIS BEFORE?
Canada Ash-Tree Press 2006 1553100875 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xxxiv + 214 pp. Limited to 400 copies. The writer faced with a blank sheet of paper has to decide how the story he is going to write will develop: what will be its theme? what will be its outcome? He draws on his experience and talent to produce an original work for his reader's enjoyment. On occasion, however, his mind may be seeded with ideas drawn from something he himself has read. This year's ANNUAL MACABRE looks at a number of writers whose work appears either to have been influenced, or been an influence upon, the work of others. In some of the stories, well-known writers have drawn on, and improved, earlier work. In others, lesser known writers have attempted their own variations on well-known stories. In his fascinating introduction (which the reader is strongly urged to consider before reading the stories themselves) Jack Adrian discusses the theme of plagiarism and literary (and musical) theft. But outright plagiarism is not the sole theme of this ANNUAL which, as ever, showcases stories that will, in the main, be unknown, even if certain themes and storylines will be at least vaguely familiar, if not instantly recognizable. So turn down the light and enjoy twenty stories from the pens of such as W. W. Jacobs, H. R. Wakefield, Edgar Jepson, Douglas Newton, Andrew Lang, and A. M. Burrage (whose story 'The House of His Fathers' is reprinted for the first time since its original magazine publication in 1914). CONTENTS: Introduction by Jack Adrian. I. W.W.

Canada Ash-Tree Press 2002 1553100484 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xiv + 214pp. Introduction by Jack Adrian / 'Wanted! Quarmin Tay!' by W. H. Adams / The Wade Monument by Violet Jacob / The Wedding by John Sampson / The Moral Opiate by William Bradley / The Black Cat by George Blake / Fladda Light by Hilton Brown / The Jackals by Edward Liveing / The Trouble at Totton Corner by H.

Dorset / Nisi Dominus by Cecil Binney / The Portent by John Fisher / Red Hair and Yellow Curtains by Shaugh Courtenay. The later years of the Victorian era are justly famous for many things, not least the extraordinary flowering of monthly and weekly magazines which sprang up to cater to the newly literate middle classes. Among the most famous-and most successful- of these magazines was The Cornhill, which was created in 1860 and outlasted all its rivals, finally closing its doors in 1975. From the start, The Cornhill featured some of the finest storytellers British literature had to offer; and from the 1890s onwards, its respective editors allowed their obvious fondness for the ghostly tale to find an outlet in the pages of the magazine. Jack Adrian has uncovered many weird tales in the pages of The Cornhill, none of which has seen print since its original publication. This, the first of two Annual Macabres highlighting the magazine's supernatural content, contains stories ranging from the odd to the horrific: a rich mix of the weird, the outré, and the downright horrible.

Ainsworth, William H. AURIOL OR THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
USA Wildside Press 2002 1587155931 First Edition Reprint Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
200pp. AURIOL: The Elixir of Life. Flashes of light passed before Auriol's eyes, and strange noises smote his ears. The furnace breathed forth flames and mephitic vapors; the spiral worm of the alembic became red hot, and seemed filled with molten lead; the skeletons grinned and gibbered; the monstrous sea-fish belched forth fire and smoke; the bald decapitated head opened its eyes, and fixed them, with a stony glare, on the young man; while the dead alchemist shook his hand menacingly at him. A weird and spine-tingling classic from the author of The Lancashire Witches.

Ainsworth, William Harrison. Windsor Castle
USA Wildside Press 2002 159224971X First Edition Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
284pp. There is in the folklore of Shropshire and Herefordshire a figure known as Wild Eric who, with his pack of flying hounds (the Seven Whistlers) reins wild elemental terror on the woodlands in those parts. WINDSOR CASTLE is Ainsworth's tale of Herne the Hunter, and the hunter is a weirdling hybrid = part Wild Eric and partly a species of Windsor Mephistopheles; in a very real way, this is a tale of the devil's special haunting of Henry VIII and all of those who so famously attended to him.

UK PS Publishing 2005 1904619258 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author(s) and Introducer(s)
Limited to 200 slipcased copies. "They're the reason why xenophobia was invented." So says Uncle Toby, renegade member of the Laurence family. The comfortable Laurence family lead a fairly traditional life. They have a manservant to look after them. The sea is nearby, as is the psychotherapist. Edgar Laurence is a well-known pianist. His grand-daughter, Laura Broughton, is a famous novelist. Of course, the family has its problems. There's an unmarried mother with a small child. There are mobs at the gates, divorces, illicit love affairs and a suicide - or is that two suicides? But life goes on. Until the night when a meteorite burns out in earth's atmosphere. It releases a number of microscopic beings. Well, if not beings, at least functions. They are a mystery, a challenge to human imagination. However, if you have one entering your brain, you may be able to communicate with it, perhaps to your advantage. Here is what humans have long wanted, a chance to study alien life. They do not like it when they get it. Laura Broughton defends the visitors while the world becomes more and more alarmed. That's what gets her into trouble. And finally, the visitors astonish us all. Once more, Brian Aldiss delivers a gripping story, thronged with characters and love's complexities, salted with philosophical undertones, both comical and chilling. As with his recent novels, Super-State and Affairs at Hampden Ferrers, the international aspect of this very English novel shows through.

Allan, Nina A THREAD OF TRUTH
UK Eibonvale Press 2009 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
242pp. A young man determined to cure his fear of spiders, discovers both the magic of nature and something much stranger in the Suffolk countryside. A forgotten suitcase containing a macabre secret. A touch of the strange on the Moscow Metro. A mystery living behind the crumbling façade of a derelict hotel. A crack appears in concrete . . .In this book, the first collection from London writer Nina Allan, the full range of her styles is evident. Often using only the tiniest hints of the unusual or otherworldly to colour her narratives, these stories are rooted squarely in both the meticulously observed modern world and the traditions of British Macabre and Slipstream writing. They are subtle and elegantly crafted, leading us to question our own identities and take a second look at places we thought we knew. From the quiet and melancholy mystery of Terminus to the fractured modern reality of The Vicar with Seven Rigs to the fragile and almost classical beauty and eeriness of the title novella, A Thread of Truth - many of these stories have never been seen in print before and I am delighted to present them to you here. - David Rix.

Anderson, M.W. THE RIVER PAST MIDNIGHT - A COLLECTION OF DARK POETRY
USA Naked Snake Press 2005 First Edition Private Press Chapbook Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
This is a 54-page collection of surreal poetry and art that can create the most wonderful nightmares. "M.W. Anderson's words cut and caress, burn and soothe, scream and whisper. An Anderson poem is a dash of cold water followed by a warm, soft towel. Bathe in it." Scott Nicholson. Author of The Red Church & Harvest. M.W. Anderson illuminates the pain of loss in this stinging collection of sharply etched work, in which the bitter roots of what makes us human stands against the silence and the void waiting to erase the memory of our existence. Gerard Houarner. Author of Painfreak, & Road to Hell
