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.

Adams, Guy DEADBEAT: MAKES YOU STRONGER
UK Humdrumming 2005 978190553237 First Edition Private Press Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
128pp. Nominated by the esteemed British Fantasy Society for the 'Best Novella (2006)' Award. I think you’re missing something, what did you notice about the woman in the coffin? She was breathing. Not a common habit amongst the dead. It’s the middle of the night and, in a dark suburban churchyard, a group of men are loading a coffin into the back of a transit van. But why would you be taking a full coffin away from a graveyard and, more importantly, why is the occupant still breathing? The matter obviously needs thorough investigation by the best, most capable authorities. Which is a pity as the only two witnesses are a pair of drunken ex-theatricals with reasons of their own to avoid the police. Tom Harris (nightclub owner) and Max Jackson (habitual barfly) are on the case. God help us. Deadbeat: Makes You Stronger is the first in a series of adventures set the secret underbelly of contemporary London, a place where the dead walk, magic can be bought on street corners and anything is possible. Frankly, it’s just like every other Pulp Crime/Horror/ Zombie/Comedy/Thriller you’ve ever read. Deadbeat is a cracking novella packed with invention, humour and downright grusome horror. Adams is a strong writer who creates memorable scenes that are liberally dosed with comedy and horror. The interaction between the two leads is instantly amusing and with alternating chapters written from the point of view of each - giving you two different opinions of the same situation in the best way possible. They could best be described as Reeves & Mortimer meets Karloff and Lugosi; they have a surreal sene of humour with a very black edge. The sequence when Max is hiding in a coffin is laugh-out-loud. The taxi driver incident is as charming as it is eccentric and is almost Ealing Cinema-like in execution. If a film production company hasn't picked this up by the end of the year, then there's no justice in the world. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] - James Whittington reviewing Deadbeat (May 2006 - DarkSide Magazine)

Adrian, Jack (editor) Marjorie Bowen, Elisabeth Kyle, F. Tennyson Jesse, Pamela Franklin, Lucas Malet, Jessie Douglas Kerruish, Elizabeth Gorell, S.P.B. Mais, Milward Kennedy, Noel Langley, Helen Simpson, Nan K. Lock, Leigh Brackett THE ASH-TREE PRESS ANNUAL MACABRE 2001
Canada Ash-tree Press 2001 1553100263 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover As New As New 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 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.

L. V. Fletcher: 'Brambles' Rosemary Timperley: 'Hell, Twice Daily' E. A. Williams: 'Poltergeist' Lane Mitchell: 'The Dagger'. Sources and Acknowledgments. Limited to 500 copies. 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 for this last volume of 'Queer Stories from Truth', Adrian looks at the fascinating history of Truth, and those who published and wrote for it.

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. 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.

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.
