THE
FANTASTIC FICTION OF HANNES
BOK
Edited by
Robert
T. Garcia
1st Hardcover edition, Signed, Limited Edition, e-Book &
Leatherbound (forthcoming)
Collecting: The Sorcerer’s Ship,
Beyond the Golden Stair and Starstone World.
Cover by Hannes Bok A 2020 LOCUS
NEW AND NOTABLE BOOK
"Bok's
beautiful art can still produce awe and admiration. And, additionally
so can his writings....Reaching the end of [the book], abetted by the
memoirs of the man himself, the reader will feel reverence for the
gentle dreamer and thankful pleasure at the unique fantastical gifts he
bequethed us." -- Paul Di Filippo, LOCUS
Hannes Bok's three solo fantasy novels into
hardcover for the first time!
Both The Sorcerer's
Ship and Beyond the Golden Stair were
previously
published as part of Ballantine Books' Adult Fantasy paperback line.
His first novel-length tale: Starstone World, is a much
shorter and
darker piece, which has never been reprinted since it appeared in Science Fiction Quarterly #7,
[Summer of 1942], over 75 years ago. These aren't your conventional
fantasies, although all the trappings
are there. His novels have a sly humor with plots containing
unconventional twists and turns; a strange metaphysical bent; and his
artist's talent for glorious description.

WEINBERG TALES edited by Douglas Ellis, Robert T. Garcia and
Phyllis Weinberg
1st
Edition, Trade Paperback
2018
LOCUS Recommended Reading List
Weinberg Tales is an affectionate
memorial to the late, great,
fantastic art collector and authority
Bob Weinberg. Designed to echo the look of an old pulp magazine, printed on pulp paper, it
provides surprisingly good image
reproduction. The charming,
old-style cover by Douglas Klauba based on a Virgil Finlay painting features both Bob &
Phyllis Weinberg in heroic poses. Heartfelt tributes appear from the many people, both pros and fans, whom Bob and Phyllis
befriended. The book is filled with
tales of art collecting, wheeling
and dealing amongst collectors,
artists, publishers, and fans. Also featured are several articles by Weinberg on the collecting
life
that previously appeared in Tangents online. Black and-white
reproductions of artwork — including a Margaret Brundage mermaid
painting and an even racier nude —
as well as work by Hannes Bok, Virgil
Finlay, Edd Cartier, Ed Emshwiller, and Brom, round out this charming farewell. Anyone interested
in fan history and SF art will enjoy
it. —
Karen
Haber, Locus Magazine
Weinberg Tales features Robert
Weinberg's "Collecting
Fantasy Art,” a fascinating look at collecting science
fiction art in the late 20th Century with profiles of collectors Gerry
de la Ree, Sam Moskowitz, Darrell C. Richardson, Robert Lesser, and
others. B y remembering specific art deals,
Weinberg describes how pulp and paperback cover art survived through
the diligence and sometimes the crazy obsession of avid collectors.
Illustrated with dozens of covers and illustrations from Bob's
collection (in B&W).
The book also contains "My Life in Fantasy" in which Bob describes his
years-long connection with the World Fantasy Convention culminating in
his
receipt of the convention’s Life Achievement Award in 2005. Finally, it
republishes his life-affirming piece: “A Dream of Mars,” in which he
details his life-long wish to travel to Mars. (Which explains Douglas
Klauba’s stunning cover [at left].)
There are examples of Weinberg miscellania scattered throughout: a
Robert and Phyllis Weinberg Books ad, an "I collect
Fantasy Art" ad soliciting original art; their mail-order book catalog
covers,
sample pages from art catalogues, photos from the Robert E.
Howard Days celebration in 2005, convention photos, family photos, book
covers, fanzine covers
and more.
In addition, there are over 40 appreciations from family and friends
including Randy Broecker, Mort Castle, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz, Phyllis
& Alex Eisenstein, Harlan Ellison, Ken Faig, Lail Finlay, Ron
Fortier, Mike Gold, George Hagenauer, Angeline Hawkes, Tina Jens,
Stephen Jones, Stephen Korshak, Joe R. Lansdale, Terry McVicker, Will

A PLAGUE OF
SORCERERS by
Mary Frances Zambreno
EBOOK EDITION
A 1993 ALA
Best Book for Young Adults,
"This
well-wrought fantasy features several engaging characters (especially
Delia); logically developed, clearly described rules of both light and
dark magic; and a plot that hangs together, twisting cleverly at the
climax.”— Kirkus Reviews (Copyright
1991)
“Zambreno's greatest accomplishments are the
creation of a highly
believable world where magic follows an intriguing set of laws and a
cast of delightfully eccentric, constantly feuding characters—including
a temperamental Weather Wizard, a feverishly verbal master Herbalist, a
brilliant Theoretician and the shrewd and talented Jermyn himself. ” —
Publishers Weekly (Copyright 1991)
"...hilarious,
inventive, surprising, and warm-hearted. It has its own brand of magic,
but one that will make Friends of Harry [Potter] feel right at home.” —
Mugglenet.com
Before Harry
Potter, there was Jermyn Graves!
A
PLAGUE OF SORCERERS has been out of
print for years.
We are proud to announce the first eBook edition. The novel is the
story of how Jermyn Graves gains his
unconventional familiar, the skunk Delia. It's at the beginning of
his apprenticeship with his Aunt Merovice, an herbalist wizard of
considerable power. Before they can begin his training, she is
afflicted by the curse of a rival wizard, and Jermyn must instead
become the apprentice of William Eschar, the Master Theoretician of the
Wizards Guild. When a plague afflicting magic users hits their city and
threatens the entire nation, Aunt Merovice falls victim. It's a race
against time as Jermyn Graves and Delia prove to be the only ones who
can unweave the web of dark magic and political corruption that hides a
shocking secret at its core.

A WALKING TOUR OF THE SHAMBLES by Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe
Third Printing:
Brown Cover
"If you
can find it, get it. If you can't, beat the bushes and bribe your local
bookseller until you can. Under no circumstances should
you even think of setting foot in the Shambles without this invaluable
resource. Neither the management nor the authors will be responsible
for what happens if you do.” —Green Man Review
“Written
with punnish glee and an eye for the most demented details of travel
tomes (even to the inclusion of recipes and "Further Reading"), this
one is a little gem.” —Cemetery Dance
"Brilliantly,
sinisterly, banteringly, the authors of A Walking Tour mingle
light jest with gallows humor in their descriptions of haunted
structures taller than the Sears Tower, hostelries for immigrants from
Ultima Thule, immortal lake-pent gondoliers, and a petting zoo from
hell. The style is impeccable modern Baedekerese, with unsettling winks
and sidewise talon-crammed grins..." —Nick Gevers, Locus
We invite
you to tour the Shambles, that historic old Chicago neighborhood which
miraculously survived the Great Fire of 1871. ("Ya can't burn Hell," as
one local politician laughingly remarked.) Uniquely Chicago, the
Shambles offers an array of delights for the intrepid sightseer.
In the
finest tradition of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey, our trustworthy
guides Gene Wolfe and Neil Gaiman reveal the secrets of the Shambles,
finding the best places to eat, (and where not to accept food under any
circumstances), where to begin your walking tour, and when to run.
Cover Art
by Gahan Wilson
Interior illustrations by Randy Broecker and Earl
Geier, two daring Chicagoans.

STALKING
THE ZOMBIE by
Mike Resnick
Leatherbound
Ltd Edition: Signed by Resnick, Willis and Klauba
First Trade Hardcover
E-Book edition
“...Mixtures of
fantasy and private-eye noir, laced with healthy doses of humor, these
are little nuggets of goofy perfection, absolutely guaranteed to make
the author’s legion of fans cheer out loud—and then start clamoring for
the next full-length Mallory adventure.”— Starred
Review in Booklist
"Living in a
magical world can be a blessing and a curse and it delivers delightful
dilemmas to the diligent detective. What would you do if the
intelligent, magic broom belonging to the arch demon who is your sworn
enemy falls in love with you? How do you find a local politician when
they die but decide they want to go out for dinner and a burlesque show
or two before the funeral? When your sworn enemy decides to hire you,
do you take the job? Toss in a magic mirror with an O.C.D./neatness
problem, a petulant partner, and an office cat-person with expensive
tastes but no long term (SHINY!) memory and you have a book worthy of
your time and money." —John Collins, Examiner.com
"Against the
unusual, keeping one's mind straight carries one further than you'd
expect. Stalking the Zombie: Fables
of Tonight is a collection of
short fiction from Mike Resnick, focusing on his blend of noir and
fantasy with detective John Justin Mallory, who works in an alternate
Manhattan where the legends of our world are very much true. With a
strong blend of humor and adventure, "Stalking
the Zombie" is a choice
and recommended addition to general fiction and fantasy collections,
highly recommended." —Midwest Book

INVISIBLE PLEASURES by Mary Frances Zambreno
FIRST TRADE HARDCOVER /
500 COPIES , E-BOOK
"MFZ's
stories are pithy, chockablock with munchy bits, and often wise. They
are full of the medievalist's love of bright shining objects but also
wired into the dark underbelly of change. Her strong women transcend
the times in which they live, whether it's the difficult past—or even
the more difficult future. So once again, I say: `Write more, damn it!"
Please."—Jane Yolen
"Undiscovered gems of genre
fiction are not so rare after all, and they’re a lot easier to deal
with for me when they come packed together in a nice collection like
this.... If you’re looking to add another story to that tower at your
bedside, then Invisible Pleasures — the kind you experience reading,
which says something about this book — is a great way to top it off.” —
Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column
“. . . this is an excellent collection by one of the best writers of
fantasy that I have ever encountered.” — Sam Tomaino, SF Revu.com
“Zambreno writes psychologically astute historical fiction, as well as
sensitive fantasy, but don’t underestimate her twisted sense of humor.
Those looking for an anthology of unusual and varied subjects should
read Invisible Pleasures for its own merits . . . and not just
because Jane Yolen said so.” — Elizabeth Allen, Tangent Online
Invisible
Pleasures is the first short story collection by Mary Frances
Zambreno, author of A Plague of Sorcerers and Journeyman
Wizard. A fantasy collection with a few pieces of science fiction
and horror. Over a dozen stories in all, the book covtains the best of
her writing. Zambreno’s stories of powerful,
intuitive women have engaged readers young and old for over thirty
years. Known primarily for her young adult novels, you will find that
her tales for adults are equally “Fast-moving, expertly written, and
altogether charming.”
Queens, healers, witches,
adventurers, students, young girls and others are the focus of these
tales. Her protagonists are always pushed to the limit, finding their
individual strength and resolve though adversity. Whether they occupy
the author’s home of Chicago or the worlds of fairie, their journeys
take place in a hostile world, whose threats are conquered by clear
thinking, intellect and courage.
At their heart, Zambreno’s stories are puzzles whose clever resolutions
surprise and amaze the readers who have grown to love them. With a deft
hand she misdirects, teaches and astounds in stories that flow as
easily as water. American Fantasy is proud to publish this collection
which we are sure will become one of your favorites.

DARKSIDE by Dennis Etchison
Signed and Numbered 1st US Hardcover Edition of Author's Preferred Text
"Dennis
Etchison's DARKSIDE at last brings him to the forefront of the genre,
where he belongs." —Ray
Bradbury
"If
you haven't yet sampled this macabre and disquieting vision of "The
American Dream" Gothic California-style, then you've got a treat in
store: if you have, then you'll want to get a copy of Etchison's
preferred version ... while stocks last". —Peter Crowther
DARKSIDE IS A MODERN
CLASSIC FROM DENNIS ETCHISON'S GOTHIC
CALIFORNIA, a land where it may be impossible to distinguish between
the mind's inner landscape and the world outside.
In a city of fast food and relentless sunlight, Doug Carson is trying
to live the American Dream—California style. As his film career takes
off, he marries a beautiful woman with three perfect daughters, and
moves his instant family to Beverly Hills, ready for the Good Life. .
.But soon something threatens their privileged lifestyle. Something
that will alienate this step-father from his new family and plunge them
all into the underworld of today's Los Angeles, a nightmare of quick
thrills and meaningless death, built on a foundation of quicksand. To
save his wife and daughters, Doug descends into a grim culture of
teenage runaways, manipulators and murderers. It is a stark and twisted
vision of L.A., darkly perverted from the idealism of the sixties. But
he must learn the secret of the Darkside, even if the cost
is higher than he can possibly imagine. . .
When DARKSIDE first appeared as a paperback original in 1986, at the
height of the horror boom, it included passages added to satisfy the
publisher so that it could be marketed as the latest
scream-of-the-month. After a single printing, it undeservedly vanished
from bookstores in the U.S., despite high praise from critics like
Michael Morrison who called it “a biting, almost unbearably grim
indictment of the death of life in modern America. It is one of the
seminal works of fiction in the eighties.”
This
ten-year anniversary edition marks the return to print of one of his
most important dark fantasy novels. American Fantasy Press and
Airgedlámh Publications are proud to bring you Etchison’s preferred
text, corrected and restored, with an introduction by Ramsey Campbell
and a special author's afterword.

THE MAN ON THE CEILING by STEVE RASNIC & MELANIE TEM
Chapbook / 500 copies / 1st appearance, 1st edition
The Man on the Ceiling is the Tems' stunning
semi-autobiographical short story about living with the devastating
fears that lurk in our everyday lives. An examination of common dreads
that will haunt you every time you see a shadow cross a wall or hear a
noise in the dark, especially in the safety of your own home. On Ellen
Datlow's and Paula Guran's Recommended Reading Lists for 2000, this
novella appeared in both Datlow and Windling's Years's Best collection
and Steve Saville's Year's Best Horror Collection. This was a 500 copy
limited edition chapbook signed by the authors
"The kind of short story that reminds
you what
fiction is capable of being, of doing, of making, for the reader and
for the author.'' --Neil Gaiman
''I have only two words for the Tems' The
Man on the Ceiling:
exquisitely compelling. The confessional power, the
dangerously arcane secrets exposed, the field of its vision, and the
way the story is told . . . well, I have only two words: you must read
this. Four words. As good as anything I've read in the last half dozen
years, I have only one word for it: simply brilliant. And one word
more: Hurrah for the Tem axis!'' --Harlan Ellison
''Do not read this story if you are alone. Do not read
this story if you are afraid of the truth. Do not read this story if
you have ever been afraid of the dark and do not wish to be again.''
--Dan Simmons
''Melanie and Steve Rasnic Tem have given us a conclusive
demonstration that the best horror is open-ended, exploratory, and
emotionally truthful. The
Man on the Ceiling
grabs the genre by the
scruff of the neck and lifts it right off the ground.'' --Peter Straub
''The Man on the Ceiling is one of the most
remarkable pieces of fiction published this year.'' --Ed Bryant, Locus

THE DREAMTHIEF'S DAUGHTER LIMITED
EDITION by
Michael Moorcock
Signed, numbered, slipcased limited
edition. Press Run Limited to 600 copies. 1st US Edition.
"The
best edition of an Elric book ever...I love this book!"--Michael
Moorcock
This First US
Edition illustrated with over 30 new B&W illustrations, including 7
full-page pieces, all original to this edition by DON MAITZ, ROBERT
GOULD, DONATO GIANCOLA, GARY GIANNI, MICHAEL KALUTA, RANDY BROECKER,
TODD LOCKWOOD, & MICHAEL WHELAN!
After a
decade, master fantasist Michael Moorcock returned to his most famous
character, Elric of Melniboné, in this astounding novel of revelation,
magic and intrigue, we were chosen to publish the limited edition of
The Dreamthief's Daughter.
In this book, Moorcock introduced Count Ulric von Bek, the last member
of the von Bek line and Oona, the Dreamthief's Daughter, who together
with Elric, seek to save the Multiverse from the machinations of Prince
Gaynor. As the Nazis begin their big play in World War II, an
imprisoned and beaten Ulric von Bek fights to keep his mystical black
sword Ravenbrand from his power-mad cousin, SS Major Gaynor von Minct.
Elric falls during Lady Miggea’s siege of Eternal Tanelorn, in a plot
that will bring the forces of both Law and Chaos to bear against the
Balance. Only the combined souls of Ulric and Elric can triumph, as
Stormbringer and the Holy Grail fall into Gaynor's and Hitler's hands.
And the schemes of the mysterious Oona might be the last chance to save
them all.
This is an epic adventure moving from the concentration camps of
Germany, into the wondrous underground land of Moo Oria, to a besieged
Tanelorn, on to the point of origin of all things—the Grey Fees, and
beyond that, to the shores of Britain. Moorcock fans will be delighted
as the author takes them on a Grand Tour of his own personal
wonderland—the Million-Sphered Multiverse.

THE COLLECTORS'
BOOK OF VIRGIL FINLAY by Robert Weinberg, Douglas Ellis
and Robert T. Garcia
Signed 1st US Hardcover Trade Edition
Signed and Numbered Kickstarter edition / 90 copies
Signed and Numbered Leatherbound Edition / 25 copies
2016 LOCUS Recommended Reading List
“Arguably
the finest art book of the year, THE COLLECTOR' BOOK OF VIRGIL FINLAY
is probably difficult to find, but worth seeking out for any one who
enjoys Finlay's exceptional work. // The 160 black-and-white
illustrations here and 48 color pieces may provide the finest versions
of Finlay's fantasy, science fiction, and horror illustrations ever
seen: they have been digitally cleaned and most are printed at their
actual size, one per page.”—
Karen
Haber, Locus Magazine
"Virgil Finlay specialized in pen-and-ink drawings of
ethereal
women, illustrations for Weird Tales, figures set against
starry backgrounds (as in his much-reproduced portrait of H.P.
Lovecraft in 18th-century garb), and scenes with a Midsummer
Night’s Dream feel to them. In this case, exceptional reproductions
do justice to the even more exceptional originals."
—Miichael Dirda, The Washington Post (Picks
for
holiday gift books)
"...this limited edition is a fitting tribute to
Finlay,
whose influence on the field is felt to this day. Published in a tiny
edition of 400 copies this undoubtedly won't be in print for long.”
— Arnie Fenner, Muddy Colors
"The art of Virgil Finlay joins together in a wonderful discourse the
graphic designs of the modern era with the emotional narratives
reminiscent of the great classical works of the Western World.
Finlay’s dizzying compositions and incredible draftsmanship recall the
dense compositions of Renaissance artists Hieronymus Bosch and Albrecht
Durer, while at the same time embracing the modern aesthetics of
abstraction. His black and white images are ground breaking,
unforgettable, and reflective of a genius at play in the world of art."
— Donato Giancola
Virgil Finlay
was
the premier illustrator of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror fiction
in the pulps from the 30s through the 60s. This beautiful art book
features art from the collections of Robert Weinberg, Doug Ellis, Glynn
Crain, and Robert Wiener. Released at the World Fantasy Convention in
conjunction with the Centenary celebration of Finlay's birth, this
collection contains some of the finest reproductions of his B&W
work to date, with most printed at their original size, so you can
truly appreciate his fine artistry. The color pieces have been printed
with a 200 LPI press, assuring a beauty and faithfulness to the image
hard to surpass.
