Nothing rings in the holiday season like cosmic horror. So,\u00a0without further ado, let’s look at upcoming\u00a0publications featuring either\u00a0the works of the\u00a0Man From Providence<\/a> or those of his acolytes, all of which bear some connection (sometimes tenuous) to Our Reason For Being<\/a> here at The Cimmerian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Courtesy of Coming Attractions<\/em>, we\u00a0find that Girasol Collectables<\/a>, publishers of several fine facsimile editions of the pulp appearances of Robert E. Howard, is gearing up to present two volumes collecting all the stories of Lovecraft which appeared in Weird Tales<\/em>. Here’s the blurb:<\/p>\n

Girasol Collectables<\/strong>
\nTHE WEIRD WRITINGS <\/strong>
\nOF H. P. LOVECRAFT <\/strong><\/span>
\nComing Spring 2010!<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

All of Lovecraft’s fiction from the original run of WEIRD TALES, in facsimile form right off the original pulp pages!<\/p>\n

Girasol Collectables is pleased to announce their upcoming hardcover project, which will be the Weird Writings of HP Lovecraft<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’ll be similar in format to their REH books; facsimile scans right from the original pages, with no edits or reset text, containing all of HPL’s material from the original run of WEIRD TALES.<\/p>\n

A 2 volume set, with one oversized volume to cover the bedsheet issues from 1923 and 1924, and a smaller 7×10 sized volume for the standard sized issues.<\/p>\n

Limited Edition of 200 copies. <\/small>
\nPre-release price of $150 + $10 s&h <\/small>
\nuntil Jan. 15, 2010 <\/small>(Save $25)<\/small>
\n(within North America)<\/small>
\nAfter 1\/15\/2010: $175<\/small><\/p>\n

We’ll do our best to match existing numbers for REH buyers, but can’t guarantee it; get in early for the best chance at that.
\nDue out Spring of 2010.<\/strong><\/span><\/small><\/p>\n

These are the same tales that REH read religiously from 1924-on, all in their original pulp format.<\/p>\n

Coming from PS Publishing in late 2009 is Black Wings<\/em>, edited by S.T. Joshi. The contents are as follows:<\/p>\n

  • “Pickman’s Other Model (1929)” – Caitl\u00edn R Kiernan<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Desert Dreams” – Donald R Burleson<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Engravings” – Joseph S Pulver, Sr.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Copping Squid” – Michael Shea<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Passing Spirits” – Sam Gafford<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “The Broadsword” – Laird Barron<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Usurped” – William Browning Spencer<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Denker’s Book” – David J Schow<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Inhabitants of Wraithwood” – W H Pugmire<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “The Dome” – Mollie L Burleson<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Rotterdam” – Nicholas Royle<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Tempting Providence” – Jonathan Thomas<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Howling in the Dark” – Darrell Schweitzer<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “The Truth about Pickman” – Brian Stableford<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Tunnels” – Philip Haldeman<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Violence, Child of Trust” – Michael Cisco<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Lesser Demons” – Norman Partridge<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “An Eldritch Matter” – Adam Niswander<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • “Susie” – Jason Van Hollander<\/strong><\/li>\n

    Personally, I’m looking forward to reading (or rereading)\u00a0the Pugmire, Pulver,\u00a0Stableford and Shea stories. Besides being good horror authors, they’re also REH fans, from what I gather. All in all, it looks to be a good anthology. \u00a0According to Martin Andersson, there will be a tale from Ramsey Campbell (another long-time Howard-head) included.<\/p>\n

    Speaking of Michael Shea<\/a>… Besides having “Copping Squid” included in the anthology\u00a0above,\u00a0Shea’s story\u00a0also appears\u00a0(obviously enough)\u00a0in Copping Squid\u00a0and Other Mythos Tales<\/a><\/em> from Perilous Press. This collection of Shea’s Mythos tales looks first-rate and has been a long time coming.<\/p>\n

    \"shea-squid\"<\/p>\n

    Shea made his bones (and won a World Fantasy award)\u00a0writing Vancean yarns about his thief among thieves, Nifft the Lean. Nifft always had more than a bit of a Howardian (and Klarkash-Tonian<\/a>)\u00a0cachet about him, to my mind.\u00a0During the last twenty years, however, Shea has been turning\u00a0his talents\u00a0more towards finely-crafted (and disturbing)\u00a0stories of Lovecraftian horror primarily set in his home-town of San Francisco. Having read “Fat-Face,” I look forward to diving into the rest of this collection.<\/p>\n

    Shea is also featured in Ellen Datlow’s Lovecraft Unbound<\/em>.\"lovecraft_unbound\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
