Shameless self-promotion department: Books do furnish a room, and they make excellent Christmas gifts, for yourself or someone you love. Just think! They're conveniently shaped for wrapping (no awkward edges), don't need batteries, and there's no assembly required. Don't know what book to get? Then look no further! NORTHWEST PASSAGES, the World Fantasy Award-nominated collection by Barbara Roden, is available direct from the author. The hardback edition is US$25.00, and the limited lettered edition - which comes with a special chapbook containing the author's first published ghost story, 'Dead Man's Pears' - is only US$65.00 (prices do not include postage). 'Barbara Roden invokes the ghosts of M.R. James and Algernon Blackwood in a collection that will put a touch of winter in your bones and have you glancing over your shoulder when lights are low. Northwest Passages demonstrates Roden's talent for distilling the ineffable, for transferring our universal fears of darkness and isolation to the page.' Laird Barron 'First books are almost never this unsettling, this lively, this good. With Northwest Passages Barbara Roden has placed herself among the ranks of the most telling, most effective, most readable living writers of the strange and fantastic tale. "Endless Night" alone is worth the price of the book, but every story here is related with effortless-seeming skill and mastery. A wonderful and significant debut.' Peter Straub Three of the stories in the collection - 'Northwest Passages', 'Endless Night', and 'Out and Back' - have been selected for inclusion in 'Year's Best' anthologies. The collection was nominated for Best Collection at the 2010 World Fantasy Awards. But wait, there's more! As these copies are coming direct from the author, they can be personally inscribed to anyone you want (although she might not believe you have a cousin named eBay), at no extra charge. Still undecided? If you act now, the author will include, completely gratis/free, the DVD-ROM of FORGOTTEN GHOSTS, the fabulously rare booklet originally published for the Ghost Story Convention in Chester, England in 1996. The booklet contained five rare stories included by legendary editor Hugh Lamb in some of his anthologies, along with the original story introductions, new introductions by the editor, and a lengthy appreciation of Lamb and his work by Mike Ashley. The DVD-ROM includes all this material, as well as a photo gallery showcasing the cover artwork from Lamb's anthologies. It was produced for the World Horror Convention in Brighton in March 2010, and comes packaged in an attractive jacket reproducing the artwork from the original booklet. And if you order the limited lettered edition of NORTHWEST PASSAGES, the jacket of the DVD-ROM will be signed by Hugh Lamb. Our operators are standing by; just e-mail nebuly@telus.net for more information or to order a copy. | ||

Hey Barbara! While you're here - phew! - has All Hallows gone? I emailed you a few months ago but think your email address must have changed. Glad you dropped in! |
