Just received this. It looks very promising. And Miskatonic River Press has the best logo of any publisher since Arkham House.

I heard it would have benefited from a proofreader?

Have you read it Gary? I wonder who said that.

What I've read so far has been fine, Gary, and I know the book was proofed before publication. One of the stories is written in a Bukowskian style (I wonder whose tale that might be?) without conventional punctuation, and it's likely someone has taken that as proof that the book is riddled with errors.

I'm rather surprised to find you, as a small press publisher, passively echoing a criticism of that kind. Would you like to see second-hand criticisms of your books draped over the internet like football scarves picked up from the terraces after a match?

I was just saying. Didn't expect to get lynched. Sorry for any offence.

Zed, if you're reading this, your take on Bukowski is really uncannily good. I have mixed feelings about him – admiration for his literary skill and brilliant phrasing combined with anger at his self-absorbed persona. The way he keeps writing in high-profile publications about how he wants to be left alone reminds me of Jordan holding a press conference to ask the press to get off her case. But what your story has done is use the weird to cut through his egotistical routines in just the way that his own imagination does, only with a different focus. One myth breaking into another. If tribute anthologies have a purpose it's to facilitate this kind of literary cross-pollination.

Gary, sorry if I over-reacted. 'I heard' always makes me jumpy, especially online. I've heard the moon landing was faked.

Yeah. I heard that too. It's not his though apparently. He keeps it in the freezer.

Ally,

Do you know if anyone is stocking it in the uk? Postage is nearly as much as the book!

I dare say Andy Richards will have it as well. And maybe, just maybe, the larger branches of Waterstones. But most of them haven't discovered Solaris yet, let alone US publishers. Do you remember when new books came to us via bookshops? That was another world, as distant as Carcosa.

Andy Richards has cut down on fiction acquisitions. Try Fantastic Literature, which has picked up some of the slack.

Cheers Ally!

Fantastic literature didn't have it, their stores must be full of all those unsold Gary Fry titles...

But they sent it via Buenos Aires, of course. Because they can.

New review...

'A Season in Carcosa” gravitates around the same basic ideas and concepts, the trademarks of the original “The King in Yellow”. But it is only normal since it is a testimonial to Robert W. Chambers and his crafted supernatural tale. The 21 authors signing the stories of the anthology compel visions and fevered dreams tinted with yellow madness. There are a couple of these delirious delusions that didn’t stick long into memory but most of the stories are haunting, sinister and chilling, leaving a dreary mark on the reader. Plenty of these tales are original, play with new elements while exploring the common ones and inject fresh life into the features of Robert W. Chambers’ “The King in Yellow”. It is difficult to create a perfect themed anthology, but Joseph S. Pulver, Sr.’s “A Season in Carcosa” comes pretty close to it.'
