I was looking through the Wordsworth editions site, looking to find the original asking price of fThe Bishop of Hell by Marjorie Bowen, but they seem to not have that availible anymore, and the same thing goes for the Caldecott. I wouldn't mind if I could find one mention of these books having...

Sadly, even though I was very optimistic about Wakefield's work coming out soon, it's been more then four years since Wakefield, along with L T C Rolt, won Wordsworth's poll for in-copyright authors which was supposed to determine two authors who'se work they'd publish. Since then nothing has...

And yet over four years later and still one cannot find a complete version of Horrid Mysteries online. Great work maintaining and updating this JD. You show dedication that not many would for a project like this.

Finished Huysmans' Là-bas. I have to say I am dissapointed. After the ominous, if a bit hazy, way it was brought up in Harvest in Poland, I was expecting a tour de force of the senses, but instead the whole thing feels like the first half of a novel, who'se latter half somehow got lost and so...

I actually set out to find just the first story, seeing that I remember the Hippocampus Press edition of The Metal Monster state it was also heavily edited by Merritt when revised, but have been unable to find it, if memory serves. All I ever found was the revied "complete" novel version...

After finishing The Dark Domain by Stefan Grabinski, and From Door to Door by Bernard Capes (I left the fist story unfinished for two years, so one day I just came back and decided I'm gonna finish the whole book now), I finally got around to Là-bas by Huysmans. I've been interested in this one...

Sorry to bump this thread but that would be a Kindle-only thing would it ? Curse my lack of modern mobile electronic devices, minus the thing I'm sitting at at present. Also returning to something I said back in 2010 about Wordsworth's promises to publish Wakefield made back in 09 ? It's 2013...

I've pondering this for quite some time: what is the story behind the unidentified "shade" that Raoul and the Persian meet in Chapter 20 who is apparently "much worse" then the theater police, whom the author openly refuses to idenfity, giving vague hints as to why in a lenghty footnote. Is...

Have recently finished Geoffrey Dennis' Harvest in Poland. A real interesting bit but Also some readers might get discouraged by the fact that within the first three or so chapters Dennis has an extremely "christian" passage, constantly reffering to God, his glory, praying etc. in the most...

Finaly The Death of Mark by Spencer arrived today, and it still has the dust jacket too.

Continuing the Geoffrey book, suddenly the oddly modernist witty tone is giving place to a realy old fashioned Christianity-is-salvation-pray-to-the-lord type of writing at places and I'm afraid it might turn out to be a dissapointment once we get to the cultist bits, but I hope not.

They do ? Well that doesn't help me that much because the postage from the UK tends be much higher then the UK postage. So often that won't realy apply.

I've used Abebooks for years, even now and I've only had one book "lost", bought it again and eventualy got the original copy a few weeks later (long after the original should have arrived) and once where the cheapest copy of a book I was after was suddenly found out to no longer be with the...

Thing is, I've run across a site with a ton of absolutely negative ratings, with two or so positive ones, and more positive ones to negative elsewhere. I'd just like to know if anyone here has any experience with them, because I kinda don't want to waste my coupon that I now have.

Have moved on to Dennis Geoffrey's Harvest in Poland, which I've als acquired after years of wanting to get it. Am not a great way into it yet due to time constraints so I can't say much about it atm.

Journalism ? Now I'm interested, as that would probably hold up better then certain other weird writer's contemporary humour writings. And I didn't know Blackwood wrote any novels of interest ?

Has anyone ever attempted to collect all of Blackwood ? Some stuff he did is public domain and other stuff is accessible but then there's things like The Doll and One Other from Arkham House. And I suppose 25 dollars for the cheapest version is alright, I have seen much worse, but a Works...

I have been trying for about a week now to order R.E.Spencer's The Death of Mark for my long past birthday. Five days later the folks from abebooks go "Sorry we sold the book already, here's a refund". I go to Amazon. I find one used copy for a reasonable price. I order it. And today I get...

Based on the info I got from Tartarus, he was a translator and poet, who also wrote two supernatural novels. http://freepages.pavilion.net/tartarus/o23.htm

Finaly finished Ransome's The Elixir of Life today. Certainly a great work of it's sort, and it does benefit to be read after Lady in the Hippocampus press release, as the ending to Ransome's tale is more uplifting.
