Stalking Through the Jungles of Night
Centipede Press is putting forth a limited (300 copies) edition of Peter Straub’s KOKO. KOKO is one of my favorite novels and I was honored to write the afterword for this edition. It’s signed by Straub, illustrator Howie Michaels, and yours truly. I don’t know if Centipede is taking pre orders directly, but I note it’s listed on Amazon as an early 2010 release.
Starred Review for Lovecraft Unbound
PW gave Ellen Datlow’s Lovecraft Unbound a starred review. From the review:
“The 16 new and four reprint stories…all capture what Dale Bailey praises as horror master H.P. Lovecraft’s gift for depicting the universe as “inconceivably more vast, strange, and terrifying than mere human beings can possibly imagine.” Bailey and Nathan Ballingrud, in “The Crevasse,” evoke this alien sensibility through an Antarctic expedition’s glimpses of an astonishingly ancient prehuman civilization preserved in the polar ice. Laird Barron’s “Catch Hell” depicts a Lovecraft-type backwoods community in the grip of a profoundly creepy occult mythology.” –PW
