UK HARDBACK. Light speckling top edge, trace of spine slant. DJ in Clear, ARCHIVAL MYLAR WRAP. NO remainder mark. "As black and shiny as beetle-shell, this original anthology of new weirdness is an expressway to your skull. Sixteen tales of haunting nastiness gathered together around a common thematic nucleus provided by Ray Russell's independent press, erstwhile specialists in beautiful limited edition texts from the more restrained horror archives of Arthur Machen. The key here is probably Peter Vincent's story Completion. It recreates Machen's slightly formal prose style to uncoil the consequences of a bookish Machen collector locating the rarest of all Machen artefacts, a poem called Eleusinia printed in 1881 (only two copies known to have survived). Vincent's tale is wistfully reflective, about a solitary man of bibliophile obsessions; a literary pleasure about literary pleasures. Ramsey Campbell also develops the 'enjoyably creepy' atmosphere of low-key unease where darkness shifts on the landing and shapes move behind the mirror. But it takes Simon Clark to effectively up-gear the Tartarus ethos and aim it straight at the centre of your brain. In his Portrait of a Girl in a Graveyard he addresses the reader directly. You are the troubled adolescent with the Kurt Cobain poster on your wall, You swim through a mire of 300 year old coffins so tactile you feel their chill, You draw your own severed head from the deep buried black sack. Simon is less overtly concerned with literary antecedents, and more effective because of it. He switches the anthology's centre firmly from the hungover spectres of the bookish past to the more fractured terrors of the now. From there Rhys Hughes adds an allegorical medieval fantasy in Poe's Masque of the Red Death tradition, located in 'the dusk between ecstasy and terror.' Clare Johnson is trapped in a surrealist painting, Dale Nelson deals dust-bowl dust demons with skewed Biblical subtexts, and John Preece is on a supernatural voyage into an African Heart of Darkness." | SHIPS AIRMAIL INTERNATIONALLY!
