NEW TITLE NEWS: GHOSTLY QUARTERS

GHOSTLY QUARTERS ~ C.E. WARD

Sarob Press is spookily delighted to present a new volume of ghost stories by C.E. Ward. Stories of dark deeds, supernatural evils, weird black magic and of terrible and dread-filled ghostly vengeance. C.E. Ward is, possibly, one of the most Jamesian of authors writing today (he is a life-long admirer of M.R. James and of all things darkly supernatural and ghostly), and his stories are replete with well researched historical detail and a brooding, chilling and (dare I say again) ghostly atmosphere… so here are four wholly original and all new lengthy tales (the four ‘quarters’) to best enjoy, perhaps, late at night (preferably, if one’s eyes allow, by candlelight, before a roaring log fire and with a glass of something rather particular to hand). Mr Ward is the author of the Sarob Press volumes, Vengeful Ghosts, Seven Ghosts and One Other, Malevolent Visitants, Legionnaire and An Unheavenly Host.

Stories:  “Promenade Walk (19,259 words)” “Some Episodes of a Family History (16,761 words)” “Where His Feet Pass (17,725 words)” & “Warlock’s End (19,225 words)”

[All four stories are previously unpublished and were written expressly for this volume]

GHOSTLY QUARTERS is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.  Bound in Silver Cialux Italian cloth/linnen, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine, Quality Enso Creamy Text Paper, Marble Design Endpapers, Section (Thread) Sewn binding, Head/Tailbands and Ribbon Bookmarker.

Approx 176pp including prelims etc.

NEW TITLE NEWS ~ NOTES FROM THE SHADOWS

CHRISTOPHER HARMAN ~ NOTES FROM THE SHADOWS

Creepy, dank canal pathways, bleak countryside and urban decay, Jamesian terrors, the terrible dark power of music, black magic and weird folk horrors... nine stories to chill the bones... (eight were originally published between 2001 and 2023 and the novella ‘The Notes’ was written expressly and is wholly original to this volume).

Mr Harman’s characters appear doomed, unable to escape the creeping, dreadful horrors that pursue, haunt or lurk in the shadows…

Paul Lowe has (once again) provided a quite exceptional and brilliant dust jacket painting…

Stories: “Windsheer” “Wet Jenny” “Cold Air from the East” “Apple Pie and Sulphur” “Laughing Matter” “Black Water” “A True Yorkshireman” “The Abbey Hoard” and “The Notes”

NEW TITLE NEWS ~ THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF LANDSCAPE FIGURES

THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF LANDSCAPE FIGURES

Once again Rosemary Pardoe will edit and introduce what (she says) might be her final Ghosts & Scholars anthology (the seventh!). A good place to finish with the volume Ro has always wanted to do.

Thirteen devilishly eerie tales where the authors have taken English landscapes and the strange figures, images and patterns often depicted and carved thereon as inspiration for truly uncanny and weird histories… Six of the stories have been selected from (mainly) small press publications and seven are brand new and were written expressly for this volume (including one by the editor herself ~ the first Jane Bradshawe story in almost forty years).

The reprints:  “The Madness of a Chalk Giant” by Colin Insole. “Figures on a Hillside” by Steve Duffy. “The Pharisees’ Glass” by R.B. Russell. “Chalk” by Katherine Haynes. “The Regulars” by David Longhorn. “All I Ever See” by Mike Chinn.

The ‘new’ stories:  “The White Round” by John Howard. “Lob Top” by Christopher Harman. “And Then There’s Place-Name Studies” by John Whitbourn. “The Scouring” by Carole Tyrrell. “Dyrehill Park” by C.E. Ward. “The Lickey Beast” by David A. Sutton and “The Lady and the Unicorn” by Mary Ann Allen (aka Rosemary Pardoe).

Paul Lowe has (once again) provided a quite exceptional and brilliant dust jacket painting and a pretty scary black & white frontispiece.

THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF LANDSCAPE FIGURES is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover.

Bound in Green Cialux Italian cloth/linnen, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine, Quality Enso Creamy Text Paper, Marble Design Endpapers, Section (Thread) Sewn binding, Head/Tailbands and Ribbon Bookmarker.
