Great Reading!
From the Publisher:
“Other Worlds Than Ours” is Nelson Bond's 3rd book for Arkham House. It follows
1968’s “Nightmares and Daydreams” and 2002’s “The Far Side of Nowhere.” Both rank among
Arkham House’s fastest sellers, proving once again that Nelson Bond's reputation as a
writer of fantasy fiction continues long after he ceased writing for publication. This
collection draws upon previously uncollected SF tales from the 1940s. The majority are
hard to find novelettes originally published in Blue Book, Astounding, Thrilling Wonder
Stories, Planet Stories and Amazing Stories. There is also a complete novel, the exciting
“Gods of the Jungle,” which appeared in the June and July 1942 issues of Amazing Stories.
An American pilot during World War II is forced to land in the jungle where he discovers
an ancient temple that leads him to an ancient civilization founded by visitors to Earth.
The remaining 12 stories are grouped according to their subjects and cover travel to remote
and distant planets in the universe, where travelers meet unusual adventures and sometimes
terrifying creatures who inhabit remote planets and moons. “Martian Caravan” and “Wanderers
of the Wolf Moon” are two rare and hard to find tales that will haunt you for a long time.
Arkham House has already contracted for another Nelson Bond book, “Probability Zero*, It
will appear in the next few years and will publish many of his previously forgotten fantasy
tales, and another long-lost novel. Jacket Art by Alan Fore Cover Design by JenGraph -

Biography, Brand New, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Horror
From the Publisher:
In the years following H.P. Lovecraft's premature death in 1937, many of his
friends and admirers were moved to write down their personal impressions of the man.
These reminiscences appeared mainly in obscure amateur journals or in such early
Arkham House volumes as Marginalia and Something About Cats. Peter Cannon, author
of the critical and biographical study of H.P. Lovecraft (1989), has now gathered
in one large volume all the major shorter memoirs, as well as a selection of early
criticism and some rare contemporary glimpses from the amateur press before Lovecraft
made his mark in Weird Tales. Here are such classic tributes as Winfield Townley
Scott's His Own Most Fantastic Creation and W. Paul Cook's complete In Memoriam,
together with more recent accounts such as Kenneth Sterling's Caverns Measureless to
Man and Mara Kirk Hart's fascinating portrait of the Kalem Club as revealed through
the letters of her father. Divided into seven sections Neighbors, Amateurs, Kalems,
Ladies, Professionals, Fans, Critics, and illustrated throughout with vintage
photographs, Lovecraft Remembered brings the master fantasist alive in the words of
those who knew him best, from his former wife, Sonia Davis, to his closest friend,
Frank Belknap Long.

From the Publisher:
When Thomas Ashley is invited to accompany the archaeological expedition of Sir Harold
Gregory, he travels beyond the Great Cataract to enter a realm of endless sand,
windswept cliffs, and the Egypt of the pharaohs. The expedition is visited by a
mysterious intruder, Lucian Mallory, who lures the young scholar to his residence
in England, where Ashley learns that his host is seeking ancient Egyptian secrets of
resurrection and immortality. With the beautiful Arabella Cunningham, Ashley strives
to use this arcane knowledge to redeem the life of a present-day man but then
encounters the ultimate horror in a curse that comes down the ages to haunt the
modern world. Illustrated by Stephen E. Fabian. Well-crafted book...chilling climax...a
horror story of the old school. --Publishers Weekly Zestful ghoulishness...far livelier

remained faithful to his scientific beliefs, a seeker after truth, to the end.
Brand New Horror Fantasy Science Fiction & Fantasy
From the Publisher:
Years in preparation, this massive assemblage of Lovecraftiana is organized into nine sections, each preceded by editor S.T. Joshi s illuminating commentary; Dreams and Fancies, The Weird Fantasist, Mechanistic Materialist, Literary Critic, Political Theorist, Antiquarian Travels, Amateur Journalist, Epistolarian, and Personal. The individual works by Lovecraft--over eighty in number!-are too numerous to be listed here, but include such central statements as the Commonplace Book, History of the Necronomicon, Notes on Writing Weird Fiction, The Materialist Today, Observations on Several Parts of America, Some Notes on a Nonentity, Cats and Dogs, and much, much more. With twenty pages of documentary illustrations and photographs, and with the aggregate Joshi exegesis constituting a virtual minibiography, the Miscellaneous Writing is the most significant volume ever published by and about H.P. Lovecraft.

MacLeod, Ian R.
Voyages by Starlight
WI Arkham House 1996, ISBN: 0870541714, Illustrated by Jainschigg, Nickolas
269 pages; Fine/Fine. New Fantastic DJ by Nicholas Jainschigg. From Sixty Years
of Arkham House: "2542 copies printed. MacLeod (b. 1956) is a English author; this
is his first published volume, consisting of stories published in horror and
science fiction magazines between 1990 and 1995." From Publishers Weekly:"In
stride with MacLeod's haunting first novel (The Great Wheel; Forecasts, June 30)
comes this first collection of his acclaimed short fiction. The 10 stories
included here combine elements of horror, fantasy, SF and realistic fiction as
expressed by an assured literary voice. Settings range from the future
("Starship Day"; "The Perfect Stranger"; "Papa") to a present-day world identical
to ours except for the existence of dream telepathy ("Ellen O'Hara," a story of
the Irish Troubles). "Grownups" presents a culture of three sexes (men, women
and uncles), and "The Giving Mouth" takes place in a fantasy landscape of
mining, coal and smoke, where knights in animated armor ride steamhorses made
of "liveiron." In all the tales, the fantastic blends seamlessly with the
realistic. Above all, the stories focus on people, relationships and the human
condition, which MacLeod imagines as melancholy and fatalistic ("Marnie") or
horrific ("1/72nd Scale"). MacLeod's originality enriches and enlivens the genre,
and his fiction--though often grim--should be read by everyone looking for
something that is truly out of the ordinary."

published here for the first time), the 445 pages of ARKHAMS MASTERS OF HORROR
form a book within a book. This unique and important anthology is required
reading for everyone who enjoys weird fiction, and is interested in learning
more about Arkham House, its founder, and the writers who made the era from
1939 to 1971 one of the most exciting in the history of specialty press
publishing. Featured writers include, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith,
Robert Bloch, Henry S. Whitehead, Robert E. Howard, H. Russell Wakefield,

Reviews:
"From F. Paul Wilson and Bruce Sterling to Kim Newman and Esther Friesner, a
dazzling array of 18 superbly talented writers is represented in CTHULHU 2000. The
range of Lovecraft-inspired stories is as impressive as is the storytelling talents
of the contributing authors. From Fred Chappel's 'The Adder' to Gahan Wilson's
'H.P.L.,' to Ramsey Campbell's 'The Face at Pine Dunes'...is a 'must' for every
fan of Lovecraftian-style horror fantasy!" -- The Bookwatch

brought together in one volume. The complete contents are: The Shadows on the
Wall; The Hall Bedroom; Luella Miller; The Vacant Lot; A Far-Away Melody; A
