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 -

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.

When Thomas Ashley is invited to accompany the archaeological
expedition of Sir Harold Gregory, he travels beyond the Great Cataract

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

already acclaimed for editing numerous SF anthologies, selected the
contents for a final ?retrospective? gathering of first rate, exemplary
SF tales, but never completed the project. Now, with an Introduction
and Authors? notes provided by Joseph Wrzos, NEW HORIZONS finally
appears. Among the now celebrated pulp SF authors represented are
Murray Leinster, Clark Ashton Smith, Donald Wandrei, and Frank Belknap
Long. As a special feature, the contents include ?The Countries of the
Sea,? a newly discovered SF novelet by August Derleth and Mark Schorer,
published for the first time.

Voyages by

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."

"Some of the writers August Derleth published during his 32-year reign
at Arkham House have become legends among collectors and connoisseurs
of weird fiction. Others have faded into unfortunate obscurity. Peter
Ruber now brings 21 writers to life in detailed biographical essays
that document little-known events through exhaustive research, and
their long corresponde nce with August Derleth. These essays and an
extensive introduction provide a rare and sometimes controversial
insiders history of Arkham House, in which the editor also challenges
some of the myths perpetuated by misinformed critics over the last
three decades. With the addition of 21 rare stories and letters (most
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, Seabury Quinn, Vincent
Starrett, E. Hoffmann Price, Carl Jacobi, Donald Wandrei, Ramsey
Campbell, and many others. Includes two rare photos by Harold Gauer and

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
