NEW C93 SINGLE = HappyBirthDayToMe!

 

All the sleeves have now been sent to the company which cuts, folds, and glues the covers to make them into the final sleeves. The labels and inserts are now being printed. This has taken longer than we thought because of the great complexity of the ScreenPrinting. Our printer Patty has had to use a technique that he has never used before, and he only found out this would be necessary as the first 2 attempts to screen the covers were unsuccessful, and the covers had to be recycled. We now expect to receive everything back, and start posting out, by the end of this month March 2020

 

 

MY SPELL UP TO ALEPH AND OTHER PAINTINGS

IF A STAR TURNS INTO ASHES is the ForeDream link between THE LIGHT IS LEAVING US ALL and the ForthComing C93 album. IF A STAR TURNS INTO ASHES is released as a 12" FullColour PictureDisc on April 23 to Hello C93’s NYC Channellings on April 23, 24, and 25. 1,000 copies of IF A STAR TURNS INTO ASHES have been made, 500 of which reproduce one set of paintings by myself on them, and the other 500 reproducing a different set of my paintings. The music is identical on both editions. Both forms of IF A STAR TURNS INTO ASHES will first be made available at our Brooklyn NYC Channelling. We will also soon add copies to our shop, to ensure that those who do not attend the NYC Channellings but they will not be sent out made available until C93 returns from NYC. IF A STAR TURNS INTO ASHES will not be released on CD.

 

My new anthology, THERE IS A GRAVEYARD THAT DWELLS IN MAN, published by Strange Attractor Press on June 7, is the second volume in my and our series of the (primarily) SuperNatural stories that have most moved me, and also influenced my work as C93. The beautiful HardBack edition, limited to 500 signed copies, which is only available from Strange Attractor, comes with an accompanying paperback volume of AP Baker’s A College Mystery (1918)—one of the most beautiful and moving and original ghost stories I have ever read—considered to be so realistically written at the time of publication that it was long thought to be an authentic account of an actual haunting. PreOrders are now being taken here. A PaperBack edition will also be available.

I am OverMoon as FlySong and Tiles to copy below Strange Attractor’s publicity ChitChat about it.

There Is A Graveyard That Dwells In Man

Edited by David Tibet
HB £40 / PB £17.99
440pp
148mm x 210mm
ISBN: 9781907222610

Available in two editions:

A ClothBound HardBack special edition of There Is A Graveyard That Dwells In Man will be available to purchase for £40.00 directly from Strange Attractor Press. Featuring a distinctive cover design and original endpapers by David Tibet, this beautifully-bound book—limited to 500 copies—will be shipped with a separate paperback volume of AP Baker’s astonishing supernatural novella A College Mystery (1918) with covers designed by David Tibet.

A mass-market PaperBack edition of the collection, replete with French Flaps, will also be available to purchase through Strange Attractor Press, MIT Press, and all good bookshops for the price of £17.99.

An arcane compendium of strange fiction and hallucinatory tales, There Is A Graveyard That Dwells In Man collects chilling stories by renowned innovators of the weird and by many little-known and underrepresented or forgotten scribes of the macabre.

Selected by artist, writer, and musician David Tibet, this widely-sourced collection of supernatural rarities continues the bibliographic exhumation initiated with The Moons At Your Door (Strange Attractor Press, 2016), offering lyrical portals into worlds of strange beauty, elegant unease, and creeping decadence.

Authors include: HR Wakefield, HD Everett, LA Lewis, AC Benson, Thomas Ligotti, Lady Dilke, Arthur Machen, Collette De Curzon, Nugent Barker, Edna W. Underwood, EF Benson, Oliver Onions, AM Burrage, John Gower, Algernon Blackwood, Amyas Northcote, LP Hartley, Edith Wharton, RH Benson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Richard Middleton, and Walter De La Mare.

The volume also includes a new introductory essay by David Tibet, incorporating original translations made by him from Akkadian. Comprehensive biographical and publication histories for the stories, and their authors, are provided by Mark Valentine, the noted scholar of bibliographic arcana.

There Is a Graveyard That Dwells in Man offers an unnerving, serpentine tributary to the canon of supernatural literature.

COTTONS: ANOTHER MASTERPIECE BY JIM PASCOE & HEIDI ARNHOLD

Last year, or sometime never, I utterly recommended the astonishing The Secret Of The Wind, the first book in the COTTONS series by my friend Jim Pascoe and his wonderful collaborator on their series, Heidi Arnhold. So I was OverMoon to have received the second instalment, another classic and utter jewel, The White Carrot. Anyone who has read The Secret Of The Wind will already have acquired The White Carrot. This is a perfect series and I recommend it utterly and always ForEver Amen—if you haven’t read them, please do. You can find more about it here.

 

 

Thank you all always, and HappyBirthDayToMe...
