Award-winning poet Kyla Lee Ward invites you to whistle past the graveyard and get on your dancing shoes Inspired by the fourteenth century "Danse Macabre" (the Dance of Death), The Macabre Modern transcends time and updates for contemporary readers the allegorical, medieval concept of the universality of death. Defy death with the doctor. Mourn with the soldier. Indulge in the rich, weird traditions of Ancient Egypt and the Victorians, as you trip over the unspeakable at your own front door. Chuckle at the grotesque and the fallible but remember--the last laugh will be on you With a sharp wit, compelling satire, and fervent, feverish imagination, Ward generates fiendishly compelling vignettes of the human drama, and offers a profound reflection on life. "Have your absinthe glass and your favourite memento mori at hand as you savour this, Ward's breathtaking new volume of vers fantastique." Leigh Blackmore, editor Terror Australis. "What a great collection, fantastically illustrated by the author." Marge Simon, Science Fiction Poetry Association (SFPA) Grand Master. "Kyla Ward's poetry is accessible, immediate, gripping. And she is bold enough to use traditional rhyme." Peter Cannon, Senior Reviews Editor Publishers Weekly (New York). "Kyla Lee Ward puts satisfying meat on the Gothic's bones. A must for aficionados of literary dark verse." Ann K. Schwader, SFPA Grand Master, Rhysling winner, and HWA Bram Stoker finalist. "With each new work she produces, Kyla Lee Ward makes clear why she should be regarded as one of the preeminent exemplars of contemporary weird poetry." S. T. Joshi, multiple award-winning literary critic, author I Am Providence, and editor Supernatural Literature of the World.

Fifteen Years of Hippocampus Press

This volume contains the weird stories of May Sinclair (1863-1946), a British writer whose many novels and tales established her as a leading figure in English literature in her time. Her two collections of weird tales, Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor and Other Stories (1931), contain a number of works that feature her central literary concerns: an emphasis on interpersonal relationships and an intense focus on the shifting psychological states of her characters. Sinclair utilized such central weird motifs as the ghost, the revenant, and psychic transference to underscore her keen insight into human frailty. The Classics of Gothic Horror series seeks to reprint novels and stories from the leading writers of weird fiction over the past two centuries or more. Ever since the Gothic novels of the late 18th century, weird fiction has been a slender but provocative contribution to weird fiction. Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, the Victorian ghost story writers, the "titans" of the early twentieth century (Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft), the Weird Tales writers, and many others contributed to the development and enrichment of weird fiction as a literary genre, and their work deserves to be enshrined in comprehensive, textually accurate editions.

Over the past two decades, Hippocampus Press has emerged as the leading publisher of works relating to H. P. Lovecraft. It has, in fact, published the entirety of Lovecraft's work in definitive editions-fiction, poetry, essays, and letters. In addition, it has published numerous volumes of criticism and biography, from S. T. Joshi's I Am Providence to the scholarship of Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., Donald R. Burleson, Steven J. Mariconda, and many others, and many scintillating volumes of modern Lovecraftian fiction. But there is far more to Hippocampus Press than this. It has also published the collected poetry of Clark Ashton Smith along with several volumes of Smith's letters. Its Classics of Gothic Horror series has brought back into print many leading authors of weird fiction from a century or more ago. Poetry, both old and new, has been a special focus of the press, including classic poets (George Sterling, Donald Wandrei, Leah Bodine Drake) and such leading contemporary poets as Ann K. Schwader, Adam Bolivar, K. A. Opperman, and Ashley Dioses. Hippocampus has issued several important journals in the field, from the Lovecraft Annual to Dead Reckonings to Spectral Realms to the newly established Penumbra. This volume chronicles in meticulous detail all the publications of Hippocampus Press since its founding in 2000. Complete lists of contents are provided, and notes on the compilation of the books are provided by the publisher and in-house editor. All in all, this compilation is a complete guide to a pioneering small press in the weird fiction field.
For more than fifty years, Ken Faig, Jr. has been a leading scholar and researcher on the life and work of H. P. Lovecraft. Over the decades he has made landmark discoveries that have clarified many aspects of Lovecraft's life, ancestry, and the influence of his personal experiences upon his weird fiction. In this new volume of essays, Faig continues his pioneering work in illuminating the obscurer corners of the people and places associated with the writer from Providence, R.I. A long piece on Lovecraft's English ancestry-his paternal forbears came from the county of Devonshire, in the southwest corner of England-traces the Lovecraft or Lovecroft name back to the 15th century. An essay on Lovecraft's uncle by marriage, Edward F. Gamwell, clarifies how this figure influenced his nephew's early writing. Faig also writes detailed histories of Lovecraft's first two residences in Providence, 454 and 598 Angell Street. Amateur journalism was a lifelong hobby of Lovecraft's, and Faig has done extensive research on the members of the Providence Amateur Press Club and on his occasional nemesis, the literary radical Elsie Alice Gidlow. Faig also directs attention to the interplay between Lovecraft's life and work as exhibited in such tales as The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and "The Dreams in the Witch House." Ken Faig, Jr. uses all the research tools at his disposal-from early maps of Providence to census records to tidbits found in Lovecraft's extant letters-to paint a fuller portrait of Lovecraft and his world, enriching our understanding of the man and his work.

In less than a decade, Katherine Kerestman has established herself as a vibrant new voice in weird fiction. Drawing upon the classic work of Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, and others, she infuses her writing with lush, richly textured prose, a keen sensitivity to the strange and bizarre, and an ability to transform venerable motifs into something new and fresh.Kerestman has made a specialty of the short-short story-a most difficult form to master. In this volume of more than thirty tales, sketches, and vignettes, she writes of vampires, witches, the mysterious antics of cats, and other spectral creatures that disrupt the fabric of our commonplace existence.Houses, castles, and other dwellings are of particular fascination to Kerestman, and some of her most gripping tales are set in domiciles that should be havens of security for their occupants but prove to be very different, and very dangerous, places.
