The first is the latest addition to their 'Tales of the Weird' imprint with the cosmic horror of, 'Medusa: a Novel of Mystery, Ecstasy and Strange Horror' by E.H. Visiak. First published in 1929 it's the story of a mariner’s search for his missing son, a search that soon finds his ship in very strange waters.
Visiak (Edward Harold Physick) was a critic, poet and author, an authority on John Milton and a friend and champion of David Lindsay, writing the introductory note for that author's metaphysical science fiction masterpiece, 'A Voyage to Arcturus'.
Also publishing this month is the latest of their hardback 'Gilded Nightmares' imprint, 'The Dead of Summer: Strange Tales of May Eve and Midsummer', edited by Johnny Mains who's previously edited the 'Celtic Weird' book for the same series. Here he guides us through a selection of stories that reveal the wyrder side of the sunnier parts of the ritual year with stories from the likes of E. F. Benson, Joan Aiken and a host of others.
