NEWS: Swan River Press publish Brian Catling collection, 'A Mystery of Remnant and Other Absences'.
Following warm on the heels of their 2020 publication of the very excellent Brian Catling  novella, 'Munky', Swan River Press, have just announced the publication of a collection of Catling's short stories.

Limited to 500 copies and selling fast this is an unexpected chance to revisit, perhaps for the last time, the imagination of this singular and sadly missed artist and author.

From the website...

“The death itself was not a bodily thing.”

A ghost is an absence defined by its presence, or else a presence defined by its absence. The work of Brian Catling is filled with such visions, intrusions on the threshold of our world and the next. The stories collected within are fragments of a singular imagination, portals into worlds populated by dog-headed giants and reanimated bog bodies, spirits both beastly and mundane. These are tales about visionaries and mystics, about the need to venture into blurry territories of sight in which angels, ghosts and memories merge and reform. Together they showcase the distinctive voice underlying the very best of Catling’s work.

Includes three postcards with photos by Iain Sinclair and texts by Alan Moore.
