About This Item
North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press, 2020. First edition thus, Hardcover, SIGNED, Fine in Fine dust jacket,,. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2020. First edition thus, Hardcover, SIGNED, Fine in Fine dust jacket,, 219 pp.<br/> This edition limited to 300 copies. "In The Nightfarers, you will discover the secret of a remote Lincolnshire island, visit the last official of a seventeenth century company of explorers, and watch for the light from a Moorish heliograph tower. You'll encounter a book that speaks for itself, books that aren't quite books, and a rare book that really draws you in. There's also the reincarnation of a decadent occult detective and another, reluctant sleuth who investigates an unusual printing press. Other stories are set in the afterglow of old Empires in interwar Europe, in the same milieu as the author's work in Secret Europe and Inner Europe (shared volumes with John Howard). They depict apocalyptic dawns, strange faiths, the stare of stone masks, a Prague actuary, an astrologer in Trieste, a scholar of lost languages.<br /> This new edition of The Nightfarers, the first for over ten years, includes twelve of the original stories and adds two more from the same period."
