"In an East Prussian manor house, a Bohemian library, a Bulgarian railway station; in a Venetian citadel, a Breton harbour, a city in the Caucasus, characters encounter not only the vicissitudes of history but also the subtle influences of the uncanny. As they face war, revolution and upheaval, or the quieter encroachments of decay, these haunted figures must find their way both in a changed world and in mysterious overlapping otherworlds. Inner Europe collects thirteen stories, eleven of them newly written for this book. This shared volume follows the two authors' well-received Secret Europe and takes the reader once again on strange journeys to forgotten or little-known places and peculiar historical byways."

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).

North Yorkshire: Persepolis Records, 2020. LP Record, New,. North Yorkshire: Persepolis Records:, 2020. LP Record, New, "Atmospheric music inspired by writer Arthur Machen and occultist A.E. Waite. Phantom Cities is a new album of noir soundscapes with echoes ranging from Labradford to Duane Eddy. Join The Sodality of the Shadows as they walk in Black Raven Alley, visit the Strange Houses of Sleep, hear the Tales of the Assassins, and stray in terrain where the Other Stations are encountered. Taking their name from Machen and Waite's mysterious early 20th century society, The Sodality brings together a group of musicians, artists and writers exploring a rich world of myths and symbols." Please note: the shrinkwrap on these records has been opened, I believe to insert additional material.

"The wooden door had swollen in the rain and the paint, once sunshine-golden, had peeled away, leaving large patches of streaked bare wood. He pushed hard and it grudgingly opened. A thick odour descended upon him, the same one that seemed to linger in every second hand record shop he had been in: an acrid mixture of patchouli, sandalwood and sweat. Except that this one had another sharp tang to it, really rich and rank: French fags, he guessed, like those fat cylinders of black tobacco he'd once smoked himself. He nodded at the counter: he hardly needed to look who would be there, as they were nearly always the same; men with grey flesh that seldom saw daylight, a large never-quite-white t-shirt from concerts ten… Read More

First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, Limited, New, 102 pp.<br/> This edition limited to 199 numbered copies. "When I first visited the garden, there was a piece of ragged topiary, once carefully shaped but now left untrimmed. It stood, oddly on its own, on a patch of tired lawn. It did not seem to have been fashioned like a chess piece, or a fabulous beast, or a pyramid or a cone or a toadstool, as such carved greenery often is. It was hard indeed to make out what it was originally meant to be, but as I gazed at it I thought it looked like a key. There was a sort of oval head at the top, a thin column and then some shapes towards the base which might be the slots to fit the wards of a lock. So then I fell to thinking about a mystery which would only be solved when someone noticed this topiary and had the same idea about it. Suppose they made a sketch of the little tree, copying it… Read More

New York: Hippocampus Press, 2019. Trade paperback, New,. Daniel V. Sauer. New York: Hippocampus Press:, 2019. Trade paperback, New, 411 pp. Cover artwork by: Daniel V. Sauer "This important critical anthology offers over 20 essays on Machen, many of them newly written for the book. Contributors discuss the full range of Machen's writing, including his association with Decadence, his incantatory prose style, his evocative writing about London and Gwent, his interest in ritual magic, alchemy and the occult, his Celtic Christianity, and his sense of the numinous. As well as a full account of Machen's period of peak artistry in the Nineties, the collection also covers his neglected later work. He never lost his deep interest in folklore and popular customs, eccentric characters and curious historical episodes, and contributors show how these continued to inform his work right up until his last writings."

What was the slight flaw in the idea of racing cheetahs at the White City? What was the date confidently given for apocalypse at a Somerset railway station book-stall? Who had visions of Atlantis in an old house in Nightingale Lane? These and many other enigmas are discussed in this new book of essays from Mark Valentine. As in his previous well-received collections, you will also be offered suggestions for recondite reading in overlooked books that ought to be better known: an interplanetary fantasy by a Welsh squire; a timeslip into a mysterious England by a priest once called the original of Dorian Gray; an avant-garde novel about a tea-party and the Holy Grail. Whether he is discussing old… Read More
