American Morons
Глен Хиршберг 0.0
From the author of the acclaimed novel THE SNOWMAN'S CHILDREN and the award-winning collection THE TWO SAMS comes American Morons, a new collection of dazzling and haunting tales...

Two traveling college students confront their disintegrating relationship and the new American reality in a breakdown lane along the Italian Superstrade. A woman chases the ghost of her neglectful father to a vanished amusement park at the end of the Long Beach pier. Two recently retired teachers learn just how much Los Angeles has taken from them.

In these atmospheric, wide-ranging, surprisingly playful, and deeply mournful stories, grandkids and widows, ice cream-truck drivers and judges, travelers and invalids all discover -- and sometimes even survive -- the everyday losses from which the most vengeful ghosts so often spring.

The Lost District and Other Stories
Joel Lane 0.0
In "The Lost District," Simon relates his two grungy, teen couplings with a girl from a terminally down-at-the-heels neighborhood and the hard time he has years later finding the scenes of their passion. The story resembles Lane's corrosively memorable novel, The Blue Mask (2003), in that it's dark and creepy but no more supernatural than, say, The Silence of the Lambs. The other 23 stories are more fantastic. They disclose passages to existential cul-de-sacs that are hard to leave intact and that give hard answers to profound questions, as in "Exposure," where the truth revealed about the afterlife is enough to make atheists despair. This is dark fantasy informed by political anger. In actuality just barely fantastic, it makes China Mieville seem cheery.

Map of Dreams
M. Rickert 0.0
Set in a reality where nightmares do not fade upon waking, this anthology skims along the surface of life and dips just beneath, revealing the hidden machinations that fuel dreams. These underlying myths and fantasies exist not as musty old stories but as ancient truths that have come to illuminate the modern human condition. The title story touches on themes of grief, redemption, and time travel; "Cold Fire" ventures into love and obsession; and "Peace on Suburbia" introduces readers to a Christmas with an entirely different kind of savior. These and 13 other tales are framed by four interludes—Dreams, Nightmares, Waking, and Rising—that guide readers through a world that is at once familiar and eerily off-kilter.

Joe R. Lansdale's Lords of the Razor
William Schafer, Bill Sheehan 0.0
Lords of the Razor is a stunning new anthology in which ten gifted writers (among them Chet Williamson, Thomas Tessier, Bradley Denton, Christopher Golden, and the late, great Hugh B. Cave) offer their own eclectic visions of this dark icon of modern horror. Bookended by a pair of chilling Lansdale stories (the 1985 tale in which the God makes his first appearance and a superb new novella written expressly for this volume), Lords of the Razor is both a lovingly wrought act of homage and an enthralling collection filled with horrific encounters, sharply etched characters, and moments of surprising, sometimes demented, humor.

The stories (each accompanied by a striking black and white illustration by award winning artist Glenn Chadborne) range in setting from Boston to Vietnam, from Texas to the American Midwest, from the poverty stricken rural South to the stately homes of England. Throughout, these vastly entertaining stories manage, somehow, to remain true both to their original source of inspiration and to the individual sensibilities that produced them. The result is a unique collaborative effort, a feast of pure storytelling, and a fitting tribute to the imaginative genius of Joe R. Lansdale, (hisownself).

Masques V
J.N. Williamson 0.0
"In the nearly 15 years since the last edition of Masques, horror has clawed its way out of the grave once again and reclaimed a goodly amount of its popularity, but there have been changes. While there will always be a place for the vampire, the haunted house, the serial killer, the ghost, werewolf, demon, and possessed child, the writers at the forefront of horror's newest movement are concerned not so much with shock and gore as they are what it is that lies behind those elements. . . the writers in this genre have become more aware of the internal horrors of the human condition that far outweigh those external ones listed above. They have returned here in full force to those concerns of the mind and spirit that make for the richest and most memorable type of horror story."

--J.N. Williamson, from the Introduction of Masques V

This is the final installment in the Masques series to be edited by Jerry Williamson (who passed away in late 2005). The anthology includes short stories from some of today's most acclaimed authors - Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Poppy Z. Brite, Jack Ketchum, Ray Garton and others. With cover art by Clive Barker.

The Darkening Garden: A Short Lexicon of Horror
Джон Клют 0.0
Author, critic, and scholar John Clute has assembled exclusively for Payseur & Schmidt a collection of thirty interlinked essays illuminating the evolution of horror and the horrific. The hidden meanings and dark secrets of horror literature are unraveled with explorations of vastation, affect horror, holocaust fiction, cloaca, and the bound fantastic, to name a few. This complex, chthonic journey cross-references to Clute's Encyclopedia of Fantasy and acts as a set of arguments about the nature of horror that would underpin Clute's future encyclopedic work on the subject of the fantastic.

An addition, each entry is accompanied by a brand new illustration by one of thirty hand-picked artists, including Jay Ryan, Tara McPherson, and Steven Weissman. Cover and endpapers illustrated by Jason Van Hollander.

165 pages. Signed and numbered limited hardback first edition of 500. Deluxe stamped cover with screen-printed sash illustrated by Adam Grano.

The Freedom of Fantastic Things: Selected Criticism on Clark Ashton Smith
Кларк Эштон Смит 0.0
As poet, fiction writer, and artist, Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) has left an indelible mark on the fields of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. But criticism of his bountiful and varied work has been surprisingly scanty, and oftentimes ill-informed. The Freedom of Fantastic Things represents the most substantial volume of criticism of Smith’s work ever published, and includes both original and previously published work by the leading scholars on Smith.

Among the notable contributions are Donald Sidney-Fryer’s exhaustive discussion of Smith’s relations with his early mentor, George Sterling; Brian Stableford’s brilliant analysis of Smith’s cosmicism; Fred Chappell’s sensitive treatment of Smith’s fantastic poetry; S. T. Joshi’s essays on The Hashish-Eater and on Smith’s prose-poetry; Scott Connors’s penetrating study of Smith’s relations to literary Modernism; Lauric Guillaud’s rumination on fantasy and decadence in Smith’s work; and other essays by Carl Jay Buchanan, Charles K. Wolfe, Steve Behrends, Stefan Dziemianowicz, Ronald S. Hilger, and other leading authorities.

At the conclusion of the volume is Steve Behrends’s exhaustive chronology of Smith’s work and a comprehensive primary and secondary bibliography. All in all, a feast for devotees of the necromancer from Auburn!

Scott Connors is the co-editor of Smith’s Red World of Polaris and of a forthcoming five-volume edition of Smith’s fiction. He is also working on a full-scale biography of Smith.

Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth
Kim Paffenroth 0.0
Джордж Ромеро – режиссер, сценарист, который фактически представил зомби такими, какими мы их знаем сегодня. Конечно, с 1968 года они стали значительно быстрее и, может быть, агрессивнее, но в целом в трендах остаются именно такие зомби, о которых рассказывал еще Ромеро. Однако это не означает, что не существует попыток переосмыслить феномен. Многие пытаются высказаться о зомби в новом ключе – например, рассказывая, что и они могут эволюционировать. Сам Ромеро тоже не стоит на месте. И фактически вся книга – анализ его фильмов, в которых он пытается если не переосмыслить сам феномен, то использовать тему для критики тех или иных реалий – расизма, капитализма, общества потребления, всеобщей информатизации, не учитывающей человеческий фактор и т.д. Автор книги, используя научный и аналитический аппарат, фильм за фильмом пытается проследить эволюцию взглядов режиссера на те или иные проблемы. Обратите внимание, что работа издана в университетском издательстве (к тому же в середине 2000-х). Думаю, что книга – прекрасный пример того, как продукты массовой культуры, в которые определенно заложены те или иные социально-философские высказывания, можно изучать предельно серьезно. Отнеситесь и вы к ней всерьез. В общем, книгу рекомендуется читать только тем, кто всерьез относится к двум вещам – к науке и к Джорджу Ромеро.
