Burton, MI: Subterranean Press, 2021. Signed, limited edition plus extra book. Hardcover. NEW/NEW. Dust jackets by Ray Troll. Interior illustrations by Vince Locke.. In Vile Affections, Caitlín R. Kiernan's seventeenth short fiction collection, the boundaries of desire, fascination, passion, and dread collide. That which is beautiful may easily be profane. Those who love us may devour us alive. A shadow may shine like a supernova. The eye of the beholder is God. In these twenty-two stories, Kiernan's trademark range is on display, taking us from submerged and monster-haunted dreamscapes to quiet bedroom conversation between lovers, from unexpected and uncanny roadkill to an object lesson on the perils of picking up hitchhikers on rainy Appalachian nights. Moving deftly between such disparate genres as cyberpunk, fairy tales, and Southern Gothic, this is Kiernan at their eerie best. The signed limited edition of Vile Affections is accompanied by Cambrian Tales, the most significant bonus volume of… Read More

Kiernan first introduced Dancy in the pages of her award-winning second novel, Threshold (2001), then went on to write several more short stories and a novella about this unlikely heroine, each a piece of what has become an epic dark fantasy narrative. Alabaster finally collects all these tales into one volume, illustrated by Ted Naifeh.

Please inquire for international shipping. In 1956, a 28-year old William Klein arrived in Rome, fresh from the debut of his now classic monograph Life Is Good & Good for You in New York, to assist Federico Fellini on his film Nights of Cabiria. Filming was delayed, and so Klein instead strolled about the city in the company of Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Alberto Moravia and other avant-garde Italian writers and artists who served as his guides. It was on these walks that Rome, a pioneering and brilliant visual diary of the city, was born. First published in 1959, Klein's Rome features the quirky extended captions that distinguished his New York book, interspersed with observations about the city by… Read More

Cloth bound with dustjacket. 5.5lb. Very faint shelf wear, almost like new. Ships from Hawaii = =. The long-neglected seventeenth-century Flemish artist Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) has been described by art historians as an "enigmatic Dutch Le Nain". Nothing is known about him from the time of his birth in Brussels until his arrival in Rome at the age of twenty-eight. This book traces Sweerts' artistic development: his years in Rome, his return to Brussels to found a drawing academy, his subsequent move to Amsterdam, and finally his decision, towards the end of his life, to join a French missionary society and travel to the Far East. Sweerts' idiosyncratic methods reveal a continual struggle to reconcile the academic principles he so willingly adopted with the Dutch art of his Netherlandish contemporaries in Rome,… Read More

Lakewood, CO: Centipede Press, 2016. unsigned. Hardcover. New, shrink-wrapped/new. New. Shrink-wrapped, unsigned, ships from Hawaii with free Priority Mail upgrade within US, not slow media mail. Welcome to Man Drowning, a noir tale if ever there was one. First published in hardback by Harper & Brothers in 1952, it wouldn't have been at all out of place in the Gold Medal paperback line of the same year. Nick Banning, the book's narrator, is a blue-collar guy and a war vet, like so many of the characters in noir books and films. And like them, he has problems, chief among them his almost uncontrollable anger and his obsessive love of a woman named Sherry, to whom he was once married. He finds Sherry in Arizona and tries to convince her, and himself, that he's changed, that his obsession with her won't lead him to do the kinds of things he did in the past. Sherry knows better, Nick knows better, the reader knows better, and his downward spiral has already begun.
