AN EMPORIUM OF AUTOMATA
A most welcome reprinting of a collection originally published in 2010 by Ex Occidente Press, who specialize in extremely expensive limited editions.
AMARCORD
Amarcord is the Romagnolo word for “I Remember.” That’s appropriate, as memory, and its every conceivable fictional permutation, is the subject of this collection of ten thematically linked stories.
THE ALTERNATIVE
This British novel is packaged like one of the innumerable horror potboilers that debuted in the early 1970s (complete with an imposing front cover reference to ROSEMARY’S BABY), but it’s actually a far more thoughtful and intellectual work.
ALRAUNE (Book)
ALRAUNE is probably the late, great German author Hanns Heinz Ewers’ masterpiece.
ALL HALLOW’S EVE
A medium-strength Richard Laymon novel. It’s quite typical of his eighties-era novels (particularly NIGHT SHOW and FUNLAND) with its alternately horny and murderous cast of teens afoot in the latter days of October, inter-spaced with equally questionable adults and an unseen killer.
ALL HALLOWS’ EVE
This was the final novel by the UK’s Charles Williams, and an excellent example of his peculiar brand of metaphysical spiritualism.
ALIENS: TRIBES
Why should we care about this novella-length ALIENS knock-off? Because it was written by Stephen R. Bissette, the famed illustrator, editor and horror movie scholar who’s made an indelible mark on the horror field.
ALIEN (Book)
Not to be confused with a certain other similarly titled account, this ALIEN involves John Mortala, an eccentric billionaire obsessed with UFOs. He devises a scheme in which he agrees to pay $1,000,000 (an amount that obviously went a lot farther back in ’77 than it does now) for physical proof of the existence of flying saucers.
THE AGONIZING RESURRECTION OF VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN AND OTHER GOTHIC TALES
One of Ligotti’s most atypical works, a short (50 page) collection of brief retellings of several iconic horror stories.
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN tells of a species of human-insect hybrids called “brids,” led by a multi-armed freak named Darwin who wants to take over the Earth, and a band of human “Purity Troopers” looking to repel the brids.
