Library Additions: Four Slender Books

Thursday, January 4th, 2024

Four books, three from the publisher, three signed.

  • Shiner, Lewis. More Collected Stories. Subterranean Press, 2023. First edition perfect bound chapbook, a Fine copy, in publisher’s plastic bag. Six stories Lew has published since Subterranean’s Collected Stories for him. Bought from the publisher.

  • Swanwick, Michael. Winter Songs. Dragonstairs Press, 2022 (not offered for sale until 2023). First edition chapbook original, #37 of 115 copies, a Fine copy. I will have copies of this available in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog.

  • Whitehead, Henry S. (Thomas Tessier, editor). A Little Orange Book of Voodoo Tales. Borderlands Press, 2023. First edition hardback, #462 of 500 numbered copies signed by the editor, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Five stories, two of which (“Jumbee” and “West India Lights”) were the title stories of his two Arkham House collections. Weirdly, this book has about 130 pages of text, then another 30 numbered but blank pages at the back. I have copies of this available through Lame Excuse Books.

  • Wilson, F. Paul. The Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium. Necessary Evil Press, 2007. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with a 3/4″ closed tear to bottom front near spine. Bought for $30 from a Half Price Books location in the Metroplex.
