In den WarenkorbFirst Edition (& 1st printing). Octavo, original cloth in dust wrapper. x + 343 pp; 600 copies printed. Cover artwork by Jason van Hollander. A fine copy in a fine dust wrapper, as new. The Ghost Story, in its many guises, continues to thrive, despite being written off many times over the past half-century, perhaps most notably…by H. R. Wakefield, one of the masters of the genre, who wrote in 1961: 'I believe ghost story writing to be a dying art.' Wakefield could not have been more wrong; and the rich legacy of such writers in the genre as Wakefield himself, M. R. James, and Robert Aickman, who were all able to hint at horror rather than spell it out, is apparent in the twenty-five stories in Shadows and Silence. There is horror here in abundance, which clearly demonstrates that the example given has been followed by the present day practitioners whose work appears in this volume. Of the seventeen stories which appeared in the first Ash-Tree Press anthology, Midnight Never Comes, in 1997, no less than fifteen received honourable mentions in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. That success has provided added impetus to ensure that the stories in this volume live up to the quality of their predecessors. The twenty-five stories in Shadows and Silence encompass an even wider range of themes, showcasing the versatility of the supernatural story. The ghost story is alive, well, and ready to face the challenges of the future.

As trend spotters in fantastic fiction know, the horror field is undergoing another of its tectonic shifts. After two decades of playing second fiddle to novel-length fiction, the short horror tale (and in particular the supernatural horror tale) is back in vogue. What's more, anthologies that refuse to cram their contents into thematic straitjackets are on the riseand the best of them are being published by the specialty press. Shadows and Silence is a fine example of why this should be. It is a visually attractive book, showing Ash-Tree's usual high production standards through a four-colour Jason van Hollander dustwrapper that is not only vivid and eye-catching, but the equal of any weird jacket design adorning publications by other specialty and trade houses. The contents are commensurate with the book's physical appeal. In their introduction the editors imply that the stories for this volume began coming in shortly after the completion of Midnight Never Comes, and the three-year interval clearly gave them time to be selective in their picks. The percentage of memorable stories in this anthology is higher than in mostpossibly even than for Midnight. Though the list of contributors features some familiar names, more refreshing yet is the proportion of names that will be recognised by only the most studious reader of magazines and chapbooks that serve the Ghost Story Societyif at all. The number of relatively new voices, and the promise they show, bodes well for the future of weird fiction. The Rodens' selection criteria were simple: ' there had to be something ghostly, supernatural, creepy, or downright odd going on in each of the tales selected'. Left unarticulated in this credo is what must be inferred from the book's title: selections were also expected to be subtle and nuanced in the development of their weird themes. The majority of stories in Shadows and Silence are perfectly consistent with the weird fiction tradition that has shaped Ash-Tree Press's choice for classic ghost and supernatural reprints. They are not pastiches of Victorian or Edwardian ghost fiction, but irrefutably modern works that embrace the principles of restraint and decorum that one finds in the works of M. R. James and other writers who laid the foundations for the literary weird tale. In their concern with mood and atmosphere and their emphasis on carefully crafted chills, the best stories in the volume demonstrate how a tradition does not overwhelm, but rather comfortably accommodates contemporary stories infused with its spirit. Several of the selections evoke the weird fiction tradition by revisiting ideas and techniques of classic works in a modern context. Steve Burt's 'The Witness Tree', for example, has a plot that echoes (appropriately enough) James's 'The Ash-tree'. In contrast to its model, which is uniformly grim and perhaps the more effective for it, Burt lightens the tone of his tale with jokey banter between characters, then compensates with a final horror more gruesome than James's. John Morrow's 'Mr Justice Delaney' calls to mind Charles Dickens's 'To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt' in its account of ghostly intervention in a court of law to bring about poetic justice. Both Ron Weighell's 'The Counsels of Night', about an excavation that accidentally revivifies ancient pagan forces still imbuing.

In den WarenkorbFirst Edition (& 1st printing). Octavo, original cloth, dust wrapper. xii + 223 pp. Dust Jacket illustration by Bob Suggs. A fine copy in a fine dust wrapper. In 1961, ghost story writer H.R. Wakefield stated bluntly, 'I believe ghost story writing to be a dying art . . .' This pessimistic statement has been echoed down through…the decades since the Second World War, an event which, for many, seems to signify the end of the Golden Age of ghost stories. Are those people correct who claim that the modern world, with its all-too-real technological horrors, is no place for the ghost story, with its seemingly gentler terrors? Or is there still room today for tales that frighten without recourse to gruesome 'special effects', designed simply to appeal to a more and more jaded audience? Midnight Never Comes, the first anthology of all-new stories from Ash-Tree Press, clearly shows that the art of the ghost story is very much alive and well, and ready to enter the next century. Gathered together here are seventeen stories by contemporary writers in the genre, designed to prove that the traditional supernatural tale is far from a dying art. In a variety of styles and settings, the authors explore that dark world which, in these stories, exists besideand often intrudes uponour own, with results that range from the terrifying to the humorous. This is a collection of supernatural tales which will delight long-time enthusiasts of the genre, and at the same time show that there is something new under the sun, and that reports of the ghost-story's demise are very much premature. Contents: Stephen Volk: 'The Latin Master'; Colin Mackay: 'Mary King's Close'; Michael Chislett 'St Asphodel and St Jonquil'; 'Tina Rath: '"Father" O'Flynn and the Fressingfold Friezes'; Terry Lamsley: 'The Snug'; Rosemary Pardoe: 'The Sheelagh-na-gig'; John Whitbourn: 'Bury My Heart at Southerham (East Sussex); Jonathan Aycliffe: 'The Scent of Oranges'; Marni Griffin: 'Outside the Gates'; David G. Rowlands: 'The Galilean'; Ron Weighell: 'The Mouth of the Medusa'; G.W. Howarth: 'The Chinese Scholar'; Steve Burt: 'The Mason's Leech'; Rhys Hughes: 'Journey Through a Wall'; Simon Clark: 'Swallowing a Dirty Seed'; Jesse F. Knight: 'To Capture a Perfect Wave'; Steve Duffy: 'The Marsh Warden'.
