Pulp Rack - New addition! There are two new posts that continue our Swashbuckling theme: "The D'Artagnan Romances: Twenty Years After by Dumas" Two posts ago I described Dumas' The Three Musketeers as a romp. The sequel, which began its serialized appearance in 1845 -- the year following its precursor's publication -- starts out much more somberly. Taking up, as its title suggests, two decades after the first volume, this tale opens with our heroes having gone their separate ways. D'Artagnan, the witty, apparently irrepressible youthful leader of the earlier band, has turned bitter, his witticisms now cynical asides. At the end of The Three Musketeers, Cardinal Richelieu had appointed D'Artagnan a lieutenant of the Musketeers. Twenty years later, the once-merry Gascon is still a lieutenant, his accomplishments for the crown forgotten, his dreams for advancement turned to dirt. "'The Fist and the Sword,' by Fulton Grant, Blue Book August 1936" For some reason I've had stuck in my head for years that Fulton T. Grant was one of H. Bedford-Jones' many pseudonyms. Thanks to anthologist and bibliographer Mike Ashley, University of Minnesota librarian Denny Lien, and other members of FictionMags, my notions got straightened out. Some odds and ends those fine gentlemen shared with me about Grant: • Obituary for Fulton Thatcher Grant, New York Times Jan 16, 1949, p. 69. Bennington, Vt., Jan. 15 -- Fulton T. Grant of North Bennington, son of Lewis F. Grant, New York artist, died last Thursday, at the Veterans Hospital in White River Junction. His age was 50. Mr. Grant, an alumnus of Hamilton College, served as a private in the first World War. He was recalled into service in the second conflict with the rank of captain and was wounded in Italy. He had served as advertising manager of the old New York Herald in Paris. Now that I've caught up on my posts, you can catch up on your patronage to The Pulp Rack.

October 2009 HONEY IN HIS MOUTH by Lester Dent, Cover art by Ron Lesser - First publication ever! If you were small-time grifter Walter Harsh, recovering in a hospital with a broken arm, you’d listen to a proposition that could net you a cool $50,000 for impersonating the South American strongman you resemble. You’d pay attention when the dictator’s sultry mistress started putting the moves on you.

| Hippocampus Press - September Newsletter! We've completed a major update to our website, and lots of new titles are available for order. Here's an update on new and forthcoming books from Hippocampus Press. LOVECRAFT- HOWARD LETTERS UPDATE. A MEANS TO FREEDOM is still not back from the printer, but finished copies should be arriving soon and orders will start shipping out in about two weeks. Thanks for your patience. NEW RELEASES BLOOD WILL HAVE ITS SEASON by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. is already garnering rave reviews throughout the horror community. In the words of Wilum Pugmire, "Joe Pulver is a dark star in the merciless cosmos of weird fiction. His work is as brutal as it is beautiful." Travel from the dark, forbidding alleys of our ruined cityscapes and into the unearthly by the effortless stroke of a dazzling metaphor! With a broad scope ranging from traditional horror through splatterpunk into innovative riffs on The King in Yellow, enthusiasts of the macabre will find much to enjoy in Pulver's demonic witchery. NOW AVAILABLE from Hippocampus Press! THE WAR OF THE WHISPERERS by Adam Niswander, A Novel in The Shaman Cycle. Native Americans are turning up dead with alarming frequency in the area around Casa Grande, Arizona. Who could be responsible? Suspicion immediately falls on the Army of the Dream, a compound run by Jason Trahearne. Is Trahearne merely devoted to re-creating World War II battles, or is he a dangerous neo-Nazi? Worse, can he be under the influence of a shadowy but immensely powerful group of supernatural entities who control their human servants by whispers? Adam Niswander's latest exciting novel is NOW AVAILABLE from Hippocampus Press! Released to coincide with Mencken Day 2009 is COLLECTED POEMS of H. L. Mencken, edited by S. T. Joshi. Fans of Joshi who know him for his Lovecraft scholarship may not be aware that he is also a leading Mencken scholar. Joshi has now, for the first time, collected the entirety of Mencken's verse, ranging from patriotic poems in the manner of Kipling, to satirical poems poking fun at politicians, actresses, and the institution of marriage, to surprisingly touching poems on romance, the seasons, and other subjects. A full appendix of editorial content explicates obscure topical and biographical references, in the entertaining and knowledgeable style for which Joshi is justly famous. NOW AVAILABLE from Hippocampus Press! COMING SOON The latest installment of THE LOVECRAFT ANNUAL will be available soon, featuring new research by T. R. Livesey, James Goho, Massimo Berruti, Will Murray and others. As always, the journal is edited by S. T. Joshi. All previous issues remain in print and are available at our website. SEVEN DEADLY PLEASURES by Michael Aronovitz. Each of the seven tales that Michael Aronovitz brings together in his first collection of stories is a powerful, hard-hitting specimen of contemporary weird fiction. Order now and be among the first to read this outstanding collection from a rising star of horror. In the words of William Lashner, author of Blood and Bone, "Seven Deadly Pleasures is a startlingly good collection. With the assuredness of a born storyteller, Aronovitz rips the bland surface off the everyday to reveal the rolling horrors that lie beneath. These stories are raw with emotion, and the true terror of life, but be careful as they drag you down into the darkness, because you won't return the same." Donald Sidney-Fryer's omnibus THE ATLANTIS FRAGMENTS is coming in paperback, in time for World Fantasy Convention where Sidney-Fryer himself perform dramatic readings of selections from ATLANTIS, plus works of George Sterling, Nora May French and Clark Ashton Smith. Some copies still remain of the ATLANTIS limited edition hardcover, but they're going fast. Treat yourself to the poetry and prose collection which garnered a favorable mention by Michael Dirda in the Washington Post. Also coming in time for World Fantasy is THE OUTER GATE: The Collected Poems of Nora May French, edited by Donald Sidney-Fryer and Alan Gullette. The poetry of Nora May French possesses its own kind of cosmic consciousness, aligning it well enough with the work of Clark Ashton Smith and her friend George Sterling, without making it the same thing. Almost one hundred years have now passed since her death at twenty-six, and not quite one hundred years have gone by since a group of close and influential friends published her one and only collection. Clearly she deserves an ampler legacy, and perhaps this republication of her distinctive and individual poetry will help to achieve that consummation. WEIRD WORDS: A LOVECRAFTIAN LEXICON by Dan Clore will be released in time for the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival. Order now to secure your copy of the reference book which is as entertaining as it is informative. Featuring stunning cover art by Howard Wandrei. NEW AND IMPROVED LOVECRAFT BIOGRAPHY. Yes, S. T. Joshi's revised and expanded HPL biography, I AM PROVIDENCE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF H. P. LOVECRAFT is coming from Hippocampus, and we will initially make it available through an advance subscription. We envision this two volume set appearing in a limited hardcover edition of 1000 copies per volume. If any copies remain after the subscription period ends, they will be sold to the general public. Some sets will also be made available to our independent bookseller friends. We're not quite ready to start taking advance subscription orders, so please be patient. THOMAS LIGOTTI. The latest work from Thomas Ligotti is called THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE HUMAN RACE. Ligotti's legions of devotees will recall an early draft of this grim but spirited treatise was given a limited release on the internet some years ago. The final version has now been codified and will see a release in hardcover next year from Hippocampus. More details to follow, soon.

| Subterranean Press: Artists
Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft - On sale for over 50% off! This 400-page art book features loads of color and black & white artwork that has directly or indirectly illustrated the writings of H.P.

Giger, Michael Whelan, Lee Brown Coye, Virgil Finlay, Gahan Wilson, J.K. Potter, John Coulthart, Ian Miller, Gahan Wilson, and dozens of others in a massive, oversized 12 x 15.5 inch book.
