Synopsis

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Basil Copper’s birth, PS Publishing Ltd. is proud to reissue Basil Copper: A Life in Books in a new, revised and updated edition.

Back in 2008, following three years’ extensive research and being given unprecedented and unrestricted access to the books and papers of renowned British macabre and crime writer Basil Copper, multiple award-winning editor and writer Stephen Jones produced Basil Copper: A Life in Books, a unique and in-depth study of the author and his works that won the British Fantasy Award.

Following Basil’s death in 2013, many more papers and manuscripts were discovered, and this newly-unearthed material has now been incorporated into this completely new edition. Containing the most comprehensive Working Bibliography ever compiled of Basil Copper’s productive output, rare and obscure articles covering everything from Arkham House creator August Derleth to a brief history of Count Dracula, numerous short story fragments and ideas, along with a complete television script based on M.R. James’ classic horror story ‘Count Magnus’, Basil Copper: A Life in Books is profusely illustrated with artwork by Randy Broecker and Les Edwards, numerous cover reproductions and unique personal photographs from the author’s own collection.
