A propos de cet article

Stuart, Ruth McEnery. The Haunted Photograph, Whence and Whither, A Case in Diplomacy, The Afterglow. New York: The Century Co., 1911. First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1-2] 3-170. Original tan pictorial cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, white and black, fore- and bottom edges untrimmed. Illustrated by William L. Jacobs, Peter Newell, Ethel Pennewill Brown and Wilson C. Dexter on ten inserted plates. A fine copy in very good dust jacket with a shallow chip at head of spine, nicking off the word "The." Scarce in jacket. #3554. $125. The second and third stories concern African-Americans. The first is an ambiguously supernatural tale about a photo of a hotel that burned, killing the heroine's late husband; the photo may or may not show him carrying on with another woman. The story bears some affinity to M. R. James's "The Mezzotint" (1904). Whether or not this is a case of a magical object -- or a deranged observer -- the story would seem to fall into the general category of the fantastic. Bleiler (1948), p. 261. Smith, American Fiction, 1900-1925 S-1092.…

Description de la boutique

When I began my bookselling business in 1996 I called it "Eldritch Books" because that adjective at least partly covered the type of material I offered (and because its similarity to my own surname seemed so -- eldritch). "Ghost stories" would be another handy, if somewhat reductive, term. Most of it is fiction from the 19th and early 20th century with a strong emphasis on the fantastic. Since the most familiar and relevant genre terms in use today -- "science fiction," "fantasy," "supernatural," "horror" -- were not so much in use when these books were first published, pegging them that way can be anachronistic. But that should give you the general idea. I don't have much in the way of American pulp (either in magazine or specialty press book form) but otherwise my interests range widely from high-brow to middle-brow to low-brow to amateur/eccentric. You're more likely to find rare and obscure works here than high spots. (Or at least they're obscure now, whatever their status was when first published.) In 2001 I went to work for L. W. Currey as cataloguer and general assistant. Since 2014 I've been back working on my own. I have exhibited at convention fairs (such as WFC and Readercon) in the past. I began collecting and studying antiquarian fantasy around 1980. Some of my essays have appeared in genre publications such as NYRSF, Wormwood and F&SF. I tend to carefully research my inventory and write extensive notes. (If another dealer wishes to make use of any of these notes, I'd appreciate the courtesy of putting such excerpts in quotes and giving proper attribution to me. That's what I do when I quote from any of my reference works.) I will be gradually listing my inventory on ABE over the coming years. I hope you find something of interest. …
