Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The tales in this collection come from a different place: from a love of dead words and dust, of sun-faded photographs and the smell of old books. They come from the joy of exploring the works and thoughts and worlds of all those long-dead others before us, the populations of that foreign country where, as L.P. Hartley so perfectly observed, '.they do things differently.'. But to delve into their remnants, to fire them again with new passion-is like reanimating ashes, a sort of philologic necromancy. So many former ways of writing, thinking, speaking, singing, loving, being, may be lost to the world, transient as sunset, but I believe that something of their spirit can be stirred again.- Avalon Brantley Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condition: Trade paperback, New. Duesseldorf: Zagava:, 2025. Trade paperback, New, 68 pp. "We made this little volume together alone. Alone, through so much more darkness than this; it can't all be gathered by hands to be gifted; it sifts through the fingers and spills, drips, runs; the dirt always drinks at least a little from every offering, as its due. You just carry away what you can from the altar. We have tried, and have been. Now after all that's gone, and all that's overcome and been, transcended, there is at least this little written relic we have gathered to leave. And leave to gather to dust.".…

Dusseldorf: Zagava:, 2025. Hardcover, Limited edition, New sans dust jacket as issued, 582 pp. This edition limited to 199 numbered copies. 582 pages! "The White Protocol is an ambivalently supernatural and psychological medical thriller, set in a huge, ugly, rambling hospital, in the heart of a vicious city, in a dystopia called the USA. I conceive of the book as something of a long, dark, epic symphony, or perhaps rather like a brutal succession of storms abutted by lachrymose stillness. The White Protocol is a long, bleak and very, very strange journey that I am confident a good many of you will enjoy, the perfect accompaniment to urban anxieties in the short, desolate days of the dark season."
