Second Tartarus Press Edition. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers (paperbound). 279 pp., Illustrated. Originally issued by Tartarus Press in 2015 in a limited edition of 250 copies published in collaboration with Caermaen Books, this is the first paperbound edition. A fine copy in pictorial wrappers. Edited and with an Introduction by Mark Valentine, with a Foreword, 'A Remarkable Man' by Javier Marías. This volume is a tribute to Roger Dobson (1954-2013), who had a keen eye for the strangest outposts of literature. The twenty essays offered here demonstrate why the eminent Spanish novelist Javier Marias described Dobson as 'a remarkable man', recondite and bookish. Readers will encounter kings, priests, tragic poets, dandies, and forgotten authors whose rare works should be better known. Several pieces track Arthur Machen's characters through the great mystery of London, rediscovering their lairs and lost haunts, and there are vivid studies of M.P. Shiel, Bulwer Lytton, George Gissing, Jocelyn Brooke and others. The collection will delight all connoisseurs of fantastic, supernatural and outré literature. Contents: 'A Remarkable Man by Javier Marías', 'Introduction by Mark Valentine', 'The Mysterious Montague Summers', 'W.B. Yeats and The Golden Dawn', 'Sherlock Holmes: The Last Mystery', 'M.P. Shiel and Arthur Ransome', 'A Palimpsest of The Three Impostors', 'Julian Maclaren-Ross', 'Black Magic Against the Beast', ''A Weird and Marvellous Pursuit'', 'Edward Bulwer-Lytton', 'John Gawsworth: King of Redonda', 'The Return of Prince Zaleski', 'The Wrenne Jarman Mystery', 'Terror By Night', 'The Book in Yellow', 'New Arabian Frights', 'Madam Satan', ''A Trade of the Damned'', 'Lucian in the Labyrinth', 'The Weird World of Dennis Wheatley', 'Cartographer of Myth', 'A Checklist of the Writings of Roger Dobson'.…
