  'Joel Lane's imagination is bleak. But it is also the imagination of a poet.'
  
  – M John Harrison, author of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again
  WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY CONRAD WILLIAMS
  
  Set in a post-industrial landscape of the present, the near future, and the imagined, Joel Lane's seminal collection The Lost District explores human encounters with the unknown: sexual discovery, drug-inspired visions, the lonely paths of madness, and the shadow realms on the other side of death.
  A neighbourhood fades into corrupt echoes of itself; a porn actor's scars reveal the forces controlling his life; a musician is haunted by the madness of a deceased singer; and a man literally follows his ex-lover to the end of the world.
  
  Ranging from grim urban horror to strange erotic fantasies to bitter allegories of loss and exploitation, the stories in The Lost District link the hidden places in the urban and small-town landscapes to the secret spaces inside all of us.
  First published in the USA in 2006, and long out-of-print, The Lost District has never been published in the UK until now, further enforcing Joel Lane's reputation as one of the most significant and distinctive British writers of the weird.

  Two things are impossible to walk away from: death and vintage clothing. Trust me. I've tried. 
  Moving across the country and opening a costume shop was supposed to be my chance for a normal life. What I wanted was a fresh start, one where the biggest danger would be a carelessly wielded sewing needle. 
  What I got was the ghost of a murdered reporter demanding justice, a power I can’t control, and a new goat shifter BFF hell-bent on trouble. 
  Now, my hunt for the killer threatens to expose a supernatural community determined to safeguard its secrecy at any cost. My only chance to survive is to embrace the legacy I’ve spent my life running from. 
  Fastening the Grave is the first book in the Kali James series, featuring a reluctant necromancer who finds herself in a world of werewolves, vampires, and ghosts. If you like your urban fantasy with quirky characters, a side of supernatural mystery, and a dose of slow-burn romance, this is the book for you.

  The fifth book in The Jerry McNeal series has Jerry and his ghostly K-9 companion heading to Michigan to visit Max and discover what – if any – secrets are hiding in Lighthouse County Park. 
  Port Hope, the sleepy town that rests along the coast of Lake Huron, is the last place one would expect to find a dead body – much less a body that so closely resembles the one Jerry and Gunter uncovered in Tennessee. 
  Is the redhead spirit that visits Max in her dreams simply a wayward ghost that haunts Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse? Or, will Jerry, Max and Gunter, discover a truth too frightening to be labeled a mere coincidence?

  Little Masterpieces

  Edgar Allan Poe

   In selecting the tales that form this volume, the foremost place has been allotted to two romances of Death, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “ Ligeia.” The latter was considered by Poe himself the finest of all his tales, and in a well-known letter to Lowell he places close beside it ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.” In both his singular genius finds full expression. They are followed by two old-world romances, laid in Rome and Venice, rich in color and subtly varied atmosphere, and vibrating with passion. Of the tales whose theme is the guilty conscience, Poe thought “ William Wilson ”’ and ‘The Black Cat” the best. The briefer one is given here. The “ MS. Found in a Bottle’ is the earliest and in some respects the most purely imaginative of his pseudoscientific stories. The tales of ratiocination— to use Poe’s phrase for what would now be termed detective stories—are represented by:“The Gold-Bug,” a tale less poignant than “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and perhaps less flawless in its art than ‘‘ The Purloined Letter,’ yet one of the most celebrated short stories ever written.
