PUBLICATION OF THE VAMPIRE ARCHIVES, Edited by Otto Penzler!
OUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY - at this location!
Time to party!!
Please join us.
Please Note
Our newsletter lists the November selection for the British Crime Club as A Quiet Belief in Angels by R.J. Ellory. This is incorrect. That title was published as a paperback original two years ago in England and is just being published here in hardcover. We do have signed copies.
Our November selection for the British Crime Club is R.J. Ellory’s latest book, The Anniversary Man.
Last week I told you about The Dark Page II: Books That Inspired Film Noir which covers the years 1950-1965.
We also have more copies of The Dark Page I.. This covers the years 1940-1949.
Both volumes are $95.00 and would make wonderful presents this holiday season - especially for you.

Niffenegger has produced another story about the tenacity of life - even after death. $26.99
