Fire On The Glacier by Paul Busson

Posted in Uncategorized on July 31, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Fire On The Glacier by Paul Busson is a new translation that has been needed for a long time. I think it is perhaps my favorite book and I feel really good about how the translation came out. It was formerly also titled “The Fire Spirits”. I just finished it and it will also be available as a paperback at Lulu.
Herr Peter Storck travels to the Zeitlanghof, his uncle’s home in the Tyrolean mountains to solve the mystery of his uncle’s sudden disappearance. But he is soon embroiled in much more than that. The hardy mountain peasants are on the verge of a bloody revolt to win their freedom. His chance encounter with the beautiful young Fräulein Julia Avorai only deepens the mystery because she is somehow involved with the mysterious fire spirits that are released on the mountain two days a year on the equinoxes. To make matters worse spirits of the dead are possessing people of the local village Sankt Mareiner. Can Peter and his hunter friend Serafin Federspiel get to the bottom of things before it is too late? This is a new translation by Joe E. Bandel.

Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume III

Posted in Uncategorized on July 17, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume III continues the incredible journey of discovery of this all but forgotten author of horror and dark fantasy.
Several of the stories in this selection really stir the emotions. “The Petersen Case” touches upon child abuse. “Tomato Sauce” is almost sickening in its portrayal of blood sports. But there is incredible beauty and sensitivity as well in “I Ride In The Rain”, a simple story with a beautiful message. “The Highest Love” challenges us in a totally different way by suggesting the power of love and sacrifice.
All of these stories have things to share and emotions to stir deep inside of us and they touch us as only Hanns Heinz Ewers can touch us. Enjoy!

The Execution of Damiens, Typhoid Mary, Trecento, Eileen Carter, I Ride In The Rain, Tomato Sauce, Gentlemen of the Bar, John Hamilton Llewellyn’s End, The Dead Jude, The Tophar Bride, The Petersen Case, The Highest Love, The Jews of Jeb.
