My New Book: Mansion of Gloom










Happy Halloween to all.
A suitable occasion to announce that my new book went to the printer today and should be out in about 3 weeks. It's a comprehensive examination of one tale by Edgar Allan Poe 'The Fall of the House of Usher' in almost all of its literary and media iterations from Jean Epstein to Jess Franco, Debussy to Lou Reed, HP Lovecraft to Ray Bradbury and much more.
As with previous Accumulator Press books it is a signed limited edition of 500 (paperback this time)with various enclosures. The foreword is by Gary Lachman. Recommended by Dr John Cooper Clarke and Edward Parnell. All previous Accumulator Press publications have sold out, so be sure to secure a copy at £25.00.
I hope it will be available through The Big Cartel, Watkins, Treadwells and independent bookshops in Hastings. More details on purchasing when it's published.

The launch will be on 7 December in a gallery in Hastings Old Town. There will probably be a London launch as well. Details to follow. Further promotional events with films and live music are being prepared for early 2025 in Hastings and London (and elsewhere if anyone want to organise it and gets in touch.)

Watch this space ...
