Mayfair Mini Book Fair

 


I'm proud to be part of the Mayfair Mini Book Fair taking place on Saturday 7 March at Mayfair Library 11-5. 

SEE HERE and HERE and HERE

There will be an Accumulator Press table all day and I shall try to get there in the early afternoon if work allows. It sounds great if you're a reader and supporter of small presses.

Mansion of Gloom will be on sale at a special reduced price and if I'm around I'll sign it to the purchaser. Otherwise all books will be pre-signed with a postcard, bookmark and copy of the original Poe story.

Another Review for Mansion of Gloom

 

In addition to Roger Luckhurst's glowing review of Mansion of Gloom in Fortean Times I've found another more recent review which you can read HERE

Copies can be bought through the Big Cartel, Treadwell's and Watkins in London, Hare and Hawthorn in Hastings and Midian Books in the North, as well as eBay. It's a limited edition, around 150 copies remaining.

INCIDENTALLY: Every now and then I have a look at how much my previous Accumulator books are going for online. The latest prices for Netherwood: Last Resort of Aleister Crowley can be found HERE. If only I was making that kind of money from it! Secret Tunnels of England is also expensive to obtain now.
