Horrible ImaginingsFritz LeiberEdited and with an Introduction by John Pelan ISBN 0-9740589-5-5 Out of Print |
Midnight House is pleased to announce a new collection of tales by the legendary Fritz Leiber. Considered by many to be the greatest writer in the field of fantastic fiction, Fritz Leiber's long and productive career spanned fifty years. This present collection assembles stories from sources ranging from 1940s issues of Weird Tales to rare fanzines like Amra and Whispers. As a special treat, this book includes a "lost" story, "Skinny's Wonderful", apparently written for Esquire or Playboy which was recently discovered in the author's papers. Most of the stories gathered here are making their first appearance in book form or have been virtually unobtainable for many years. Fritz Leiber was the winner of every major award for science fiction, fantasy, and horror during his career. While many of his novels remain in print, much of his great short fiction has been virtually unobtainable for decades. This is the third of a series of volumes dedicated to preserving all of Fritz Leiber's weird and macabre tales under the Midnight House imprint as a companion set to the volumes of science fiction published by Darkside Press.
Midnight House is dedicated to the preservation of classic horror and weird
fiction in handsome, inexpensive editions. Printings are limited to 500 numbered,
casebound copies with sewn signatures. Horrible Imaginings features a
striking cover by noted artist Allen Koszowski and will be ready for shipping in
September of this year. As all of our previous Leiber collections have sold out
on publication, we strongly recommend advance orders.
