Midnight House has always endeavored to bring our readers two types of books, the first are reprints of exceptional works of fiction that due to scarcity or expense are unavailable to most modern readers, the second is the volume that offers fiction never previously collected in book form. It is in this second category that Bob Leman’s Feesters in the Lake is to be found.

This is a collection that I’ve wanted to have on my shelf since I first read “The Tehama” in 1981 in the pages of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science-Fiction. Over the years I looked for other Bob Leman stories and was always rewarded by the high quality of his tales and at his ability to seamlessly blend the genres of horror and SF with a degree of skill only equaled by giants in the field like Fritz Leiber and John Wyndham. Though I didn’t know it at the time, editor Jim Rockhill was also struck by the high quality of Leman’s work and even urged other publishers at the time to consider the project. As with many great writers, Leman was perhaps ahead of his time, while his stories were frequently cited by readers and critic as being among the year’s best, no publisher seemed willing to commit to publishing the collection, until now…

We are extremely proud to be able offer Bob Leman’s complete weird fiction in this volume, in a career that spanned two decades, Mr. Leman wrote only fifteen pieces of fiction, each story an exquisite example of imaginative fiction at its best. This book is destined to be considered a cornerstone volume for any serious collection of modern horror/SF. If you’ve already made the acquaintance with Mr. Leman’s fiction in the pages of F & SF, you need no further urging from us. If you’re not familiar with the author’s work, rest assured, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.
