THE FACE THAT MUST DIE by Ramsey Campbell (signed limited edition hardcover)
Ramsey Campbell’s daring look into the mind of a psychotic killer was published in truncated form in 1979; an expanded edition was later published in 1982. The paranoid outlook of the book’s main character, Horridge, is a grim commentary on a bleak Liverpool suburb and Thatcher-era England.
This edition has the corrected text by Campbell and the compelling photographs of J.K. Potter, with a new introduction by Poppy Z. Brite, a bonus short story, and a new afterword by Campbell. The Potter photographs are printed so fine that Potter himself called us when the book was published, stating that their austere, full-page, full-bleed presentation was the finest presentation and reproduction of these works that he had ever seen.
The hardcover edition is limited to just 300 copies and is signed by Campbell, Potter, and Brite. Bound in cloth with a handsome dustjacket.
FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley (trade paperback edition)
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the world’s most notorious and widely read Gothic novel. It has also been heralded as both the first modern horror novel and the first science fiction novel. More important than either is the novel’s mythical status in society. The rich subtext of Frankenstein and the vast number of readings it can inspire have contributed to the novel’s continued success after nearly two hundred years.
This edition of Frankenstein uses Mary Shelley’s definitive 1831 text and incorporates several critical essays on Frankenstein, discussing its rich symbolism and place in world literature. There is also a valuable bibliography, Mary Shelley’s original introduction to the 1831 edition, Percy Shelley’s original preface, and more. This is the definitive edition of Frankenstein, perfect for the trade and indispensable for scholarly use. This is first in the affordably priced Millipede Press Gothic Novels series.
