Oh dear Reader, surely you know how fond of you we are. In a time hurtling toward complete Amazon & govt takeover - soon an Amazon bot, with key to your homecube, will arrive each morning with new prepaid entertainment chip to insert into your bio port & a nutrient hose that gushes into your energy trough, while the gov media entrances the populace with fear deluge of Others & Their Foreign Desire To Mess What's Yours, you, Dear Book & Record store lover, still use your legs or wheelchair to leave your home to experience air in the shrinking outdoors & see humans, birds, trees, Marvin moaning "Mr. Shriner", cement in all their glory. To taste the world is rebellion at this point. & since we know you're special, we want to bring you special things. & for us writing doesn't get much better or enchanting than that of #RobertAickman He called his tales "strange stories" & indeed they are. Picture Paul Bowles if he hadn't found kif in Morocco & instead lived in a dark cottage at the end of a lonely lane where tuff lads pummel him with gravel. When local art genius crone Laure Drogoul read him she remarked "there's a thin line between enchantment & madness." Although pop star Neil Gaiman is now blurbing pb reprints, early editions are rare & $$$$. To keep Aickman chilling the readers, #TartarusPress in the U.K. Has been printing beautiful sewn-binding limited edition hardbacks. Not cheap, but worth every penny & they sell directly to bookshops at a great reduction so we can bring them to you cheaper than destroyer of workforce Amazon. We Are For The Dark, his 1st, written with Elizabeth Jane Howard, & Tales of Love & Death. Brilliant, eerie & pleasure to hold, $40 each.

"The waterway-possessed man or woman is more likely to be hallucinatory than obsessional. Water winding and twisting between banks; rising and falling by locks and weirs; cataracting or quiescent beneath the arches of bridges; much hidden from the common world; secretive and initiatory; decked by beautiful buildings as by bountiful botany: water either sparkling and glinting or sullen and boding; at once tended and untendable - and ultimately uncontrollable; always a little mysterious, with a life of its own, like a cat; water is of all sex symbols the superlative, and where the sea is sadistic, as Swinburne divined, the river or canal is sweetly seductive. Conflict, and bitter, inexpressible, often unthinkable, feelings are certain. The water-possessed are likely to be inwardly driven; to cling to their separate, private dreams with the desperation of the drowning; to beset with strange ferocity all conceived of as rivals." Yes. #robertaickman #theriverrunsuphill #tartaruspress #autobiography #waterways #iwa #canals #books #bibliophilia #bookporn
