Horrors and More: Zittaw News

In celebration of Halloween next month Zittaw Press is planning a special release of Mrs. R. M. P. Yorke's 1801 Gothic masterpiece The Haunted Palace; or, The Horrors of Ventoliene. Fred Frank calls this novel the "highest of high Gothics...[this] is nothing more nor less than an encyclopedia of horror."

This week has been a busy week for us all. Curt Herr's brilliant scholarly edition of Varney the Vampire is almost ready for the printers and is on track for a Halloween release. Curt has worked tirelessly on this edition and it is stocked full of useful information and will be perfect for classroom use.
