Re: Literary News
As Robert mentioned, both Quinn volumes have been available for awhile.
I have both, but have not read either yet.
Volume 3 is already up for preorder.
The price from Night Shade is better than what George Vanderburgh would ask at his Battered Lunchbox (?) site.

I did not know Weinberg had died.
He had been working through the Donald M Grant site.
I wonder who will tend that now.
I also remember both he and Vanderburgh attempted to revive Arkham House (theirs was the last flyer I received).
Anyway, the Quinn Vol 3 has a scheduled release of March 2018.

Re: Literary News
I seriously try'd to enjoy that first volume of ye de Grandin stories--but I've finally given up, the stories are awful and boring. At first this made me sad--I really wanted to like this book--but then I thought of all the money I'll be saving by not purchasing the other four volumes, so that cheer'd me up a wee bit.
"We work in the dark -- we do what we can -- we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."

A new park in Tacoma, Washington, will be named Dune Park and will include the Frank Herbert Trail. It was about time.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Up for pre-order. Not slated to be published until October 2, 2018. (This may have been mentioned before and I missed it.)

Question: Has Ligotti been published in Russian yet?

Any word on the English translation of Zapffe's On the Tragic?

Pre-ordered ebook because I wouldn't be able to stand not knowing what the new preface says.

Re: Literary News
This is excellent news. As to the cover, however, all I'll say is the book deserves much better, especially considering we're talking Penguin here.

(I felt similarly about the Dead Dreamer + Grimscribe reissue.)

Re: Literary News
This isn't one of the worst cover I've ever seen, but it comes pretty close. The image notwithstanding, the typography is all over the place.
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Agreed. Take out the Penguin logo and it looks like something thrown together in 2 minutes by some fly-by-night POD outfit.

Recently bought the new edition of Kavan's Ice and I've discovered that Penguin hates british people.
