THE PROZESS MANIFESTATIONS (new collection)

From Mark's blog (link here):

The Prozess Manifestations | Mark Samuels

Well, I finished the last story for my next collection of weird fiction a couple of weeks ago so I suppose I should think about sending it out. I’ve settled on the title THE PROZESS MANIFESTATIONS.

The contents will be as follows:

Decay
An End to Perpetual Motion
Moon Blood Red – Tide Turning
The Crimson Fog
The Court of Midnight
In the Complex

All six stories – the middle one a novelette – are interconnected by a common thread.

I envisage trying the indie press hardback merchants first so would welcome suggestions, but I don’t imagine it would see print for a couple of years at the earliest, given the usual waiting-time with publishers.

I told Mark I'd love to see a volume of his work from Swan River Press. Sarob would be cool too, if a bit more obscure.

(He's previously published with Tartarus, PS, Ex Occidente, Egaeus, and Chomu)

I also suggested Side Real, Hippocampus, Eibonvale, and Journalstone.

I am reaching for my wallet; I will physically throw the currency at whomever vends this book.

Exciting! I don't think I can endure the wait for a new Samuels collection. Here's hoping he can find a publisher soon!

[Zaharoff]

Would suggest Zagava, as well.

+1 on Swan River, but really anyone.

Ah yes, I kind of wrongly conflated this with Ex Occidente. I'm sure he's familiar with it in any case.

Even if Mark quickly finds a publisher (and I don't doubt that), it will still take quite a while until we will be able to read all of the stories - as Mark pointed out in his post. Wanting to read his novella "The Crimson Fog" is for me the main incentive to buy S. T. Joshi's soon-to-be released The Red Brain.

There are certainly other writers here if Mr Samuels wanted qualified opinions.
I think he has had dealings with many of the suggestions.
The hardcover publishers mentioned are all fine presses.
As Mr Samuels' books tend to go OP, he might take 2nd printings into consideration.
Hey! No one mentioned Arkham House!
