S.T. Joshi's new Cthulhu anthology will have a story from Tom

[david]

Tom will have a story in the new Cthulhu anthology, A Mountain Walked. Not sure which story. Also, there are 25 signatures including Tom's, T.E.D. Klein, etc. It comes out in July from Centipede Press.

It contains a whopping 29 stories (10 of them original), along with spectacular art portfolios by Erlend Mørk, Allen Koszowski, and Stanley C. Sargent, along with much other work.

Some of the authors include Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, Caitlin Kiernan, Laird Barron, Michael Shea, Patrick McGrath, Mark Samuels, and Gemma Files. Also the book contains new artwork by David Ho, John Kenn Mortensen, and Thomas Ott.

The book is oversized at 11 x 7 inches and contains 692 pages. Joshi hints on his blog that the price may be around $125 but is not totally sure. Centipede also says they’ll have the book on sale for the first couple weeks and they expect to have 500 copies sometime in mid to late July.

Each copy is signed by Thomas Ligotti, T.E.D. Klein, Laird Barron, Caitlin Kiernan, and many others. The signature pages are signed by 25 people; Centipede went halfway around the world for signatures

I just posted some of the images on Facebook. I am super-excited about this book. I thought that S. T. had posted the Table of Contents on his blog, but it may have been in his E.O.D. apazine. I'll try to find ye Contents and list it here. The art that I have seen for it is exceptional.

I just received the Sunday Centipede and it said there are to be new stories by Barron and Samuels, among others, included in A Mountain Walked.

Actually more than that. Here's what it said:
This book has over 25 stories, including new stories by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, Caitlin Kiernan, Laird Barron, Michael Shea, Patrick McGrath, Mark Samuels, Gemma Files, and others. The book also has new artwork by David Ho, John Kenn Mortensen, and Thomas Ott.

I think this question about whether I have a new story in the centipede book has cropped up here somewhere before on the TLO, so I may be repeating myself.

Anyway, it's not a new story it's my tale "A Gentleman from Mexico".

I haven't seen any signature sheets myself. It may be that the cost of sending them over to the U.K. was prohibitive, but I am not entirely sure.

Anyway, it certainly looks like being a stupendously awesome anthology.

Obviously the Contents on Joe's blog is incomplete. I remember that Shea has a story in it as S. T. was lamenting the fact that his was the one signature that the sheets would be lacking. And I thought I had read that there was a story by Laird. It's very curious that Mark hasn't gotten the signature sheets yet, as I thought S. T. was under the impression that everyone had signed them by now.

Yea, that's kind of weird that Mark hasn't gotten the signature sheets. The newsletter said there were 25 signatures. Who signed it if not all the authors?!

Also, regarding Laird's story, his blog says it's a novella called "Man with No Name." I haven't heard of it before so I think it may be original content? More info:

I loved "A Gentleman from Mexico"

I can't afford Centipede.

Abbot Francisco is a wise man. ;)

Finished this one recently. Best Joshi anthology I've come across, much better than the Black Wings offerings in my humble opinion. Not that the Black Wings series were bad, but A Mountain Walked operates on an entirely different level. Here's hoping he has a few more anthologies like this up his sleeve.

Especially enjoyed Virgin's Island, Black Man with a Horn, and The Last Feast of the Harlequin.

I recently read New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (ed. Ramsey Campbell), and Black Man With A Horn was by far the best story. Actually, I was a little disappointed by the rest of the stories. But TED Klein is someone I want to read more of!

A MOUNTAIN WALKED sold so well in trade pb that S. T. is now working on a follow-up anthology: THE RED BRAIN: GREAT TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS. I find it curious that he still wants to have "Cthulhu Mythos" in the title, but apparently doing so helps to sell books. S. T. hopes to have this book ready for Dark Regions Press by late April. I am overjoy'd that he has accepted my newest story, "Pickman's Lazarus," for this anthology.

S. T. also announced a new journal "...to be published annually (probably in summer or fall) by Hippocampus Press. I have received encouraging responses from my colleagues, but everyone associated with the magazine is faced with a perplexing difficulty: WE DO NOT HAVE A NAME FOR THE PERIODICAL! Can anyone out there help?" I wou'd think that such keen minds as wehave here at TLO cou'd come up with several fine title suggestions--all of which I will send to S. T.
Happily, for this new journal S. T. has accepted my recent complete revision of an old tale, "The Zanies of Sorrow." (brag brag brag--whut a bore...)

S. T. is also working on ye editing of a new non-Lovecraftian anthology with a theme of dreams & nightmares--but I don't think he has officially announc'd this new thing, so may not yet be taking submissions.
