THE WISDOM OF SILENUS (DUNHAMS MANOR PRESS)

[Gnosticangel]

Preordered, looking forward to it!

[Mr. Veech]

My chapbook arrived recently. Jordan Krall did a fantastic job!

Yep, mine arrived a couple of days ago. Excited to read it. When will its companion collection be going on sale?

I was told that March was a realistic estimate.

The Plutonian was generous enough to conduct an interview with me. I took the liberty of mentioning three TLO (one former) members. There's also a really good interview with Matthew Bartlett as well.

I'm a little confused: I thought that "The Wisdom of Silenus" was a "prelude" to your upcoming collection. This interview suggests it is a story in the collection... and also the name of the collection.

You have every right to be confused. I sincerely apologize. The problem is a result of my not anticipating the release of a chapbook before the actual collection. I should've changed the original title to fit the former's release.

I've contacted the powers that be to help me remedy this problem. I'm actually quite embarrassed.

Horribly embarrassed, I hope. Unbearably, even.

So, is the collection going to also include a version of Silenus?

Yes, in addition to fourteen other stories.

Lewis, while I’ve vowed to curb my chapbook purchases, I imagine I’ll be buying your collection when it’s released.

This part from the interview intrigued me:

“The first thing that struck me after finishing the collection, was how classical the structure of the stories were. In terms of style they really could have been written in 1918. They remind me of maybe Le Fanu stories or E. F. Benson works. The Wisdom of Silenus is full of stories of strange night time visitors, bizarre transformations, and somnambulist descents into darkness. But the collection does not share the more moralistic trappings of classic weird horror. I would say that it follows a more post-Ligottian depressive or abysmal viewpoint”
