Speaking of Blackwater, here is my edition. Being such a lovely hardback, it’s too nice to be a reading copy so I’ll either need to get the paperback or suck it up and get the individual volumes (I prefer this cover though).

Today in 2023, Valancourt Books reissued Roland Topor’s out-of-print The Tenant for a new generation. Topor celebrates both the dark & joyful sides of Paris; being here, I can see the diversity he loved: it’s a city of cool public toilet cartoons, Bonbon Bleu ice cream, and kitties in the window 💕

We're doing Christmas book recommendations in September? One question: what the hell took us so long?
Here are my non-fiction picks (I'm including historical fiction compilations here):

A couple of years ago Valancourt put out a book from an Italian horror author Luigi Musolino, and a number of people I trust really talked it up. So I got a copy and they were right.
And now Earthling has done a lovely limited hardcover of that same collection...

You'd be surprised some of the pronunciations I've heard in the course of producing our Valancourt audiobooks. Or even just weird accents/enunciations, like the guy narrating a JB Priestley book whose recording of the words "for giants" sounded for all the world like "vaginas".

Based on the amount of older classics here I bet you'd enjoy a lot of Valancourt reissues like Elizabeth Jenkins- Harriet, Harry Kressing- The Cook, or Alex Liang's The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck. They put out tons of strange forgotten treasures!

When I saw this as a kid -- so minimal it seemed nearly blank at first sight -- I *had* to read it. And it turned out to be better than I could've imagined.
The recent re-print cover is pretty good, too.

The Mysteries Of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe
Speaking of swooning...this archetypal Gothic novel sees its hapless heroine swooning more than once and weeping an ocean of tears, only matched by her equally lachrymose lover, Valancourt.

Lucy Sante once wrote that the best thing about this 1964 teens-take-over-the-world potboiler is the completely bonkers cover and I’m inclined to agree. Valancourt is publishing a new edition, so you’ll be able to decide for yourself without having to shell out collector prices.
