Ghosts by Gaslight goes into another printing...

Ghosts by Gaslight, which Jack co-edited with Nick Gevers, was published earlier this month. We have just received word that HarperCollins is doing another printing. (Shouts of hurray and exuberant waving of limbs)

Reviews have been great:

"Ghosts By Gaslight is a triumph of a themed anthology. Among the hundred or so books I have read this year, this one is my favorite. Acquire it at all costs. Highly recommended." (Cemetery Dance Magazine )

"Devotees of M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft and Algernon Blackwood will relish this superior anthology of original stories... It seems almost unfair to single out individual works when all 18 are superb and will be cherished by steampunk and horror fans alike.” (Publishers Weekly [starred review] )
