The Moons At Your Door: The Hardback & Paperback Editions Of David’s Anthology Of Strange Tales That Influenced Him And C93
The Moons At Your Door: The Hardback Edition
The hardback edition of David’s anthology was delivered to us, and to the publishers Strange Attractor, last week. It looked beautiful. But it was only 93% perfect; there was a small printing error, and we all took the decision to return the book to the printers for pulping and reprinting. We want this book to be perfect in every way, not just 93%. So we hope to have the reprinted volume back in about 3 weeks, when we will send them out. The chapbook that accompanies all hardback orders (whether ordered from us or from Strange Attractor), Montague Summers’ The Grimoire, arrives on Monday and will be sent out with the hardback. The special gift that accompanies all copies of the hardback is already here, and will be sent in the same packet as the hardback and chapbook. Apologies for these delays, which are out of our hands.
The Moons At Your Door: The Paperback Edition
The paperback edition of this book, which is identical in every way to the hardback, except in its binding and in its lacking the pictorial endpapers of the hardback, is now out and available at all good and bad bookshops.
The Moons At Your Door & The 2-sided Swastikas For Noddy Signed And Numbered Screen-prints
These finally arrived with us this week, after a delay that due to illness, and we will be sending them out this week. The luminescence on the The Moons At Your Door screen-print is especially beautiful, although I found it impossible to take a photograph which showed how strongly it glows.
The Moons At Your Door 3 LP Special Edition
We have received all the paper parts for this item. The last thing that needs to be done is the screen printing of David’s designs on the blank sides of the three 12” records; the delay with this is due to David’s redrawing the designs. We hope this item at last will be ready in the next 4 weeks. Apologies again for the delay.

Gef The Talking Mongoose
I am utterly fascinated by this case. My friend Christopher Josiffe’s book on Gef the Talking Mongoose, to be published in the Autumn by Strange Attractor will be the first on Gef since Harry Price and Richard Stanton Lambert’s classic The Haunting of Cashen’s Gap (Methuen & Co., London, 1936), one of my favourite, favourite, favourite books ever, which is now very scarce. A good overview of the case can be seen here. A shorter overview is here.
