Dark Regions Press Offers Two Rarities by Strantzas and Gavin

Dark Regions Press is on the march. Last month, the horror publisher began offering a reprint of Richard Gavin's Charnel Wine, and soon followed this up with a new edition of Beneath the Surface by Simon Strantzas. Both books only enjoyed limited readership in their previous incarnations, so Dark Regions has done the weird fiction community a favor by making expanded material from these rising authors available again. The books were initially released in very limited, deluxe quality hardcovers, and these are set to be followed up wider and more affordable appearances in paperback.

Strantzas and Gavin are known for artfully weaving echoes of Thomas Ligotti, Robert Aickman, and H.P. Lovecraft into tapestries dominated by their original voices. The reprinting of their earlier collections closely dovetails an expansion in popularity and critical opinion for their work. It also marks an exceptionally fast turn around for making out-of-print fiction accessible once again, a trend one hopes to see continue in the weird genre, where many years may go by with no reasonable way to acquire an author's best products.
