Tartarus Begins Aickman Reprints

Tartarus Press has answered the pleas of many weird aficionados with their recent plans to reprint Robert Aickman's fiction. The UK publisher was previously responsible for a two volume set of Aickman's complete fiction, but was unable to offer reprints since these hefty volumes went out of print, due to changes in copyright. Now, it appears the rights to publishing Aickman are back in Tartarus' court, and with them the ability to offer sturdy hardback volumes.

As with many Tartarus collections, the print run isn't enormous, but it should be enough to satisfy aching collectors and appeal to newcomers interested in Aickman's work. These reprints may also be more accessible to international buyers than the Faber & Faber paperbacks were.

Unlike The Collected Strange Stories of Robert Aickman, these new books appear to be reissues of his original short story collections. First up is Sub Rosa in sewn hard cover and The Inner Room in trade paperback. Both are scheduled to debut in the next couple months.
