Remember this one from 2022? It was a Stoker Award finalist & Rue Morgue's best collection of the year, and critics hailed it as the most exciting debut since Barker & Ligotti. Well, Attila Veres is back with a new volume, and it'll be for preorder in tomorrow's email newsletter!

We found this lovely painting for free on the side of the road this evening. Not an art expert, but the frame and canvas both look old, maybe Victorian(?) I don't see a signature, so probably not a famous artist, but I think it's great. We should put it on a book cover.

Reminder that we have this exciting discovery up for preorder, a collection of weird stories from late-Victorian periodicals by the forgotten author Lionel Sparrow (1867-1936). These pulpy tales are a lot of fun if you love old Victorian Gothic stuff: valancourtbooks.com/the-jewelled-h…
