Starting with photography in 1958, Zdzislaw Beksinski established himself as a worldwide phenomenon and Poland's leading contemporary artist. Beksinski's fantastic works are among his best-known, and the paintings collected in The Fantastic Art Of Beksinski reveal unforgettable images of post apocalyptic landscapes obsessively packed with death and decay. Haunting, surreal, and disturbing, Beksinski's work remains both mysterious and beautiful. This black bonded leather collector's edition features some of Beksinski's most provocative work, is signed and numbered by the artist, and includes a cloth slipcase.

Come Fly with Death is a chapbook of 20 poems inspired by the artwork of the late Polish painter, Zdzislaw Beksinski. Up until the time of his murder in 2005, Beksinski created a fantastic collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs, specializing in the field of utopian art. Like Beksinski's works, the poems contained here are surrealistic and graphic. They are at times horrific, Gothic, even erotic, and apocalyptic. Above all, they attempt to serve as a rare glimpse into the heart of our most beautiful nightmares. Contains reprints from The Horror Zine, Twisted Dreams Magazine, Dark Gothic Resurrected Magazine, Indigo Rising Magazine, as well as the anthologies, Gothic Poems and Fiction, Death Head Grin Anthology Vol. 2, and Fossil Lake: An Anthology of the Aberrant. Also included are several poems never before published.

In Children of God, Mary Doria Russell further establishes herself as one of the most innovative, entertaining and philosophically provocative novelists writing today. The only member of the original mission to the planet Rakhat to return to Earth, Father Emilio Sandoz has barely begun to recover from his ordeal when the So-ciety of Jesus calls upon him for help in preparing for another mission to Alpha Centauri. Despite his objections and fear, he cannot escape his past or the future. Old friends, new discoveries and difficult questions await Emilio as he struggles for inner peace and understanding in a moral universe whose boundaries now extend beyond the solar system and whose future lies with children born in a faraway place. Strikingly original, richly plotted, replete with memorable characters and filled with humanity and humor, Children of God is an unforgettable and uplifting novel that is a potent successor to The Sparrow and a startlingly imaginative adventure for newcomers to Mary Doria Russell’s special literary magic.

Famed pulp writer Don Wandrei wrote what we could call the first "Mythos" novel among H.P. Lovecraft's associates, although it wasn't published until years later, as "The Web of Easter Island," from Arkham House. This volume is the original form of that novel, accompanied by Wandrei's mainstream novel, never published during his lifetime. It's a remarkably "modern" novel, which wouldn't pass the censorial attitudes of the 1930s when it was written. Illustrated by Wandrei's friend Rodger Gerberding. With an introduction and notes on the text by S.T. Joshi. With cover art by Jon Arfstrom

Mind Fields was originally conceived as a collection of Jacek Yerka's paintings, but when Harlan Ellison was approached to write the introduction, he was so overcome that instead he penned a short story for each piece. The result of this synergistic melding of talents, Mind Fields shows two masters at their best. Each of the nearly three dozen stories in this volume is completely unlike any of the others, and together they contain a rich panoply of pathos, humor, and wonder. Produced in a beautiful cloth edition worthy of the art within, Mind Fields is a unique item and a must for any Ellison fan.

"Ars longa, vita brevis" (Sztuka długa, życie krótkie), mawiał Hipokrates i coś w tym jest. Poprzez sztukę osiągnąć można życie wieczne. W pamięci potomnych zachowuje się to, co po nas zostaje w postaci dzieł sztuki. Czesław Czapliński, jako wibitny fotograf, dokumentował życie ludzi związanych w ten czy inny sposób ze sztuką - malarzy, tancerzy, aktorów, wokalistów, grafików, marszandów. Postanowiliśmy zebrać jego portrety w serię książek (w jednej pozycji nie sposób byłoby pomieścić wszystkich), by ocalić od zapomnienia, przybliżyć ich życie, spojrzeć wreszcie prosto w oczy. Na kadrach zdjęć zachowała się cząstka duszy bohaterów. Niektórzy już odeszli do lepszego świata, tym bardziej należy im się nasze spojrzenie. Od Autora: Przez lata przyjaźniąc się z księdzem-poetą Janem Twardowskim, robiliśmy m.in. wspólny projekt abum-wystawa: Czapliński-Twardowski „WIZYTKI Hortus Conclusus”, została mi w pamięci jego wypowiedź: „Nie umiera ten, kto trwa w pamięci żywych”. To skłoniło mnie do pisania o wybitnych ludziach i pokazywania ich zdjęć, często z przed kilkudziesięciu lat.
