Dear Hippocampus Press customer:

Adam Niswander's latest novel THE HOUND HUNTERS has been released, and advanced orders have largely been filled. Thanks to all who ordered in advance.

There's still time to take advantage of our free book offer! Adam's first two Shaman Cycle novels are still available in limited quantities, and the author has generously agreed to allow us to extend the offer. Free copies of the first two books, THE CHARM and THE SERPENT SLAYERS, in hardcover, with the purchase of our paperback original THE HOUND HUNTERS, until supplies run out!

---------------

The next four releases from Hippocampus Press will be coming soon:
Lady Who Came to Stay AND The Elixir of Life, a Hippocampus Double book.
Classics and Contemporaries: Some Notes on Horror Fiction, by S. T. Joshi
The Unknown Lovecraft, by Kenneth W. Faig, Jr.
The Letters of H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard (2 volumes)

Cover art and finalized blurbs for these will be appearing at our website momentarily; order now to be among the first to receive these great new publications.

We are still offering a deep discount on hardcover volumes in the COLLECTED ESSAYS OF H. P. LOVECRAFT series, edited by S. T. Joshi. This is a superb chance to fill gaps in your collection, or order a set for a friend. Supplies are very limited, so don't miss out!

Announcing a long awaited project:
WEIRD WORDS: A LOVECRAFTIAN LEXICON
by Daniel Clore
Paperback: August 2009: approx. 600 pages
$25.00

"Surely one of the primary rules for writing an effective tale of horror is never to use any of these words..."
--Edmund Wilson, "Tales of the Marvellous and the Ridiculous" (1945)

This cyclopean tome of recondite erudition contains dictionary-style entries giving eldritch etymologies and demoniac definitions of the outré words that pullulate in the teratologically fabulous diction of such fantaisistes as H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and A. Merritt.

WEIRD WORDS is a remarkable work compiled by Daniel Clore, well known to Lovecraftians and weird fiction enthusiasts the world over. We are pleased to present this gathering of his philological endeavours. WEIRD WORDS is both a scholarly text with original discoveries, *and*, with its copious quotations, immensely entertaining for the general reader.
