Emilianna by Douglas Thompson

Emilianna by Douglas Thompson – the actual books in my hand. They are looking how I was hoping they would … quite simple covers, a rare attempt at figurative drawing. And of course, quite a low-key roller-coaster of a story. Haunting, surreal, melancholy, precise, ranting, twisting around, elegiac, doomed. It’s available to order now over in the Eibonvale Press website, and as usual, don’t forget the chapbook bundle deals!

New chapbook release!

We’re pleased to announce our newest release, The January Estate by Charles Wilkinson! This chapbook  presents a pair of stories that showcase the author’s unique style. Wilkinson writes with a classical and subtle touch, mixing quiet historical writing with the haunting weird tale, shot through with elegance and refinement. This is the type of writing that slowly seeps its way into your mind, and that pulls you in slowly until you find yourself deep in the strangeness of it all. Available in hardcover and trade paperback, the chapbook can be purchased here.

New chapbook release: My Rabbit’s Shadow Looks Like a Hand by Rhys Hughes!

We are pleased to announce the release of a brand new Rhys Hughes title, the experimental novella My Rabbit’s Shadow Looks Like a Hand! This 80-page beauty is visually comparable to our previous Hughes book, How Many Times and also shares its experimental and innovative nature – from parallel columns and text grids to stories within stories, and more – all combined into a unique and cohesive Hughesian whole.

Note: rabbits image provided by the author as part of the novella.

Available to order here.

New Titles Released – Dabbling With Diabelli, La Ronde and The Neo-Decadent Cookbook.

Eibonvale has recently released three new titles, which are now available to order in both hardcover and paperback.

Dabbling With Diabelli by D F Lewis

Originally published in paperback with an extremely limited release, this book collects thirty of D F Lewis’s favourite short stories, all demonstrating his unique style at the intersection of genre, literature and outsider art.  Click here for more info: http://www.eibonvalepress.co.uk/books/books_diabelli.htm

 

La Ronde by Colin Fisher

The latest book in the Eibonvale Chapbook Line.  There are few rivalries bitterer than that of siblings, and few more ferocious than that of art.

Sébastien and Gabrielle Laronde are the most exquisite expression of fin de siècle Avignon. Artists without compare, they exist in eternal competition vying for the supreme accolade – not the acclaim of their peers, but to be found worthy of their family and its mysterious legacy.

In prose as sumptuous and rich as any of the Laronde sculptures and paintings, the twins’ simmering resentments weave a sensuous spell about the Vaucluse artworld. Drawn into their orbit, a new muse brings Sébastien the promise of perfection; his prize lies within the shining stone, but whose craft can be its equal?

A Look at Curious Births to Light the Universe

Here is a look at the cover of Brendan Connell’s chapbook Curious Births to Light the Universe. This style of art is very different to the usual Eibonvale covers, but one that I really enjoy doing and one that I hope rather lends itself to chapbooks.  I hope there will be more of these.

Just to reiterate, there will be only 50 copies of this 44 page book of microfictions and they will only be available as a free gift alongside Hardcover preorders of his collection Pleasant Tales, or as a special bundle with the paperback. Visit the Eibonvale Press website for more info and to get copies while they last.  Way over half of them have already sold, so if you want a copy of this, don’t delay too much longer!
