Darkly Bright Press is open for pre-ordering their limited hardcover edition of Arthur Machen's The Terror. This "New Critical Edition of the Mythopoeic Classic"includes the original Daily News serial of the text ("The Great Terror" October 1916), that of the first hardcover edition of the novel (Duckworth, February 1917), and the condensed version for the American periodical The Century Magazine ("The Coming of the Terror" October 1917). There are additional essays by Dale Nelson, Thomas Kent Miller, David Llewellyn Dodds, Fr. John Bethancourt, and myself (part of my contribution appeared in a recent issue of Faunus, though I've added a new section to it for this book version). Also considered is Machen's revised edition of 1927, with its unfortunate addition of one paragraph near the end, and a discussion of Emlyn Williams's unproduced screenplay, based on the novel. Plus lots of annotations (by editor Christopher Tompkins) and other associated items of interest.
A flier is copied below, but do check out the publisher's pre-order page which can be found here.
