Swan River Press have just announced the latest issue of their journal The Green Book, Writings on Irish Gothic, Supernatural and Fantastic Literature, and this time it is devoted to J Sheridan Le Fanu, offering several rarities by and about him.
These include a rediscovered monograph memoir of the author written by his publisher, and introduced by Jim Rockhill, and an essay by Martin Voracek about a 1942 German language sequel to 'Green Tea'. There is also a completely overlooked poem by Le Fanu, and an essay by him on Chapelizod, together with a note by Albert Power about the author's association with this quarter of Dublin. Jim Rockhill also writes on 'False Ghosts and Spurious Le Fanu'.
As ever, The Green Book is essential for any reader or scholar interested in Irish literature or the literature of the fantastic.
I ordered Green Book 25 yesterday from Swan River.
ReplyDeleteI miss the Wormwood Review that Tartarus Press used to publish but Green Book is still around.
