Penguin, Joshi, del Toro "do" Machen

[j d worthington]

Been out of touch with what's going on lately, but in looking at some of Wilum's vlogs, I came across one featuring S. T. Joshi talking about some of his upcoming projects, one of which is a very nice Penguin edition of Arthur Machen:

Joshi remarks that del Toro's preface is quite exceptional, and shows a very sophisticated understanding of Machen, that this piece alone is worth the price of the book... and, from what I've seen of Guillermo's comments on various literary subjects, this may well be right. At any rate, it's good to see these stories once again becoming available in a widely-distributed format, and Joshi's notes are sure to contain much information of interest....

*chuckle* You think that's bad? Due to looking up some other information, I am now signed up for newsletters from about 6 small press publishers, all of which will (among many other items of interest) shortly be publishing several things of interest to Lovecraftians like myself. Without sitting down to figure out the exact number, we're probably looking at about 15-20 books of that nature within the next 2-3 months, none of this is exactly cheap.....

And now I want the newsletters too. Info please.

I can be warned but I can't be saved.
