Friends of Snuggly Books discussion

Which modern and currently active authors should Snuggly try to solicit works from and publish next? And which current authors on the roster would you like to see more from?

I always enjoy reading Connell, Hughes, Crisp, and Justin Isis - their works are always an excellent read. Keep those ones coming, I say! I thought the David Rix Snuggly Slim was great! Another experimental writer I admire is D. Harlan Wilson.

Nick Jackson, Brian Howell, Tim Nickels, Colin Insole, Yarrow Paisley (yes more!)

Oh and Douglas Thompson!

After the first Damian Murphy volume, more Damian Murphy. :)

+1 vote for everyone Ross mentioned, particularly Colin Insole.

Not much Tsutsui Yasutaka has made it to the West. He seems too interesting to meglect.

Michael Cisco is long overdue a 2nd short story collection, as it's been years since his 1st one, Secret Hours. He must have quite a lot since then, as he's been in rather a lot of anthologies since then.
I think Snuggly would be a great home for such a collection.

Bump for Cisco.

A new Cisco collection would be fantastic!

More poetry volumes from those not traditionally thought of as "poets".

Quentin S. Crisp collected writings. I'm reading "The Little One" right now and it is rewiring my brain.
Qbon surely has other manifestos, memoirs, and meditations.

I second the above also.

'The boy who played with shadows' could be in there. His essay from Wormwood. There must be a raft of material for such a collection.

We have another book by Quentin lined up, but we just haven't announced it yet.

Others beat me to mentioning Colin Insole; an affordable selected tales release would be a blessing to readers whose literary taste exceeds their spending-power.

Another fine candidate for publication would be a reprinting of Nocturnal Products by German-speaking Ligottian, Eddie M. Angerhuber.

Although I imagine this would be a far-off possibility--if even at all--I'd like to see Crisp's Morbid Tales back in print (I refuse to purchase Tartarus' electronic version of it).

I've always thought Darren Speegle would fit in well with the Snuggly roster, though he seems somewhat faithful to Raw Dog Screaming Press.

We have been in touch with Colin Insole and there seems to be a possibility of a book.

Eddie M. Angerhuber seems impossible to contact.

The problem with Quentin, is he also has a new or unpublished work. We will be publishing his "The Paris Notebooks" later this year.

We also have other things that have not yet been announced.

Good to hear about the possibility of an Insole-related publication; I'd definitely buy a paperback of selected works, if something like that were an option.

Also, this most likely will be too large a project for immediate consideration, but I think a volume of Joel Lane's collected works would be an excellent idea . His importance to underground dark fiction in the English language has grown even more obvious in his absence.

Ralph Doege please! A translation of Ende der Nacht with the same cover. Or new stuff. Anything!

-- I know there is something in the offing by Damian Murphy, however there needs to be more,

An additional vote for Michael Cisco

And of course Mr. Connell.

--

There is another Mr. Connell book planned.

Mr. Cisco, I think, was contacted regarding a certain project, but never responded.

There is, however, a book by a certain Mr. Champagne planned, with the title of Harlem Smoke.

-- Joyous words indeed, wonder no more why you all are so loved ! --

Its occurred to me that Snuggly has reprinted a few titles and authors from Ex Occidente, which I think is a great thing... to make these works more accessible. I would like to see Louis Marvick's novella, "Star Ushak" reproduced. It seems like its fin-de-siecle motifs may certainly fall in line with what Snuggly is doing with its decadent works.

Would love to read La Pietra Lunare by Tommaso Landolfi someday.

The short summary on wikipedia is very intriguing.

A Charles Wilkinson selected stories volume in trade paperback should be welcome; some of his stories are available in trade anthologies, but he's yet to release, as far as I know, a single-author book in paperback.

Also, an omnibus or at least a selected works volume of Thomas Wiloch's prose-poetry would be great, since most of his works have gone out of print and are rarely available even as used copies; his darkly surreal imagery and themes--alternately cruel and melancholy--should make him a fine fit in the Snuggly bibliography; in addition, Thomas Ligotti was\is a fan of Wiloch.
