The warheads have come down.
The reign of mankind ends when the mushroom clouds appear in the skies and the cities become irradiated tombs, nuclear graveyards that are grim testament of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.
Now there is only survival.
Terrible, brutal day by day existence in the atomic wastelands, a dark plutonium netherworld of monsters and mutants, madmen and roving gangs. And those awful, malevolent things that are even worse.
The dead are the lucky ones.
Welcome to the day after tomorrow.
Welcome to doomsday.

This is the true 1965 first edition, first printing of SURFING by H. Arthur Klein, published by J. B. Lippincott Company, retaining its original unclipped dust jacket. While later printings from the same publication year are encountered more frequently, authentic first printings are considerably more difficult to locate, particularly in this level of preservation.
Surfing remains one of the classic early works documenting the history, culture, techniques, equipment, personalities, and evolution of surfing during one of the sport’s most influential eras.
Richly illustrated throughout with period surfing photography, instructional diagrams, and historical content, the book captures the spirit and rapid evolution of the sport during the mid-1960s. Covering wave knowledge, surfing techniques, equipment, competition, and the expanding influence of surf culture, it remains an important title within vintage surfing literature and an increasingly desirable addition to serious surfing
Pay the Piper (Signed & Slipcased Limited Edition) (preorder)
by George A. Romero and Daniel Kraus
Publication Date: Est. August/September 2026
First Hardcover Edition
“Not only is this deliciously gruesome book teeming with classic Southern gothic trappings, it also resonates with a socially conscious message. . . . For fans of both Kraus's novels and Romero's films, this bloody Southern story highlights the strengths of both auteurs.”—Library Journal
A terrifying tale of supernatural horror set in a cursed Louisiana bayou, from the minds of legendary director George A. Romero and New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize–winning author Daniel Kraus.
In 2019, while sifting through University of Pittsburgh Library System’s George A. Romero Archival Collection, novelist Daniel Kraus turned up a surprise: a half-finished novel called Pay the Piper, a project few had ever heard of. In the years since, Kraus has worked with Romero’s estate to bring this unfinished masterwork to light.
Alligator Point, Louisiana, population 141: Young Renée Pontiac has heard stories of “the Piper”—a murderous swamp entity haunting the bayou—her entire life. But now the legend feels horrifically real: children are being taken and gruesomely slain. To resist, Pontiac and the town’s desperate denizens will need to acknowledge the sins of their ancestors—the infamous slave traders, the Pirates Lafitte. If they don’t . . . it’s time to pay the piper.

Praise for Pay the Piper
“A captivating triumph for horror fans.”
—Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory
“A great action-packed horror novel . . . for fans of waterlogged southern gothic with monsters that prey off the complicated history of a land and its people.”
—Booklist
“Not only is this deliciously gruesome book teeming with classic Southern gothic trappings, it also resonates with a socially conscious message. . . . For fans of both Kraus's novels and Romero's films, this bloody Southern story highlights the strengths of both auteurs.”
—Library Journal
“Pay the Piper features many of Romero's creative hallmarks—creepy creatures, icky deaths, and under-the-surface social commentary . . . The novel demonstrates a knack for the kind of patient, expansive storytelling Romero couldn't always squeeze into his big-screen efforts. . . . To those who celebrated (or perhaps derided) Romero as the dean of the dead, the completed novel offers a chance to reconsider his legacy.”
—New York Times
“Romero and Kraus start with a fun monster-fighting book set in the swamp. While they have us looking over our shoulders, they end with us looking within. . . . Accountability, with destruction as the consequence should we not fulfill it, is the cautionary tale with the possibility of a hopeful resolution we crave.”
—Southern Review of Books

A haunting meditation on the dichotomies—and surprising parallels—of science and the soul, Kate Wilhelm’s Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang is one of the most celebrated science fiction novels of the 20th century. Winner of the Hugo, Locus, Jupiter and John W. Campbell Memorial awards, it remains as poignant and prescient today as when it first appeared.
In a near-future ravaged by ecological collapse and human infertility, the Sumner family, a large and wealthy clan in Virginia, takes drastic steps to preserve the species—through cloning. Initially, this strategy ensures survival, but as generations pass, the cloned society begins to experience a quiet unraveling. What begins as a utopian solution soon gives way to existential questions about identity, creativity, and the cost of conformity. With prose as elegant as it is unsettling, Wilhelm explores what it truly means to be human in a world where individuality is the ultimate rebellion.
Before the publication of Wilhelm’s novel, part one of Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang was featured in the fifteenth edition of Orbit, an anthology series celebrated for showcasing boundary-pushing science fiction that challenged the norms of the genre. Upon the novel’s full publication by Harper & Row in 1976, Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang was universally hailed by critics and peers alike as a landmark work of speculative fiction by a pioneering voice.
Wilhelm’s novel endures as a profound exploration of humanity’s essence, reminding us that survival devoid of individuality and creativity leads to a hollow existence.

SYCAMORE by Ian Rogers
Back in 1945, the first portal opened–a tear in reality leading from our world into the mysterious Black Lands, a realm of perpetual night filled with strange and deadly entities. Soon another portal appeared. Then another. Today, the government secures every portal they find, but with more and more opening, and no idea how to predict or prevent the next one’s arrival, society is teetering on the brink of panic.
Felix Renn knows the Black Lands all too well. His career as a private investigator has dragged him closer to it than most, and has garnered him a reputation for dealing with supernatural threats. But people who interact with the Black Lands have a habit of turning up dead in horrible ways–if they turn up at all–so when the chance comes up to take on a simple missing person’s case in the small town of Sycamore, he eagerly jumps at the opportunity.
Only, something else is happening in Sycamore too. A serial killer is on the loose, and as the bodies continue to pile up, it becomes clear that the perpetrator may be something less–or someone more–than human.
Felix may have thought he was done with the Black Lands, but he soon discovers a terrifying truth: the Black Lands isn’t done with him.
This signed limited edition also included a new 32,000 word novella, The Sun Never Rises.

EMINENCE FRONT
by Rebecca Rowland
A winter storm ravages a small community in New England, but the residents of one street are unprepared for what the snow brings: an ancient curse, an entity that knows both their sins and their regrets and will stop at nothing to consume what belongs to it.
When John Stephenson peers out of his window on a Tuesday morning, he sees nothing but clear, gray skies hovering above the houses on his staid suburban street, but the next 48 hours will prove to be a waking nightmare from which John and his neighbors cannot escape. As the first flakes fall, the whispering begins. A woman walking her dog leans into the sidewalk as though something buried beneath speaks to her. As the storm grows in ferocity, each of the residents hear the storm calling.
What it says, however, few may survive to repeat.
From Shirley Jackson and Bram Stoker Award finalist Rebecca Rowland comes a winter horror novel of cosmic proportions, one in which one neighborhood comes face to face, and ear to ear, with a malevolence as old as the world itself.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN by Cormac McCarthy, Suntup Numbered Edition, There are no purchase rights for future Suntup Editions included with this purchase. The book will be packed carefully for the utmost protection and will be shipped fully insured. Descriptions and pics courtesy of Suntup Editions.
The Numbered edition of two-hundred fifty copies is a full leather binding with the title blind debossed into the leather, across the entire cover using a heated die creating a deep, branded impression that darkens the surface and enhances the natural grain. The effect is raw and elemental, aligning with the stripped-down brutality of the narrative.
We have selected a distinctive vegetable-tanned leather from the renowned Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Known as “Pueblo,” this leather is hand-finished to achieve a uniquely distressed, almost sand-worn texture that evokes the parched desert landscapes and sun-beaten terrain of Cormac McCarthy’s borderland setting. The surface of the leather bears a subtle rugged grain, its visual irregularities and tonal depth suggesting scars and weathering that echo the characters of the novel.
Endsheet papers are Napura Khepera and head & tail bands are handmade with leather. The edition is housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Dubletta cloth with velour lined trays. It is printed letterpress on Neenah Cotton paper and is signed by Joseph Zbukvic.

Hendrix’s genius as a horror writer is his ability to develop complex, human-scale emotional arcs . . . Never before has one of his books so aptly met the moment . . . at turns frightening, anxiety-producing, infuriating, beautiful and sad.”—The New York Times
They were never girls, they were witches . . . .
They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, to give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.
Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, frightened, and alone. Under the watchful eye of the stern Miss Wellwood, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. There’s Rose, a hippie who insists she’s going to find a way to keep her baby and escape to a commune. And Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby’s father. And Holly, a wisp of a girl, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.
Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by the adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid . . . and it’s usually paid in blood.
