Ramble House

It's been too long since I've mentioned Ramble House here, as I was reminded when I saw John Breen's Four Star review of this novel in EQMM today. If you're not familiar with Ramble House and its offerings, go here. But not before you read about Richard Lupoff's Marblehead below.

Marblehead: "Ramble House is proud to present a new major novel by well-known editor and SF/mystery writer, Richard A. Lupoff. He wrote it in 1976 in the style of such historical novelists as John Dos Passos, James T. Farrell and Theodore Dreiser and it concerns the actions of horror novelist Howard P. Lovecraft and his literary friends in the momentous year 1927. Lupoff's 1980 novel, LOVECRAFT'S BOOK, covers the same topic but very little of the 1976 manuscript -- lost until a few years ago -- is contained in the 1980 novel. Read the story of the two publications in the introduction. MARBLEHEAD is a huge novel, 478 pages, and both the trade paperback and hardcover editions have a cover and mapback by Ramble House's Gavin L. O'Keefe."

I used to live just a few blocks from the Ramble House house in Shreveport - but had never heard of the place until I moved to Texas, and never met Fender Tucker until last year. A nice guy and terrific bookmaker.

In the non-illegal sense, of course.

Right. Fender has never engaged in any illegal activities, other than those he's written about in certain Ramble House publications.

Isn't the statute of limitations wonderful?

In some cases. Especially if you're going to write about certain "indiscretions."
