The Deep Museum Rare Hardcover OOP Ash-Tree Press Mylar

Description: World Fantasy Award-winning writer and editor Jessica Amanda Salmonson has collected together the majority of her ghostly tales and poems for this long-awaited volume. Subtitled 'Ghost Stories of a Melancholic', The Deep Museum demonstrates the ways in which many people find themselves susceptible to the supernatural; particularly those who are suffering from depression, or from the loneliness which besets so many, even in the middle of a bustling modern city. Here other worlds slip subtly into our own: sometimes welcome, sometimes not; misunderstood and feared by many, but accepted by those who find their lives lacking something which the natural world cannot provide.In a section titled 'Legends of Old America', Salmonson presents tales of ghosts, demons, and witchcraft of the Northwest, the Great Lakes region, and the Deep South. Most of these stories have their origins in folklore and traditional tales, and draw on the rich legends which abound in every region of the United States, but which are too often turned into fodder for campfire tales or urban legends. Lyric verse makes up the section entitled 'Bone Wings', while the eighteen pieces which make up 'The Forsaken Reliquary: A Catalog of Imaginary Lithographic Tints' tell a continuous story from the point of view of someone dead.Taken together, the stories and poems which make up The Deep Museum provide a glimpse into another world—one which exists more or less peacefully beside the one we know, but which is ready to snare the reckless, the unwary, or the unfortunate.Contents:Part I: THE DEEP MUSEUMThe House That Knew No HateThe Toad WitchIn the Red HouseJeremiahHarmless GhostsThe Hounds of the HearthThe HotelA Mere TragedyThe ItinerantThe Phantom ShipAutumn GuestBlind Man on the BusA Mirror for the Eyes of WinterThe Hungering Lass, A Little Legend of the RhineThe NoviciateMamishka and the SorcererThe ApartmentPart II: BONE WINGSBone WingsIn the Palace of DreamsIn the Looking Glass, Life Is DeathHouse of OmensAgnostic's Final BreathLuteWalk in SableDream-taughtBlack the WaterGranny ObiaNight Edged in SilverPuppetSheeted TravelerTomorrow I Will Slink AwayLittle Sad SpiritNo One in the HouseBlack RainbowThe CronePart III: THE FORSAKEN RELIQUARYA Catalog of Imaginary Tints: Poem (In a Broken Suitcase)The Mournful PangolinMnemosyne's Dew-laden HarpThe Satyr with the Hairbrush TailA Midnight Ride in the Garden of AbominationThis Is Our In-and-Out PlanetThinking of Mrs PartridgeSwan Gate RecitalMice Bear Dreams out of TwilightThe Girl with Bluejays in Her ChestThe Tragedy of SeraphimIn the Party RoomThe Flattering Decline of TotiSpider in the Eye of the MoonMy Life with AthenaThe Grocery Runor, Three PercussionsTheme for Burned OrphanageEnvoi (Scourging the Ancient of Days)Part IV: LEGENDS OF OLD AMERICAGhoul John and the CorpseThe Mysterious Hermit of Little FallsThe Woman Who Turned to SoapExplanation of a GhostExcerpt from an Old JournalJohn and the Magic SkilletThe Night It CameMrs Carr's Tale of Peshnekai's GhostThe Fairhaven Phantom Train: A Christmas Ghost StoryThe Last PassengerThe Headless ColonelThe Queen MumSources and acknowledgments
