Om mig I'm the founder and publisher of Valancourt Books, the bestest small press in the whole, wide world. I'm also, in my spare time, an attorney. I live in Kansas City with two literarily inclined cats, Valancourt and Vathek.

Om mitt bibliotek I'm primarily interested in rare novels from 1790-1830 and the 1890s. Of particular interest are books published by the Minerva Press, Gothic novels, supernatural and detective fiction. I also collect some scarce modern books, especially those published by the Coltsfoot and Acolyte Presses. A substantial percentage of the books in my library can be found in fewer than five libraries worldwide, and at least one is apparently unique.

Which book is unique?

You might be interested in one of my LJ communities -- ripping_yarns. It's very small as yet but I have hopes for it.

The author was a journalist/fiction writer, contemporary of Bierce, based in San Francisco. The book I mentioned is a collection of short stories, styled as "contes-cruels." Several of the stories can be found in scattered horror story anthologies. The original book had a lovely "decadent" design: blood red cloth with a gold dragon on the front cover. It is a rare book and I for one would love to buy a hardcover copy of a competent facsimile. Hint. Hint.

Thanks so much for bringing such wonderful books back into print. I'm a huge fan of early Gothic, and I hope to one day own all of Valancourt's catalog.

I am hooked on Valancourt Books!!! I started by purchasing the Northanger Canon ("Castle of Wolfenbach," "The Necromancer," "Midnight Bell," etc) and now I've expanded to other works like "Curios" and "The Joss" (Richard Marsh), "The Witch of Ravensworth," and am eagerly awaiting the release of Bram Stoker's "The Mystery of the Sea." I look forward to reading and discovering more from VB!! Thanks for bringing such great stories back into print!

I've just received copies of 'Terrific Tales' and 'The Castle of Berry Pomeroy', and wanted to tell you what beautifully produced books I think they are.

I just finished 'Rust of Gold', and enjoyed the entire collection very much. As my primary fictional love is all things supernatural, my favorite tale was "A Ghost of the Sea", but I also liked "The Skirts of Chance" as well.

It's next on my reading list. I also ordered 'The Castle of Berry Pomeroy'. Your wonderful catalog is going to play havoc with my book budget!

I love your press, although it's making me spend a lot of money. :)

As a practicing lawyer I envy you for leaving the profession to follow a cooler calling. But I need to stay in funds in order to buy books, including Valancourt titles. Eventually I plan to buy, and hopefully read, all of them. I have picked up The Magic Ring, by the way. Keep up the good work!

Your press looks so intriguing! I looooove Broadview Press and their reprints, and Valancourt seems similiar (not that I'm calling it derivative, mind you!!). What is the actual typeface like? Is it a facsimile of the original, or is the text reset in a modern font? Yay 18th-19th century obscure fiction! I'll have to choose a title to buy ASAP!

oh yes, I'm loving the Valancourt series! thank you for putting those texts back into print. I'm keenly awaiting The Magic Ring later this year. :)
