Haffner Press Big Poobah Stephen Haffner writes to tell us of The Michael Gray Murders, a “new Henry Kuttner & Catherine L. Moore book coming in 2012. We are announcing this massive collection of four novels from the greatest husband-wife writing team in genre history. This 700+page volume collects the four paperbacks from the late 1950s featuring San Fransisco’s consulting psychoanalyst Michael Gray:
1. The Murder of Ann Avery
2. The Murder of Eleanor Pope
3. Murder of a Mistress
4. Murder of a Wife
“Aside from a 1980s reprint of Murder of a Wife, this is the first hardcover edition of these texts and we are working with a vintage paperback artist for an original cover.”
They’re offering the book as part of a special “preorder three new books and get a bonus chapbook” offer (see the left margin of Haffner Press’s home page). “As with previous offers, customers who prepay $120 for The Complete John Thunstone, The Complete I.V. Frost, and The Michael Gray Murders will receive an exclusive bonus chapbook with contributions from out four authors involved with these three books.” The books are scheduled for 2012 publication.
In other news, Haffner tells us “the 200 copies of Thirty-Five Years of the Jack Williamson Lectureship released during the Lectureship and autographed by several attendees [see this article] have all been sold. We have additional unsigned stock on hand and we will keep the price at $19.00. Proceeds go to the Williamson Lectureship Fund. Visit http://haffnerpress.com/jw35.html to order.”
Also, they still have “about 80 copies of the 2007 memorial book, In Memory of Wonder’s Child priced at $15. This edition is autographed by many contributors and once they’re gone… they’re gone. Proceeds from this book go to the Blanche and Jack Williamson Scholarship Fund.”
