![]() ![]() ![]() This new edition of The Nightfarers, the first for over ten years, includes twelve of the original stories and adds two more from the same period. They depict apocalyptic dawns, strange faiths, the stare of stone masks, a Prague actuary, an astrologer in Trieste, a scholar of lost languages. Other stories are set in the afterglow of old Empires in inter-war Europe, in the same milieu as the author’s work in Secret Europe and Inner Europe (shared volumes with John Howard). There’s also the reincarnation of a decadent occult detective and another, reluctant sleuth who investigates an unusual printing press. You’ll encounter a book that speaks for itself, books that aren’t quite books, and a rare book that really draws you in. In The Nightfarers, you will discover the secret of a remote Lincolnshire island, visit the last official of a seventeenth century company of explorers, and watch for the light from a Moorish heliograph tower. ![]()
