Campbell, Burroughs, and now Wellman, 2019 has been quite the year for rediscovering unpublished works.
Haffner Press is pleased to announce the upcoming release of an unpublished story by Manly Wade Wellman. Originally commissioned for the never released anthology The Last Dangerous Visions, “Not All a Dream”opens with poet/politician Lord Byron (1788-1824) musing over the status of his literary canon in years to come. Admiring the lasting legacy of John Milton, Byron accepts an offer to learn the truce place of his works in centuries hence—a nightmare vision gained by traveling into a dangerous future . . .
How can you get a copy of this story? Well, if you’ve placed a preorder for Manly Wade Wellman’s two-volume omnibus THE COMPLETE JOHN THE BALLADEER, then you’re already set to receive it! (Congratulations, you wise, prescient reader!)
Otherwise, you have between now and the release of THE COMPLETE JOHN THE BALLADEER on October 31, 2019 at the World Fantasy Convention in Los Angeles to place a preorder and receive “Not All a Dream” as an exclusive 32-page chapbook at no additional charge.$90 for a two-volume limited edition hardcover set featuring the short story collection "Who Fears the Devil?" and five novels. While I wish Manly Wade Wellman's works were not limited to special editions these days, and far more accessible to readers, this is not a collection to pass up on.
Thanks for the shout-out. I agree with both your points. I wish Wellman's works were available in more economical editions. Other than the trade paperback of WORSE THINGS WAITING, his work is hard to come by. I also agree that this is not a collection to pass up.
