what critics are saying about valancourt books
“[W]e owe a debt of gratitude to the publisher Valancourt, whose aim is to resurrect some neglected works of literature, especially those incorporating a supernatural strand, and make them available to a new readership.”
Times Literary Supplement (London)
“Valancourt Books champions neglected but important works of fantastic, occult, decadent and gay literature. The press’s Web site not only lists scores of titles but also explains why these often obscure books are still worth reading. . . . So if you’re a real reader, one who looks beyond the bestseller list and the touted books of the moment, Valancourt’s publications may be just what you’re searching for.”
Michael Dirda, Washington Post
“Valancourt Books are fast becoming my favorite publisher. They have made it their business, with considerable taste and integrity, to put back into print a considerable amount of work which has been in serious need of republication. If you ever felt there were gaps in your reading experience or are simply frustrated that you can’t find enough good, substantial fiction in the shops or even online, then this is the publisher for you.”
Michael Moorcock
