Silver Salamander Press is pleased to announce the first collection of the short fiction of acclaimed author Stephen Laws. Long known as one of the premier novelists in the horror genre, Mr Laws novels such as Spectre, Somewhere South of Midnight, and Chasm frequently appear on the "all time best" lists of authorities such as Stephen Jones and Stanley Wiater. What is not known by most American readers is that over the last decade, Mr. Laws has produced a small but remarkable body of short fiction. This book collects the majority of Mr. Laws' short fiction in one massive volume of over 80,000 words! Included herein are tales ranging from the bone-chilling horror of "The Crawl' to the surrealistic "Yesterday I Flew With the Birds" to the beautiful and horrific "The Song My Sister Sang". Whether it be the traditional Jamesian haunt like that portrayed in "He Who Laughs" or a modern tale of urban terror like "The Black Cab"; Stephen Laws demonstrates that his short fiction is every bit the equal of his acclaimed novels. In this edition, noted artist Fredrik King has provided cover art, and Mr. Laws has written new introductory material for the book. Limited to 300 SIGNED Hardback copies. Signed by Author.

SYNOPSIS 
 Thomas Nigel Kneale may not be a household name, but those who know him revere him. And those who don t know the name, will certainly have felt his influence. In many ways the father of television drama in the UK, he was also, in every way, a successor to H.G. Wells and M.R. James in his impact. The missing link in the genre chain that leads from Wells to J.G. Ballard. Why is he so little known? Perhaps because he was a screenwriter in the days before TV thought to preserve its output, and because many of his most successful works dealt with Science Fiction and the Supernatural. But he was a pioneer. He pushed the medium in a new direction with THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT, forging a more vivid, more cinematic means of telling stories, with Producer/Director Rudolph Cartier. He demanded more from Television... in terms of style, and content. Filling his stories with ideas as well as emotion. Time after time, he broke new ground, tested the boundaries; provoked as he enthralled, made us think as he made us feel... THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT, THE YEAR OF THE SEX OLYMPICS, QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, THE ROAD, THE STONE TAPE, BEASTS... In the UK, there s not a single TV drama dealing in Speculative ideas that does not owe him a debt; directly, or by the ripples of influence that preceded them... Now the authors, critics and screenwriters who have been moved and influenced by his work, come together to celebrate his life, his work, and his extraordinary legacy in: WE ARE THE MARTIANS: The Legacy Of Nigel Kneale.
