Of course we know from experience how massively difficult it is to run a non-fiction print journal. We've got one called THE GREEN BOOK that features commentaries, articles, and reviews on Irish Gothic, Supernatural and Fantastic literature.

Glad you are enjoying the books. FJOB deserves a much larger following and reputation.

Highly recommend, very interesting and eclectic selection of stories.

We got plenty of terrible females leaders in the US.

Agreed, some of the best independent press books on the market, hands down.

SRP Lord Dunsany would rock!!!

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Please let one story have a happy ending!

Finally finished the volume. Lots of good stuff in there, but I think my favorites were the last two.

I think a number of writers lifted ideas from FJOB. Lovecraft's "The Music of Erich Zann" is really similar to "The Lost Room." But that's ok, he lifted a number of concepts from Poe and others.

I argue in the intro to v3 of my collection of FJOB volumes that A. Merritt's story is not just coincidentally similar to O'Brien's "The Wondersmith." 1942 copy of Merritt's novel, original copy of "The Wondersmith" (1859), and my v3 2025 @swanriverpress.bsky.social edition of FJOB.
