Writer/publisher/editor John Pelan just sent out a Winter Catalog with a lot of items for sale that would definitely be of interest to Weird Tradition members:
Winter Booklist 2011 Version 2.1
Section 1. Hardcover Books
Section 2. Midnight House, Darkside Press, & Dancing Tuatara Press
Section 3. Pulps, Magazines & Fanzines
Section 4. Collectible Paperbacks
I'd just copy the whole thing over here, but I'm not sure how legal that would be as far as LT goes, since it's a price list. Email John and request it:
darkmidhouseATyahoo.com
(LT won't let me put in the "at" symbol")

Obituary Note: John C. Pelan
John C. Pelan, author, editor and publisher, died April 12 of an apparent heart attack. He was 63.
"A significant figure in the dark fantasy and horror field, best known for founding numerous small presses and editing anthologies," Locus magazine wrote, Pelan founded Axolotl Press in 1986, publishing work by James P. Blaylock, Charles de Lint, Tim Powers, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Michael Shea, and more. In the 1990s, he founded Darkside Press, bringing classics of genre fiction back to print, and Silver Salamander, an imprint devoted to modern horror that published work by Brian Hodge, Thomas Ligotti, Elisabeth Massie, and more. At the same time, he co-founded Midnight House. In recent years, he ran the Dancing Tuatara imprint at Ramble House.
Pelan was a well-known anthologist, prolific essayist and reviewer. He also published more than 30 stories, some in collaboration with Edward Lee. Some of his short fiction was collected in Darkness, My Old Friend (2016). His longer works include The Colour Out of Darkness (1998) and two collaborations with Lee, Shifters (1998) and Family Tradition (2002).

RIP. That's too young. I'm lucky to have the Fritz Leiber and Joseph Payne Brennan Midnight House volumes, along with a lot of Centipede Press books he either edited or contributed to.
