Arkham House -- Bibliography; Arkham House -- History; Publishers and publishing -- United States
During its first twenty years, Arkham House cancelled publication plans
for certain books. Among these were J. Sheridan LeFanu’s novel, _The
House by the Churchyard_, and the anthology, _The Death Fetch and Other
Gothic Tales_, edited by Stephen Grendon, both of which would have
proved too costly to bring out, and would, on the basis of interest
expressed, have sold far too slowly to warrant publishing. Among these
also were the late Henry Kuttner’s _Mimsy Were the Borogoves_ and C.
L. Moore’s _Shambleau and Other Tales_, which were announced, but not
published because authors and publisher could not agree on contractual
terms. Certain other announced titles--A. E. Van Vogt’s _Away and
Beyond_ and _The World of Null-A_, and Fritz Leiber Jr.’s _Gather,
Darkness!_ and _Conjure Wife_, were released to other publishers who
could do more for them.
Arkham House faces the coming years with confidence. Added to the
bibliography which is appended, Arkham House hopes and expects to
publish, among others, the following books within the coming years:
