Award-Winning curator Nicole Petit presents a dark fantasy clash between the Cthulhu Mythos and Arthurian Legend. When King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, he established more than a nation. He established an ideal. Where righteousness and learning could thrive. Where valiant knights battled evil. Camelot, the incorruptible dream. From beyond the stars and before time, something stirs. Spoken of in the Necronomicon, eldritch gods make their influence known. Awakened by loathsome constellations, they arise from sea-locked tombs and turn men's minds from outer spheres. The Mythos, the corrupting nightmare. Tonight, the stars are right over Camelot. Troupes of actors travel the land in patronage to a king draped in yellow, monks turn their service to a god dreaming in the sea, and living storms stalk the winters. How knights such as Gawain, Percival, Ascamore, and Lancelot respond will save or damn all things. Shadows Over Avalon: Volume One features all-new stories by Dylan Freeman, Richard Sheppard, Josh Reynolds, Edward M. Erdelac, Simon Bucher-Jones, Ethan Sabatella, Timothy Williams, Tim Mendees, and Tim Hanlon.

Modernism-Dada-Postmodernism collects, updates, integrates and contextualizes the critic Richard Sheppard's essays on the historical avant-garde. Sheppard's topic in all of these essays is the modernist writers', artists', and philosophers' linguistic and visual responses to a changed sense of reality and human nature. Beginning with an overview of the problematics of European modernism, Sheppard establishes the dialectical relationship between the cultural crisis that occurred during the period 1880-1936 and the different responses from European modernists and the avant-garde. With its combination of classic and new essays and its perspective on the theoretical avant-garde/modernism debate in the United States, Sheppard's volume should give the specialist as well as the general reader an insight into the highest sample of European scholarly discourse on this subject.

Zeitungen und Zeitschriften sind eine reichhaltige Quelle fur unbekannte Texte bekannter Autoren. Dies gilt besonders fur die ersten drei Jahrzehnte dieses Jahrhunderts. Diese Bibliographie dokumentiert die Beitrage deutscher Autoren der Avantgarde und Arbeiterdichter zu sieben der Hauptorgane der deutschen Linken zwischen 1917 und 1922 - einer Zeit des politischen Aufruhrs, in der viele Avantgarde-Kunstler mit unterschiedlichem Erfolg Verbindungen zwischen sich und den grossen linken Parteien herzustellen und zu gestalten suchten."
