Date: Mon, 29 May 95 14:40:18 EDT From: "Ellen Greenblatt" Obelesk Books/Triangle Titles, Mail Order Titles -- 1995 Catalog P O Box 1118, Elkton, MD 21922-1118 REVIEWS & DESCRIPTIONS OF OBELESK BOOKS/TRIANGLE TITLES: Obelesk Books: "Some Strange Chapbooks. Erotic, strange, terrifying, unique - with original stories that 'stretch the envelope' of speculative fiction in the '90s. They are for a mature audience, and rightly so, since the editors and publishers take them so seriously... Seriously corrupt, emotionally charged writing." - Teresa Witmer, True Review A CRIMSON KIND OF EVIL "'The Catching' was my first encounter with Barbara's Malenky's short fiction... I'll predict a very successful career for this ex-Georgian and current resident of Texas, who uses her familiar territory to excellent effect in this tale that's Southern Gothic with a flair for eloquent story telling that whispers 'Ray Bradbury' to me, albeit far darker and more twisted, but the heart of childhood wonderment's still glowing there, and I can think of no higher compliment for any writer! Another exceptionally well-written tale is 'Mask of Blood', by Gwen M'Clatchey, a deftly shifting POV seen through the eyes and voices of a multiple personality... 'Skin City', by Gemma Files is admirably sharp-edged and spare, and yes, seriously mindf****ing, as I've found to be the case, so far, with everything I've read by her. This lady uses language like a weapon, and damn! She's good with it!"-t. Winter-Damon, 'The Unquiet, the Unburied', Dead of Night Magazine A CRIMSON KIND OF EVIL "A tasty compendium of love, sex, violence, and death, with tales you won't find in The New Yorker or Redbook. If you want something that not only stretches the envelope of modern horror, but breaks it, Obelesk probably has it for you." - Teresa Witmer, Recommended Reading, True Review Dangerous Women: "...'Flare', the tale of a pro pyro... is worth the price of the book alone. Hard-edged, precise & sharply polished as the blade of a samurai's katana. Her...narrative is compressed to poetic intensity, her dialogue betraying anexceptionally keen ear for the nuances of spoken language... New comer M'Clatchey turns in a wild, anarchistic little tale with a rad-fem POV-erotic, with a one-two kick below the belt to the MCP-dominated society-she's another new voice who may bear watching." - t. Winter-Damon, Dead of Night #11.
