hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1988. Harper & Row. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060390867. 264 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Becky Heavner. Jacket design by Julie Metz. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In the fragrant, steamy kitchen of the Hercules Cafe in a seedy London district Gilbert Firestone, loving and faithful family-man to his common-law wife, Olive, and foundling son, Frank, cooks up simple stews and elaborate dreams. He yearns to travel the world and capture the adventure-paradise he and his soul mate, Sam Pilchard, sought during their salad days, wandering the world, saucepans in hand. When Olive dies, drowned in a pan of meat soup, he seizes the chance to make his dream come true. With Frank and the cafe's sexy punk waitress, Veronica, in tow, Gilbert heads for remote Bilharzia in West Africa to join Sam at his jungle hotel. What he finds there is a world far more dangerous and corrupt than the one he imagines he left behind - a dizzying quagmire of madness and decay. Sensuous, outrageously funny and wildly inventive, HOTEL PLENTI is an entertainment of the highest order - one that elicits whoops and belly laughs while delivering a deceptively poignant and penetrating fable of the universal quest for more. The New Yorker called Gibson's DANCING WITH MERMAIDS 'a wild, poetic exhalation that sparkles and hoots and flies.' inventory #10404.…

Jacket illustration by Ian Pollock. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - 'My name is William Mackerel Burton. I have killed eighteen men and women. It has been my life's work. ' In his journal, his book of the dead, an ordinary young man with an extraordinary secret life sets down the record of his murderous career. Growing up in a private hotel in a small seaside town, Mackerel Burton has no idea he is destined to become a monster. A lonely child, he amuses himself at home by perfecting his conjuring. But then he discovers the greatest disappearing trick of all - murder - and life takes on a new magic. Mackerel packs up and sets off for London and the killing ground. From the first acts of butchery in a Kilburn basement he moves out into the streets to murder swiftly, efficiently and at random - housewives, businessmen, spinsters, prostitutes - until he is addicted and the blood he sheds so expertly and ruthlessly has become a drug. He is beyond help and beyond capture. He is the Sandman. Miles Gibson, a gifted and original young writer, takes the reader into the mind of a man obsessed with the terror and beauty of death. We inhabit his dark world, dream his nightmares and share his fears. Writing with elegance and remarkable imaginative insight, he has created a vivid and extraordinarily powerful first novel. MILES GIBSON was born in the New Forest in 1947. He was educated at Sandhills Primary School (where he learned to cut things out with plastic scissors) and Somerford Secondary Modern (where he lost a curious number of sneakers). Two collections of his poetry have been published and he writes, sometimes, for the Telegraph Sunday Magazine. He lives alone in London. inventory #10751 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. …

paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 1986. Dutton. Advance Uncorrected Proofs. Very Good in Wrappers. 0525244441. 196 pages. paperback. Jacket painting by Hilary Gibson. Jacket design by Robin Rout. keywords: Europe England Literature World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In the little, normal-seeming town of Rams Horn, once famous for its healing mud and its fine fossil bed, wreathed in legends and close to the poisonous swamps that mark the mouth of the River Sheep, things are decidedly abnormal: a seer who has waited years for her drowned husband to appear is suddenly besieged by her own demons; an African sailor arrives from the sea to ravage and plunder the widow and her daughter who have (unwittingly?)sheltered him; a group of small boys plot kidnapping and sexual violation; a doctor, unhinged by his desire for the voluptuous seer, turns to a medicine older than his own for a cure. There is lust, madness, a disappearance - we might be on the edge of tragedy or chaos. But because of the uncanny skill and vision of the author, we have instead a fabulous brew of mystery, sex and fairy-tale enchantment that leaves the reader smiling, uplifted, overjoyed: indeed, dancing with mermaids. Miles Gibson has worked a miracle of style and craft. DANCING WITH MERMAIDS is a book of dreams - dreams great writers sometimes get on midsummer nights. inventory #3665.…
