description: This is his first short story collection for five years and offers twelve previously uncollected stories and an unpublished journal of story ideas and reading notes. His fiction ranges from the Triple Headed King of Sancreed, Cornwall to the unknown god of Palmyra, from a Venusian commodore to the lost composer of Stonehenge, and takes us on a search for the cockatrice and a quest for books not found in any library.All of the stories suggest that other dimensions may be encountered in the most unexpected ways, whether through the hymn-singing of an old tramp, or as part of a Shakespeare play. And in the previously unpublished ‘Notes on the Border’, Valentine explores bookshops, old churches, folklore and the uncanny, with insights into stories as yet unwritten..To the Eternal OneThe Key to JerusalemListening to StonehengeGoat SongsZabuloIn Cypress ShadesThe Mask of the Dead MammiliusYes, I Knew the Venusian CommodoreThe Scarlet DoorVain Shadows FleeThe Uncertainty of All Earthly Thingsas blank as the days yet to beNotes on the Border (previously unpublished)“The Uncertainty of All Earthly Things” will come in an hardcover edition of 199 numbered and 26 lettered deluxe exemplars.It has 228 pages and comes with a silk book mark.
