HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Firstly John and Steve would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year.
Well, 2008 was a mixed year for Rainfall Records & Books. Early in the year John had to curtail his publishing activities to care for Lynne, his wife, who had terminal cancer. Steve kept things ticking over but production of books was put on hold and only the chapbooks edited by Steve were published and available for sale. Sadly Lynne passed away at the end of last year. She will be missed by all who knew her. I know that all Rainfall customers who know John will be saddened by this news and will be sorry for his loss.
John is coping as best he can and has made the tentative decision to return to Rainfall activities. Steve and John have agreed to keep Rainfall running, but John will have less involvement in the distribution and production of (chap)books, handing most of these chores over to Steve. The pair have also decided to cut down on the amount of books published each year and will be very selective in what books are published. Their favourite material is good, old-fashioned weird tales in the style of the old pulp masters and this is what they will publish.
Following the highly succesful Cthulhu’s Creatures, a one-off publishing venture in conjunction with Jeff Hill, will be Innsmouth Tales, which will appear in the autumn  published by Rainfall.
We'll also be continuing our successful line of chapbooks and we have a literary feast lined up for you in 2009 including further issues of Lovecraft's Disciples, E'ch Pi El, Strange Sorcery, Thrilling Tales and Weird Worlds as well such titles as: Dia Tesssaron, Frightful Creations of E'ch Pi El, Mind Lords of Lemuria, Flowers of Nithon, Spores From Sharnoth, Tales of Sex & Sorcery, Gods & Goddesses, Diamonds & Demonsand many more
Look out for a series of Zandor chapbooks - anthologies of sword & sorcery/weird fantasy tales set on the planet of Zandor. Inspired by the writings of Smith, Burroughs, Howard, Carter, and Lovecraft these chapbooks will contain stories by some of today’s finest exponents of weird fantasy.
We'll also be publishing stories by the cream of today’s writers, including, Ran Cartwright, Simon Whitechapel, Haydon Atwood Prescott, Robert M. Price, Richard Gavin, Michael Fantina, Ron Shiflet, Leigh Blackmore, Franklyn Searight and others.
Planned CDs include the debut album by The Doctor’s Pond and the second release by Childe Roland titled Underground.
So plenty to keep you amused and entertained. You can order everything through the website or check out ebay for some bargains.

Be Seeing You . . .
