Wold Newton novel Evil in Pemberley House SOLD OUT!

The Wold Newton novel The Evil in in Pemberley House, by Philip Jose Farmer and, well, me, is sold out at the publisher.

Perhaps a few copies of the Trade and Limited editions at Camelot Books.

And that's pretty much it, except for copies, as they pop up, on eBay and ABE Books.

The daughter of Doc Wildman... The Sherlockian mythos... A kick-ass cover by the incomparable Glen Orbik...

"Call now, supplies are limited!" and so forth. :-)

Warehouse find! Rare Pemberley House chapbook!


Due to a warehouse find at Subterranean Press, I'm pleased to make available several copies of the ultra-rare, out of print chapbook which accompanied the Limited Edition of the novel The Evil in Pemberley House.

The cover by Killer Keith Howell features the Doc Wildman Coat of Arms, based on Philip José Farmer's written description in Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, and supplemented with information from Farmer's private notes.

Chapbook contents:



  • An Expanded Pemberley House/Wold Newton Family graphic tree, which including SPOILERS from the novel
  • Notes on the Wildman Coat of Arms by Philip José Farmer
  • Outline for the novel by Philip José Farmer
  • A timeline of key events in the novel by Win Scott Eckert
  • A "Creative Mythography" essay by Win Scott Eckert, about the research and writing of the novel and ensuring it remained in continuity with Farmer's other Wold Newtonian works, such as Tarzan Alive, the aforementioned Doc Savage, and The Adventure of the Peerless Peer

  • Info on how to order is on my Signed Books page (along with many other goodies). If you missed the chapbook the first time around, you probably want to act now, 'cause once they're gone, they're gone.

    THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE Limited Edition still available?

    Reposted from WinScottEckert.com, for anyone here who doesn't follow there:

    I while back
    I noted that the limited edition of The Evil in Pemberley House had sold out. This is true, insofar as ordering direct from Subterranean Press is concerned.

    However, I became aware today that
    Camelot Books appears to have some limited editions left in stock.

    The limited edition features:
    • chapbook cover art of the Doc Wildman Coat of Arms by Keith Howell
    • novel endsheets feature a Pemberley House/Wold Newton Family tree
    • chapbook features an expanded Pemberley House/Wold Newton Family tree, which including SPOILERS from the novel
    • notes on the Wildman Coat of Arms by Philip José Farmer
    • outline for the novel by Philip José Farmer
    • timeline of key events in the novel by Win Scott Eckert
    • Wold Newtonian essay by Win Scott Eckert
    If you're a reader of my Crossovers books (thank you!) and you haven't picked up Pemberley House, you're at least aware by now of the multitude of crossovers and references featured in the novel; so if crossovers are your thing, you're covered. ;-)

    If adventure with a bit of sex tossed in are your thing... well, Phil Farmer and I have got you covered there as well (don't let Glen Orbik's gorgeous "girl running away from house" cover fool you on that count; Patricia Wildman, the daughter of a well-known bronze-hued pulp hero, undergoes more than her share of Gothic travails, but she also knows how to kick ass, and she does).

    If I haven't convinced you yet, check out the reviews, and give the book a shot, if you haven't already done so.

    Green Man Review on THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE

    Robert M. Tilendis over at the Green Man Review has some very nice things to say about The Evil in Pemberley House.

    "This one is fun--a good, tight story, enough psychology to keep it interesting, villains galore, characters with eccentricities that only the English can manage gracefully, a rich context, and lots of sex."


    Check out the complete review
    here!

    Washington Times review of PEMBERLEY HOUSE...

    "When super heroes are conflicted"...

    Ron Capshaw at the Washington Times has reviewed The Evil in Pemberley House. Choice quotes include: "It is safe to say that Patricia Clarke Wildman has sufficient baggage before she ever sets foot in the Pemberley House of Jane Austen fame" and "'Pemberley' is clearly a love letter rescued from the grave by co-writer Win Scott Eckert to Farmer's aged fans. It is replete with interrelated heroes and perverted sex scenes.
    "

    Check out the complete review here, won't you?

    THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - author copies have arrived...

    ... and wow!

    Upon removing the dust jacket, I see that the regular trade HC is bound in blue cloth, while the limited HC is bound in purple cloth. Very nice.
    For those readers who purchase the regular trade HC, that version has no Wold Newton Family tree chart on the end sheets. I've made the chart available at The Evil in Pemberley House website. Just scroll down the right navigation bar to THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE - FAMILY TREE. Note that this version of the chart is Spoiler-Free; it does not give away any of the novel's mysteries.

    The Limited Edition HC has this very same Spoiler-Free family tree chart in the book's end sheets. The Chapbook that comes with the Limited Edition has the Spoilers version of the family tree on the inside front and back covers. I will not be making that version of the family tree chart available electronically, at least not for some time--you'll need to buy the Limited Edition for that. :-) From what I can tell, copies of the Limited Edition are going very quickly.

    All in all, I'm incredibly pleased, and feel very lucky. It's a beautiful package all around.
