- "When
first encountered, the publications of Tartarus Press
seem almost as numinous as the supernatural tales they
contain. The simple elegance of their presentation. . .
jacketed in uniform cream covers with only minimal
decoration, recall an earlier age when books were as rare
and treasured as jewels.
- "These
are not commodities to be piled high on three-for-two
tables, but rarities which remain hidden unless sought
out . . . The stories hoarded in their pages are so
little known you might be forgiven for wondering if you
have dreamed them. The Triumph of Night and Other
Tales by Edith Wharton. The Supernatural
Tales of H.G. Wells. The Lost
Poetry of William Hope Hodgson. And dozens of
other titles by authors both famous and obscure which
taken as a whole form a secret library, a catalogue of
weird fiction from its roots in Victorian Britain through
to the modern day." -- Damien G. Walter,
The
Guardian, 29/09/09
