Lost Horse Press is proud to announce the re-publication of an impressive and haunting collection of short fiction by author Valerie Martin. Since the original publication of LOVE by Lynx House Press in 1977, Ms. Martin has written and published several novels, one of whichMary Reilly (Doubleday, 1990)has been made into a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts. Valerie Martins latest novel, Italian Fever, is being released by Knopf Publishers (New York) in July 1999.

Little mad obsessions encased in precise prose make stories so startling you cant let go. Martin drags the psyche out of the dark cellars and closets into daylight. What happens is unsettling and weirdly beautiful in masochistic ways, like a gingerbread house with built-in gas ovens. Emotionally painful, iconoclastic, brilliant.--Booklist
