About This Item
North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press, 2019. First printing, Trade paperback, New,. North Yorkshire: Tartarus Press:, 2019. First printing, Trade paperback, New, 306 pp.<br/> "Following in the footsteps of M.P. Shiel's exotic savant Prince Zaleski and Arthur Machen's Mr. Dyson, Mark Valentine and John Howard's The Connoisseur - aesthetically detective extraordinaire - unravels a cornucopia of arcane mysteries in these twenty-three tantalizing tales. Collecting together all the adventures in previous Tartarus volumes In Violet Veils and Masques and Citadels, along with four further tales published elsewhere, this volume provides the lover of esoteric mystery and adventure fiction with the complete Connoisseur casebook. Venturing from his fire-lit study in an English cathedral city, The Connoisseur encounters, among other phenomena, strange masquerades in country houses; a Scottish island whose Prince may not be named; a poignant relic from the Black Sea region, sought after by a ruthless order; a secret account of the first crossing of an Arctic land and an Art Deco cinema which may retain resonances of its mysterious former occupants. From your own fireside, follow The Connoisseur into the delicate shading between this world and other realms of wonder, tragedy and trepidation."
