Midnight House has always endeavored to bring their readers two types of books, the first are reprints of exceptional works of fiction that due to scarcity or expense are unavailable to most modern readers, the second is the volume that offers fiction never previously collected in book form. It is in this second category that Bob Leman's Feesters in the Lake is to be found.
As with many great writers, Leman was perhaps ahead of his time, while his stories were frequently cited by readers and critic as being among the year's best, no publisher seemed willing to commit to publishing the collection, until now.
Midnight House is proud to be able offer Bob Leman's complete weird fiction in this volume. In a career that spanned two decades, Mr. Leman wrote only fifteen pieces of fiction, each story an exquisite example of imaginative fiction at its best. This book is destined to be considered a cornerstone volume for any serious collection of modern horror/SF. If you've already made the acquaintance with Mr. Leman's fiction in the pages of F & SF, you need no further urging. If you're not familiar with the author's work, rest assured, you're in for an unforgettable experience.
