E H Visiak's 1929 novel Medusa is to be republished this April as part of the British Library's long-running Tales of the Weird series. This is, I think, the first English-language paperback edition of what has, heretofore, been a hard-to-get-hold-of book, despite its being, at times, highly praised (Karl Edward Wagner included it in his list of "The 13 Best Supernatural Horror Novels" in the June 1983 issue of Twilight Zone Magazine).

Visiak was a friend of David Lindsay's, and Medusa (subtitled A Story of Mystery and Ecstasy and Strange Horror), has appeared alongside Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus and The Haunted Woman in Gollancz's reissue series the Connoisseur's Library of Strange Fiction in the 1940s and Rare Works of Imaginative Fiction in the 1960s.

The British Library edition comes with an introduction by Aaron Worth.
