Anne Gare's Rare Book and Ephemera Catalogue is a list of ten books in the Rare Book Room of Anne Gare's infamous bookstore in the devil-scarred city of Leeds, Massachusetts.
The book titles are:
The Libellus Vox Larvae
The Stockton Pamphlets
The Barkerton Parade and Others by Ebenezer Chancre
ME by Grancois Trumbull, Sr.
The Dither Family Cookbook
Bastions of Disquiet by Rangel Bantam
Me and Your Shadow by Stephen King
The Holy Bible
Scrapbook
...
There were initially 50 copies numbered and signed. It is unclear whether further copies have been made.
These pieces deepen and enhance the world of Leeds, Massachusetts and provide a little more information about its doomed residents and the shadow under which they live. It can be considered a companion piece to Gateways to Abomination, but also stands fairly well on its own as an odd little collection of vignettes.
Caveats: this is a chapbook made at a copy shop. It's not fancy, not coptic bound nor stab-stitched - it's stapled. Also, the short pieces therein will likely appear in a somewhat different form in a future collection in the follow-up to "Gateways."
