American Candide 
by Mahendra Singh (Rosarium, 2016, ISBN 978-0996769211)
200 pgs., 31 illustrations by the author

Voltaire's most famous creation, Candide, rebooted for the better-than-best of all possible worlds, 21st-century America! From the slums of Africa to the McMansions of suburbia, the human condition wreaks havoc upon Candide and his posse as they search for an American Dream being held against its will in an undisclosed location. College-boy sissies will call it a Juvenalian satire upon America's penchant for mindless optimism and casual racism but American Candide calls it "rage against the rage, Voltaire-dude!"

A perfect homage/reworking of Jules Verne's masterpiece, this tale of a doomed nuclear submarine and her terrified crew is a thrilling British riposte to the classic French SF tradition.

Perfect for both Vernians and general SF/adventure readers who like their SF straight-up, sans branch water.Amazon UK 
There is also an American edition of this book now available from St Martins (ISBN 978-1250057792), in paperback … available from Amazon and the usual North American suspects.

Luminous Chaos (Melville House, 2013, ISBN9781612191416) … the latest installment in Jean-Christophe Valtat's steampunk New Venice series. Time travel, psychedelia, gnostic intrigues, Arctic cabals, Parisian gutter-snipes, bomb-throwing anarchists and the obligatory absinthe-soaked nod at Jules Verne, this is a extraordinarily detailed, hyperbaroque continuation of Aurorarama. Lavishly illustrated by this artist as his own homage to the great Vernian illustrators such as Benett and Riou. Do not read while operating heavy machinery or making important financial decisions.

Encyclopaedia of Hell: An Invasion Manual for Demons Concerning the Planet earth and th Human Race Which Infests It … Translated from the Demonic by Martin Olson. Feral Press. ISBN 978-1936239047. With illustrations by this artist and Tony Millionaire et al. Since the customs and mores of humanity are alien and inconceivable to demons, Satan wrote this strangely poetic military handbook for the enlightenment and edification of his demon armies. The Encyclopaedia includes "Techniques of Stalking and Eating Humans," "Methods of Canning Human Pus," and "Dicing and Slicing Orphaned Children." Not suitable for small children or even the mildly religious, thank god.

Poets Ranked by Beard Weight: The Commemorative Edition
by Upton Uxbridge Underwood, edited by Gilbert Alter-Gilbert and illustrated by this artist. A tongue-in-cheek classic of Edwardian esoterica, a privately printed treatise offered by subscription to the informed man of fashion and as a divertissement au courant for the reading bins and cocktail tables of parlor cars, and smoking lounges of gentlemen’s clubs. Typifying a once-popular but nowadays seldom-encountered species of turn-of-the-century ephemera, it has become a rarity much prized by bibliophiles. See how the beards of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau stack up against those of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Published by Skyhorse, ISBN 978-1616082451.

Cocktails 
A Poetry Anthology by D.A. Powell
An anthology of verse by D.A. Powell, translated into German by Christian Lux, with English en face (2009). Illustrations by this artist. Powell won the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award and Cocktails is a good example of his compressed, muscular style. Until a publisher lets me have a stab at illustrating Chapman or Marlowe, Powell will do for me.  Published by Lux Books, ISBN 978-3939557364.
