Contents: Jaunting on the Scoraic Tempests . . . by Brian Stableford/ Xélucha/ Maria in the Rose-bush/ Vaila/ Premier and Maker/ Tulsah/ The Serpent-Ship/ Phorfor Description: Shapes in the Fire is M.P. Shiel at his decadent best. Reviews: "If Shiel's writing was decadent and perverse in 1896, to read it in the twenty-first century is even more so. Readers who may feel inclined to take that as a challenge shouldn't hesitate. Go on - I dare you!" - Douglas Campbell, All Hallows. "Thankfully, Tartarus has seen the light and put Shiel's original, unblandified collection back on the shelves. At last we can read 'Waila,' the high-octane version of 'The House of Sounds.' " - Michael Cisco - New York Review of Science Fiction.
