Valancourt Books is doing new reprints of the short story collection Polyphemus by Michael Shea and they need to be added to the site. Not all the information has been released, so I will probably revive this thread as new information comes in. All information sourced from the Valancourt Books website and Amazon.

DESCRIPTION:
Michael Shea (1946-2014) was one of the finest American authors of speculative fiction of modern times, and Polyphemus (1987), originally published as a limited edition hardcover by Arkham House, features the best of his short fiction, in which he deftly blends the genres of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. In the title story, an exploration team on a desert planet encounters a terrifying alien monstrosity. In "The Angel of Death," a serial killer hunting innocent women turns out to be a visitor from another world. In "Uncle Tuggs," a more traditional horror story infused with a dose of black humor, a series of grisly and bizarre deaths ensues that may be connected to the mysterious disappearance of old Uncle Tuggs, and in "The Horror on the #33" a wino witnesses a horrific murder committed by a strange wasp-headed monster on a city bus. The classic story "The Autopsy," which Algis Budrys called "one of the most successful meldings of science fiction with horror that I have ever encountered" and which was filmed for Guillermo Del Toro's Netflix series Cabinet of Curiosities, tells of an aging pathologist called in to perform an autopsy -- but what he discovers during his examination is chilling and unthinkable.

A landmark collection of modern speculative fiction now available again at long last in this edition, which features a new introduction by Laird Barron.

It's been a week so I'm bumping the thread.

Another week has passed, bumping again.

Bump.

Bump.

Bumping.

Another bump. I've edited the OP to include details on the Kindle edition as well.

Bumping again. Edited the OP further to accurately reflect new details.

Bumping again. The paperback and Kindle editions have been added, but the hardcover is still missing.

Bump yet again.

The kindle and paperback have been previously added, I added the hardcover

Thank you, but the hardcover description is incorrect. Could you please change it to the description I have listed in my OP? It's also missing Laird Barron with the Introduction role.
