As promised, a post about Christmas 2024 …
Telos is entirely run by about 4 people – we’re not like Amazon and don’t have hundreds of little elves running around and packing books and then delivering them to your door in minutes … we need to work around people’s real lives … and so in 2024, sadly Telos will be CLOSED FOR DESPATCH for the whole of DECEMBER …
What this means is that if you’re planning or wanting to order our books direct from us (which is always welcomed and fabulous as we get to keep far more of the money – and the authors get far more of the money – than if you order from elsewhere) then you need to do so BEFORE THE END OF NOVEMBER … FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER is the last day we will receive orders which will be despatched on the 30th …
To remind you what Telos publishes … well we have a strong range of DOCTOR WHO factual titles. Including the bestselling THE DOCTOR WHO PRODUCTION DIARY: THE HARTNELL YEARS (a day by day breakdown of DOCTOR WHO’s production in the first half of the sixties); there’s THE WHO ADVENTURES (a detailed large format hardback looking at the art and history of Virgin’s ranges of DOCTOR WHO publishing); THIS IS A FAKE! (an amazing art book of DOCTOR WHO items which never were, hilarious and imaginative and a perfect Christmas title – and we have signed-by-the-author copies while stocks last); there’s also books like THE TELEVISION COMPANION, THE HANDBOOK, TALKBACK (Interviews), WHOSTROLOGY (a neat almanac type book) … and many, many more …
Then there’s our HORROR FILM ranges. Guides to a variety of films and subjects including CURSED HORROR STARS (Lon Chaney Jnr, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre, Bela Lugosi and Robert Quarry biogs), VINCENT PRICE: THE BRITISH CONNECTION looking at Price’s UK based films, A VAULT OF HORROR and RETURN TO THE VAULT OF HORROR looking at British Horror films, TIME IS LUCK looking at the work of Michael Mann, FLYING FISTS looking at Western Martial Arts films, TABOO BREAKERS looking at films which broke taboos, IT LIVES AGAIN! a gorgeously illustrated and award winning overview of Horror Films at the start of the 21st Century, RUBBER SHARKS AND WOODEN ACTING looking at films which are just BAD, and FAR FROM HOLMES which focusses on some of the lesser known Sherlock Holmes adaptations …
Moving to our ART BOOK ranges, and we have several large format, hardback, full colour art books available looking at the work of many artists: There’s books on REGINALD HEADE (king of the cheesecake girl pulp covers, and so much more), PHIL BEVAN (acclaimed DOCTOR WHO fan artist), JAMES E MCCONNELL (amazing pieces with so much detail), PAN BOOKS COVER ART, LOUIS SHABNER (perfect female portraits), HANK JANSON BOOK COVERS (all the covers, worldwide), PETER DRIBEN (saucy seaside art) …
And there’s even more: like books on THE AVENGERS (TV series), ROCKY HORROR, FIREBIRD COMPUTER GAMES, COWBOY BEBOP, THE ILLUSTRATED JOURNEY (60 years of DOCTOR WHO), STRANGER THINGS, ANDERSON’S SUPERSONIC CENTURIES, SPACE 1999, THE TARGET BOOK, THUNDERCATS, STARGATE, TORCHWOOD, A SONG FOR EUROPE … and many, many more
In fiction we have amazing horror fiction in the TERROR TALES series, with other superb short story collections from SAM STONE, SAMANTHA LEE HOWE, RAVEN DANE and others … There’s brilliant horror and fantasy fiction from RHYS HUGHES, MAXIM JAKUBOWSKI, RAVEN DANE, SAM STONE, HANK JANSON, Classic Romantic novels from JULIETTE BENZONI and HELEN McCABE … even some erotica from ATHENA MICHAELS and KATE DENNIS … Lots and lots of great fiction to titillate the old grey matter.
