Back in 2019, I told my UEA tutor that Malachi Whitaker's And So Did I was one of the books I most wanted to reissue if I ever had a chance. And six years later, with the help of Valerie Waterhouse, Catherine Taylor, and
@bhousepress.bsky.social
, we have. (One reason to be cheerful today.)

I think Malachi Whitaker's (

) And So Did I has finally found its time and its readers. In 1939, and even when Carcanet reissued it in the 1980s, its "not any one thing-ness" was really held against it. Available to pre-order now from

Without a marketing budget or bands of loyal podcasters, the Recovered Books series from
@bhousepress.bsky.social
relies on word of mouth recommendations. So it's neat to see little chain reactions reflected in our sales numbers. Lately, this very odd 1960s teen horror story seems to be taking off.
