Eibonvale Press came into being in the winter of 2005 in a tiny
Slovenian mountain town at the hands of David Rix, who sat down one
day and decided "Today I am going to make a book." The fact that he
knew a lot about books but nothing at all about the book world
somehow failed to make that dream flicker away like most dreams and
the slow crescendo of Eibonvale Press continued from there and is
still continuing. That quiet and lonely winter in the Slovenian
mountains still doesn't seem so far away as the press continues its
search for the bizarre, the unclassifiable and the strange in new
writing, in the process working with some of the best writers in
the UK and elsewhere. Now, this new book provides a chance to look
back a bit and define Eibonvale Press as an entity. Blind Swimmer
collects together 11 stories, most never before published, by all
the writers who have made up or will soon make up the Eibonvale
Press family. The result is a book that is as varied as the press
itself. Creativity in Isolation was the theme we set, and the
results are as varied as the writers themselves. Different takes on
what creativity is, what isolation is and whom we are talking to as
we tell our tales in the wilderness. The stories stretch from
classically tinged horror to urban strangeness to experimental
fiction and surrealism. From short stories to full length novellas.
From the wilderness of Britain and Sweden to the equal wilderness
of the American urban landscape. Blind Swimmer is a unique and
spectacular journey through the flip-side of contemporary writing.
The book has a forward by Joel Lane and an introductory essay by
David Rix.
