Hal Duncan's debut Vellum was published in 2005, garnering nominations for the World Fantasy Award along with the Crawford, Locus, and BFS awards, and winning the Spectrum, Kurd Lasswitz and Tähtivaeltaja. As the Book of All Hours
diptych together with the sequel, Ink, it was described by Lucius Shepard himself as "the Guernica of genre fiction."
Other publications include: the novel Testament; novellas Escape from Hell!
and Susurrus on Mars; the chapbooks An A-Z of the Fantastic City
and Errata; poetry collections Songs for the Devil and Death and Sodom / New Sodom;
short story collections Scruffians! and The Boy Who Loved Death; and Rhapsody, a book-length essay on strange fiction.
Most recently, The Land of Somewhere Safe came out from NewCon Press, a stand-alone novella and fourth sortie into the Scruffians mythos of A Scruffian Primer, A Scruffian Feastiary and A Scruffian Survival Guide. A fifth chapbook, A Scruffian Funferal, will be available from 21st October 2018.
