Ash-Tree, Kirk, NRO

Ash-Tree Press just got a nice plug for theirs and John's second Kirk
volume this morning in The Corner on National Review Online. John J.
Miller, who reviewed the first volume for National Review in January,
had this to say about the second:

KIRK'S GHOSTS [John J. Miller]
Russell Kirk may not be beach reading, but his fiction is still perfect
for summer--once the sun has set and you're looking for a scary tale of
the supernatural. I wrote about Kirk's ghost stories earlier this year
for NRO, on the occasion of Canada's Ash-Tree Press issuing the first of
two volumes collecting all of Kirk's short fiction. Many NRO readers
purchased copies. Well, the second book is now out. It's called What
Shadow We Pursue and, from what I can gather, it's not available from
any source except Ash-Tree. The print run is limited, so if you're
interested be sure to order quickly. And, in case you need a slight
nudge, here's what John Pelan says in his introduction to the new book:
"Kirk can perhaps lay claim to being the greatest American author of
ghost stories in the last century."
