WE'RE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH of our Decomposition Series, which focuses on particular abandoned sites of special historic and artistic interest. On November 30 we're releasing the first three books, all of which deal with evocative sites in New York State:

"The End of New York" by Jean Kahler and Jessica Rowe, a reflection on the changing landscape of Staten Island,

"Elevator Alley" by Michael Cook and Andrew Emond, an overview of the past and future of Buffalo's mostly derelict grain elevators,

"Grossinger's: City of Refuge and Illusion" by Jonathan Haeber, an exploration of the relics of a once legendary Catskills hotel.

These paperbacks, 60 pages each with color photos, can be picked up for $20/book at the event, along with other Furnace Press publications.
