Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent

[Sand]

I can see them both now as well. That's a relief. For a while I thought I might be trapped in a world where I had to keep reposting, and slightly mis-remembering each time, so that over centuries the post accumulated more shadows than words,and became not just about Phyllis Paul's dark realm, but a part of it.

I have just posted on the Wormwoodiana blog about Robert Nichols' Under The Yew, a very curious Gothick fantasia.

Just to let everyone know, Wormwood 19 is at the printers and is due for publication on 12th November. It's an eclectic mix of articles on decadent, fantastic and supernatural literature, as you'd expect...

My latest post on the Wormwoodiana blog is about HiLo Books' Radium SF series of apocalyptic classics, in particular a reissue of Edward Shanks' bleak 1920 doomsday novel, The People of the Ruins:

The latest post on Wormwoodiana announces a new edition of Arthur Machen's first published work, Eleusinia, with essays and rare Machen pieces about the poem. This has been produced by the Friends of Arthur Machen to celebrate his 150th anniversary. Friends also get two hardback issues of the journal Faunus, and the newsletter Machenalia.

Any chance that Wormwood be made available for kindle? I do most of my nonfiction reading these days on my tablet. I would love to order all of the back issues that I have missed.
