Re: Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent
An impressive lineup of contents for the new issue; I look forward to Reggie Oliver's new column. The one glaring omission is Brian Stableford's The Decadent World-View, which series I find to be an essential part of Wormwood.

Re: Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent
Wormwood 18 is due to be published shortly. It will include an overview of the strange fiction of Frances Oliver, by Paul Newman; the second part of Joel Lane's study of H.P. Lovecraft, which also looks at Lovecraft's most significant followers; an essay on The Pagan Review, the journal edited and written by William Sharp (otherwise known as the Celtic romancer Fiona Macleod); Philip Challinor's essay on a Robert Aickman story, "Letters to the Postman"; Mike Barrett's look at the uncanny stories of F. Marion Crawford; and a note on Randolph Stow's The Girl Green as Elderflower. In our regular columns, Doug Anderson reveals some of the very rarest and weirdest work in "Late Reviews", and Reggie Oliver considers an Aleister Crowley biography, a study of The Exorcist, and more.

Re: Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent
I have just posted on the Wormwoodiana blog a short note about Percival Landon (of "Thurnley Abbey" fame), and a possibly unsuspected, unusual work of fiction.

Re: Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent
A Cage for the Nightingale by Phyllis Paul is just out from The Sundial Press - I received my copy today, and I have posted a note about it on the Wormwoodiana blog. Her books are hard to find, and anyone curious to know why she has such a determined following can now find out. Elizabeth Bowen, a writer with whom she has some affinities, caught her adroitly when she evoked her "vehement inner poetry", while her rediscoverer, Glen Cavaliero, describes her work as "Vivid, eerie, complex, compassionate and disturbing...". In her world, every thing is complicit in small deeds of evil, and many in greater, and all exist under a spiritual penumbra.

[Reposting this as it has disappeared from view for some of us]
A Cage for the Nightingale by Phyllis Paul has just been reissued by The Sundial Press - I've received my copy, and have posted about it on the Wormwoodiana blog. It is introduced by Glen Cavaliero, her rediscoverer, who describes her work as "vivid, eerie, complex, compassionate and disturbing", while Elizabeth Bowen (with whose writing she has some affinity) noted her "vehement inner poetry". In her remorseless vision, everyone is tainted by complicity with lesser or greater evils, and her characters all seem to exist under a spiritual penumbra. | |||||||||||

Re: Wormwood: Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent
I can't decide whether I prefer the phantom post or the corporal post. I see them both glowing in the dark.
