Wormwood - Last Chance to Order

 

Tartarus Press have announced that they will stop selling back-issues of Wormwood, the paperback journal of the fantastic, at the end of March. This is therefore the last chance for readers to acquire copies from the press. 

 

Wormwood included regular columns from Douglas A Anderson, John Howard and Reggie Oliver, as well as contributions by authors such as Nina Antonia, Peter Bell, Avalon Brantley, Colin Insole, Joel Lane,  Brian Stableford, Lisa Tuttle and Henry Wessells. 

 

Among the rare items included in the journal were the first publication of a Mervyn Peake picture (no 4), a Sarban fragment (no 7), and a Leonard Cline card game (no 12). There was a brief but exclusive interview with Muriel Spark (no 1),  Glen Cavaliero discussed Phyllis Paul (no 9), and there were illuminating interviews with David Tibet (no 36) and Rosemary Pardoe (no 38).

There are a wealth of other essays, reviews and features covering a wide range of fantastic and supernatural literature, including some of the first surveys of certain overlooked writers or books, as well as fresh perspectives on classic authors. Many contributions will not be easily available elsewhere. 

If you are interested in multiple copies, Tartarus can offer a discount to reflect postage savings. Please contact ray[at]tartaruspress[dot]com
