Wormwood 31 (Autumn 2018) has just been published.
Reggie Oliver on Robert Aickman:
“Aickman might be said to be exploring not so much Hannah Arendt’s “banality of evil” as the evil of banality.”
Doug Anderson on Phyllis Paul:
“What does keep the reader going is the eccentric cast of minor characters . . .”
John Howard on Mack Reynolds:
“In Reynolds’ utopias an element of subversion—revolution—is also necessary . . .”
Colin Insole on Hope Mirrlees:
“The ghosts parade and strut on the streets and bridges”
Ibrahim Ineke on book-collecting in Den Haag:
“My passion has a slight resemblance to the rawer and aesthetically less satisfying habit of gambling”
Paul M Chapman on the Decadent Conan Doyle:
“His work often echoed Poe's ‘love for the grotesque and the terrible’”
Tony Mileman on the golden age of Czech fantasy:
“What if reading were a dangerous activity? What if you could, literally, disappear into a text?”
Mat Joiner on Jocelyn Brooke:
“And who are the other lot? ‘I only wish I knew’”
An excellent magazine. I have all 31 issues. Thank you Mark Valentine and Tartarus Press!
