Leigh Blackmore poem in Studies in Weird Fiction 1

Leigh Blackmore's poem "The Golden Goblet" appears in the new journal from Centipede Press, edited by S.T. Joshi, Weird Fiction Review. This journal, to appear annually, will contain (as does issue 1), new horror fiction, criticism, poetry, and perhaps a letters column. Joshi formerly edited Studies in Weird Fiction and Studies in the Fantastic, both now defunct; WFR promises to be a new venue for appreciation of the weird, and for criticism which is not so high-falutin' as to be impenetrable.

With Centipede Press' usual high production standards, gorgeous artwork and 225 pages of prime material by such writers as Cody Goodfellow, Marc Laidlaw, Micahel Aronovitz, Joseph S. Pulver, John Haefele, Donal R. Burleson. S.T. Joshi, Fred Philkips, Ann K. Schwader, Richard L. Tieney, Charles Lovecraft and others, Weird Fiction Review No 1 is sure to become a collectors' item.

Usually $25.00 US, there is an opening special of $20 at centipede's website:

Graeme Phillips Cyaegha No 3 is special Vol Molesworth Lovecraftian issue

Vol(taire Molesworth) was one of Australia's pulp writers, producing sf numerous novels in the 1940's. He also wrote Lovecraftian stories. While one of them, "Blinded They Fly" was recently reprinted in Marty Young's and Angela Challis' MACABRE anthology (Brimstone Press, 2010), most of his Lovecraftian tales have never been gathered - until now. With the assistance of Leigh Blackmore and James Doig, Graeme Phillips has produced a highly attractive Vol Molesworth Special Issue of his zine Cyaegha.

The issue includes Molesworth's tales "Let There Be Monsters!", "Arkaroo", and "Blinded They Fly", reprinted from the obscure sf periodicals where they first appeared. Additionally, Molesworth's article on Lovecraft, "A Modern Master of the Macabre", written for a 1949 issue of Arna, the literary journal of Sydney University, is included; and James Doig's overview on Molesworth, "Vol Molesworth's Lovecraftian Tales" (previously printed in Australian Studies in Weird Fiction) rounds out the issue. There is a cover portrait of Molesworth by Tom Hubble and a phoo of him inside the front cover, while the inside back and back covers reproduce the covers of various of Molesworth's books.

A figure little-known outside of Australian wartime sf, Molesworth deserves his place in history for these ventures into Lovecraftian horror. The 64-page staple-bound booklet will certainly appeal to Lovecraftian collectors.
