ST#23 for the electronic set

-

For people who find it more convenient to pack a million, frillion books into one electronic device that will definitely never be dropped down a toilet or anything, the latest issue can be downloaded as a pdf for the princely sum of £1.79. I'm told that's inexpensive. The point is that you get the same spiffing content as purchasers of the physical magazine, but it's in the form of educated electrons.

That is very reasonable, Valdemar - but why not upload it onto Amazon as well?

To give a slightly more coherent answer, I did upload an earlier issue of the magazine for Kindle, but it aroused no interest.

Well, Amazon is a very crowded market-place. I only asked because I'm basically lazy. I'll check out the lulu option.

'The Chapel of Infernal Devotion'

  This is a running review of the book Spirits of the Dead. Find out more  here . My opinion on the penultimate story in this collection has not changed since I first came across it 2015 in a collection of works inspired by Arthur Machen. So... Ron Weighell's 'The Chapel of Infernal Devotion' is not just an erudite horror story but an extended essay on Machen's cultural significance. It follows a book collector who fails to secure a particular illustration at an auction. His researches reveal a link between the mysterious artist, who used the name Adam Midnight, and Machen. Midnight, whose real name was Philip Youlden, seems to have had a more than purely aesthetic interest in the occult. Our hero is inspired to try and find out more. Thus begins an odyssey that takes the protagonist from the relatively comfortable world of book dealers to the strange house of Plas Gwyllion, where an elderly musician guards Youlden's bizarre and dangerous legacy. Along the way we e...

He held solo exhibitions and performances in the United Kingdom, Spain, Japan, Iceland, Israel, Holland, Norway, Germany, Greenland, USA, and Australia. His Vorrh trilogy and novels Earwig and Munky have drawn much critical acclaim. He was also Emeritus Professor of Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford.' I had never heard of B(rian) Catling when I received a review copy of this book , which comes with three intriguing postcards  'featuring photographs by Iain Sinclair and text by Alan Moore' . I was a little puzzled. So I did some Googling and YouTubing and discovered that Catling was a very significant figure in the UK arts scene.
