Description
by S. T. Joshi (Editor)
Hippocampus Press celebrates the first half-decade of its acclaimed annual magazine of weird fiction, criticism, and poetry with a blockbuster issue containing a dozen stories, a sheaf of cutting-edge critical essays, and ten poems long and short.
Among the fiction contributions are a gorgeous fantasy by Wade German in the manner of Clark Ashton Smith; Carla Ward's pungent tale of supernatural revenge; weird tales by such veterans as John Shirley and Darrell Schweitzer; and evocative pieces by Katherine Kerestman and Debra K. Every. Among the articles, James Goho studies the provocative work of Joel Lane; Jason V Brock ponders the significance of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone; John C. Tibbetts presents an interview and analysis of the weird work of Brian Aldiss; and Geoffrey Reiter probes the religious significance of Bram Stoker's last novel.
Verse by such distinguished poets as Frank Coffman, Maxwell I. Gold, Ngo Binh Anh Khoa, Ann K. Schwader, and others fill out a rich and varied issue.
