Corpse Roads

[helrunar]

This a.m. I read John Linwood Grant's review (with several sample pages available for scrutiny) of CORPSE ROADS, the latest project produced from the Folk Horror Revival lab captained by Andy Paciorek.  CORPSE ROADS is an unusual format--alternating selections of photos and poems (both vintage and new) treating facets of death lore traditions.  Authors include Lovecraft, Charlotte Bronte, John Clare and many current writers.  John's examination is here:

And the official page for the new book is here:

folkhorrorrevival.com/2016/07/03/folk-horror-revival-corpse-roads/

I was so taken with the sample pages John provided that I just ordered a copy.  Lulu has sales almost nonstop now so you can get a discount if interested.

I bought the earlier book, FOLK HORROR REVIVAL: FIELD STUDIES last December and found it a fascinating treasure-trove of odds and ends.  Even with my longstanding thirst for esoterica, there was much that was new to me in that earlier volume.

As folk who know me will attest, I'm not the world's biggest poetry fan (with a few notable exceptions like Yeats and the Liverpool Poets), but I loved Folk Horror Revival: Field Studies so much (greatly looking forward to the second volume next year) that I'm teetering on the brink of ordering Corpse Roads simply because of that.  The Grey Dog Tales review (and what a good site that is) gives me more reason to go ahead.
