Spectral Realms No. 19

This nineteenth issue of Spectral Realms contains the customary array of diverse and riveting poetry by today's leading weird poets, including Ann K. Schwader, Wade German, Scott J. Couturier, Ian Futter, and Ngo Binh Anh Khoa. David Barker contributes two more poems to his ongoing series of reimaginings of Lovecraft's Fungi from Yuggoth. Oliver Smith looks at Frankenstein in an innovative way. Frank Coffman tells a miniature weird tale in a four-sonnet cycle, "A Cabin in the Wood." Carl E. Reed, Andrew White, and Christian Dickinson draw upon ancient folklore for their brooding poems. Maxwell I. Gold contributes three of his cosmic prose poems, while Jay Sturner and Liam Garriock add their own distinctive prose poems. Two classic reprints (by Erasmus Darwin and Thomas Hardy), along with S. T. Joshi's review of a new edition of the obscure American Decadent poet Lee Roy J. Tappan, conclude the issue.
