Hi folks! Welcome to the first real new newsletter from us. We are going to start off by showcasing some of the things we published in 2023 that you may have missed!
We’ve got some exciting things coming this year too, so don’t worry about that. More poetry, art and weirdness is on the way.
J.F. Gonzalez’s Shadows in the Attic
An Unfinished History of Horror
Come and dig beneath the cobwebs, under the dust and through the forgotten boxes with horror historian J. F. Gonzalez.
Collecting non-fiction works from J.F. Gonzalez, Shadows in the Attic takes the reader from Ancient times to the mid-40’s weaving a tale of the history of horror—all the while discussing writers and stories that influenced, that captivated, and cultivated the genre through the centuries.
Includes articles from LampLight, Afraid, Hellnotes and a never before published history of Splatterpunk, with a list of related works.
The Shadows in the Attic Reader
Foundational Classic Horror
This companion anthology to J. F. Gonzalez’s Shadows in the Attic collects dark tales that inspired, frightened and made new ground in the horror genre.
Including writers like M. R. James, Francis Stevens, and Robert W. Chambers, the stories here compliment the rich history, a guided tour through horror’s past.
So come, let us head to the third floor, and dig through the boxes and trunks stored in the attic and see what darkness we can find.
OMG those covers
The Shadows and Reader covers were made by the amazing Lynne Hansen, and look just as amazing in print as they do here.
LampLight RadioPlay
The radio play had its final episode released in January. All good things, and the radio play was such a good thing. An amazing showcase of talent, from the actors to the writers from LampLight Magazine.
Based on the story by T.M Morgan, found in Volume 7, Issue 2—A storm hits a small island on the Chesapeake, awakening something from the past.
