"Phantasmagorium" is a new quarterly magazine. It will be edited by none other than our own, Laird Barron.

The first issue will be out very soon...

Laird Barron has chosen!!! We promised an author announcement here at Phantasmagorium, and we always deliver. The first issue of Phantasmagorium will contain works by:

1. Stephen Graham Jones author of "Demon Theory" (www.demontheory.net)
2. Scott Nicolay author of "Ana Kai Tangata" (www.aklopress.org)
3. http://www.facebook.com/jspulver author of "Blood Will Have Its Season" (www.thisyellowmadness.blogspot.com)
... 4. Simon Strantzas author of "Beneath the Surface" (www.strantzas.com)
5. Anna Tambour author of "Spotted Lily" (www.annatambour.net)
6. Genevieve Valentine author of "The Nearest Thing" (www.genevievevalentine.com)

Look for it soon!!!

This is where my [10,300 word] Ligotti tribute "And this is where I go down into the darkness" will appear... Tom had very nice things to say about my tale.

Thank you Joe, always nice to see more Strantzas works seeping into the world (I'm working on something magazine/journal based myself at the moment though there's no way it clash with this).

Shall probably wait till The Grimscribe's Puppets for those Ligotti stories though!

One of my favorite stories by him is when a "muse" arrives on an authors door step and the creep'o meter hits eleven.
 
PHANTASMAGORIUM looks great, I will certainly keep a look out for it. The first story I ever read by Laird was "Proboscis" several years ago, and I've been a fan ever since.
 
I will definitely be keeping my eye on that web page for a date of release and details of obtaining a copy. Sounds like it will be an excellent magazine.
*rubs hands in anticipation*
 
I had no idea this journal was in the works. I am very excited about this, the table of contents looks quite intriguing. I've discovered a few new writers from following Mr. Barron's blog, so I've come to trust his taste for the most part. :cool:

I should have also said in my post that my tale "And this is where I go down..." will not be in The Grimscribe's Puppets. I've removed it from consideration for the book and sold it to "PHANTA". Tom told me it should go in TGP and I thought I would do what he suggested, but it has bothered me a great deal. I hate editors using their own work in a book and so I've taken it off the table. Further, I did not want my work to take up pages that could be used for the fine work of other writers.

All of the tales in TGP will be new ones, w/ the possible exception of one, which Tom wanted to see included.

Sorry if my other post caused any confusion.
 
Even as a contributor, I'm fairly under-informed about what to expect, so when I say I'm looking forward to seeing this thing released, I mean it as much as everyone else.

We're about two days late without word, and as of today the website no longer has content, but I'm expecting this to merely indicate the launch is imminent. That's my hope, at the very least.
 
The site's been updated to announce the launch, but I don't see any way to actually purchase either a digital or physical copy.
 
Excellent.I was going to go for the print version, but I'm quite keen to delve into this fresh realm of horror and I'm not sure I can wait! :)
