Think of it as a printed haunted mixtape for the long nights ahead.<\/p><p>Inside you\u2019ll find tales of frozen horrors, suburban dread and things that probably shouldn\u2019t move but do. There\u2019s folklore and film, ghosts and glitching childhood memories, and fantastic art ranging from felt monsters to infrared photography.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bvhhlmcqxsk5dphwvy2vbg6kr6dis5kasvliycjkmyp4zc0r.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"bvhhlmcqxsk5dphwvy2vbg6kr6dis5kasvliycjkmyp4zc0r.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ki7wkzwgownjuwela0cytuccgju9wnz5kkyb6fknooscotog.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"ki7wkzwgownjuwela0cytuccgju9wnz5kkyb6fknooscotog.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>What makes these publications special is the people. We\u2019ve somehow gathered another brilliant group of writers, artists and makers whose work really knocked our socks off (and we\u2019ve put some of our own work in there too, just to cling to their coattails \u2014 or should that be cape tails?).<\/p><p>We can now post copies to the Republic of Ireland and to Australia, as well as the United Kingdom and the United States. (Am I the only one who\u2019s noticed that countries with \u201cUnited\u201d in their names seem to be among the least united? I think we\u2019re overcompensating a bit.) Sadly, the cost to send to America has almost doubled, thanks to those Trump tariffs.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/qrdbkv6shfcs1v024vwpg7ysa5dvdhsvvywvzs926koosiw4.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"qrdbkv6shfcs1v024vwpg7ysa5dvdhsvvywvzs926koosiw4.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/yeujk4rwwhwfdhynscvevjnigrmvq1ugdupbjs2spoxcyqmp.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"yeujk4rwwhwfdhynscvevjnigrmvq1ugdupbjs2spoxcyqmp.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/>This is a limited run, so grab your copies while you can.

Before he dies, he reveals to his superiors that four prominent members of society \u2013 a government minister, a peer, a general and a famous scientist \u2013 are involved in a cult led by the satanic priestess Chin Yang.
