The fifteenth issue of Spectral Realms features scintillating work from many of the leading weird poets of today, including Frank Coffman, Wade German, K. A. Opperman, Ann K. Schwader, and Steven Withrow. David Barker continues his cycle of poems inspired by Lovecraft’s Fungi from Yuggoth; Carl E. Reed offers a chilling ballad, The Call of Lizzie, while DJ Tyrer evokes Robert W. Chambers’s most famous creations in Carcoza and In the Court of the Dragon. Justin Permenter summons up the all too real terrors of the Inquisition, Lori R. Lopez mulls on the eternal fascination of the cat, and Adam Bolivar presents a pair of his memorable ballads.

Among the prose poems in this issue, Maxwell I. Gold contributes a trio of his striking ruminations on the terrors of the cyber world, while D. L. Myers finds weirdness in the natural world in Lepidoptera, My Sweet. In the Classic Reprints section we find poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Conrad Aiken. S. T. Joshi reviews a trilogy of recent books of poetry, while Leigh Blackmore finds much merit in K. A. Opperman’s new volume. In all, a rich feast for the devotee of the weird in verse!
