The latest issue of Spectral Realms contains an abundance of scintillating verse from the leading weird poets of today, including Ann K. Schwader, Frank Coffman, Scott J. Couturier, Wade German, and others. John Shirley warns that "we are becoming demonic machines"; Carl E. Reed speaks of the terrors of Samhain; DJ Tyrer channels Robert W. Chambers in "Cassilda's Song"; and Steven Withrow commemorates the poets of Weird Tales.

The issue reveals its international scope in poems by Ngo Binh Anh Khoa (Vietnam), Lauri Taneli Lassila (Finland), Arukoya Tamois (Korea), and Norbert Gora (Poland), among others. Prose poems by Maxwell I. Gold (who has made this literary form a specialty of his own) and Manuel Arenas enliven the issue, as do reprints of classic poems by William Wilfred Campbell and Mary Elizabeth Coleridge.

The issue concludes with reviews of several new volumes of poetry by Leigh Blackmore and S. T. Joshi.
