Phantasmagorium is a new arrival on
the horror short fiction market, but this quarterly magazine already made an
impression. With a strong first issue (for which I’ll have a review soon) and a
stronger second one (reviewed here) Phantasmagorium found easily its way on my
watch list. The first two issues of Phantasmagorium were edited by Laird
Barron, but from the third issue, due to be released this month, the editorial
position is taken by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. Laird Barron made an excellent job
with the first two appearances of Phantasmagorium, but I am convinced that
Joseph S. Pulver will maintain the quality of this notable magazine. My
confidence comes from the previous encounters I had with Joseph Pulver’s
fiction, in “The Best Horror of the Year Volume 3” and “The Book of Cthulhu”,
but also from the appetizing table of contents he assembled for the third
issue:
“The
Sour Aftertaste of Olive Lemon” by Cate Gardner
“Nature’s Mother” by Cody Goodfellow
“Blown Out” by Ann K. Schwader
“To Walk the Night” by Edward Morris
“Coptic Light” by Michael Cisco
“Nature’s Mother” by Cody Goodfellow
“Blown Out” by Ann K. Schwader
“To Walk the Night” by Edward Morris
“Coptic Light” by Michael Cisco
The
new issue of Phantasmagorium will be released on 13th of May.
