Punaküla Põleb – A Book Of Estonian Malefica [Amazon, Bookshop, Publisher] by Troy Trevoli Vonder

“Punaküla Põleb is a deep dive into the malefic heart of Estonian witchcraft, a pocket-sized grimoire collecting the maleficia, nocturnal forces, Devils and werewolves of Estonian lore alongside the tales of trials and the histories of those condemned for consorting with baneful powers. Both folkloric testimony and a work of forbidden art, The Red Village Burns stands as a unique Estonian Black Book: a rare guide to the sinister currents of Baltic sorcery.

The manuscript opens with the many faces of the Christian Devil in Estonia, each revealing layers of fear, resistance and dark fascination. It then conjures witches both real and imagined, and records the spells and maledictions whispered in fields, barns, and courtrooms: charms to steal milk and butter, curses to twist bones, incantations to summon toads in an enemy’s belly, and transformation rites that turn men and women into wolves. It also reveals how Estonian lycanthropy diverges from other European forms, rooted less in lunar madness than in the will and craft of witches. To conclude, Punaküla Põleb unveils a neglected thread of European sorcery available for the first time in English: the Sinister Arts preserved in Estonian folklore, shaped by centuries of occupation, christianisation, and persecution.

Punaküla Põleb is available in matte-laminated paperback and hardcover editions.
Full-color interior – 136 pages.”

Quaint Folk [Amazon, Bookshop, Libro.fm, Publisher, Local Library] by Bitter Karella, due October 2026

“The Wicker Man meets The Twisted Ones in Bitter Karella’s Quaint Folk—a queer folk horror novel that peels back the idyllic veneer of a seemingly perfect island town to reveal the rot beneath.

From the outside, it looks like Jessica has the perfect life. She’s a stay-at-home mom, married to a man with a respectable job, raising a son they adore. Her family is as wholesome as all-American pie. But deep down, Jessica knows there’s something wrong with her; she knows she can’t escape her past.

When her husband’s job has them move abroad, Jessica thinks this is her chance for a fresh start. On the remote island of Hasenhurst, the modern world can’t get in. The people there grow their own herbs, make their own jam, and mind their own business. They believe in folk tales and the power of dreams. They tell visitors, we’re a quaint, quiet people.The right sort of family would do well here.

Jessica is determined to be the right kind of person for a family—and a life—like this. But as she tries to befriend the townsfolk and learn their ways, she soon realizes that beneath the town’s cozy idyll, something sickly-sweet and rotten lays buried…”

Bright Dead Star [Amazon, Publisher, Local Library] by Caitlín R Kiernan, illo Lee Moyer

“From tales of bizarre violence and murder, haunted photographs and films, through reflections on the flexible borders of sanity and the perverse, to alien horrors from deep time, deep space, and the deep sea, Bright Dead Star is a veritable supernova of the weird and uncanny as only master fantasist Caitlín R. Kiernan can deliver.

Among the collection’s twenty-five tales are a dying woman’s communion with the dying sea (“Strandling”), childhood recollections of a sky filled with rattlesnakes (“Crotalus”), to a loathsome couple with a far more loathsome secret (“L’homme et la femme terribles”), these are stories that pull no punches and demand that your preconceptions of genre should be checked before the book’s covers are even cracked.

In short, this is Kiernan doing what Kiernan does best.”

The King in Yellow [Publisher] by Robert W Chambers, annotated by S T Joshi, illo Jeremy Hush, due April/May 2026

“Robert W. Chambers’s short story collection The King in Yellow (1895) has become a classic of weird fiction. It was praised by H. P. Lovecraft as a book that “achives notable heights of cosmic fear.” Its first several stories are interconnected narratives featuring recurring characters as well as a hideous play entitled The King in Yellow that induces madness in anyone who reads it. Such figures from that play as Cassilda, Camilla, and especially the King in Yellow himself have gone on to inspire dozens of writers to write stories inspired by Chambers’s conception—which he himself derived in part from Ambrose Bierce.

Included in the volume are such memorable tales as “The Repairer of Reputations,” which depicts a nightmare future of euthanasia chambers and a man who battles the King in Yellow for rulership of the world; “The Mask,” an exquisitely beautiful story of a woman turned into marble; “The Yellow Sign,” a towering work of gruesomeness and morbidity; and “The Demoiselle d’Ys,” in which a man drifts insensibly into the medieval past.

After a mesmerizing series of prose poems, “The Prophet’s Paradise,” The King in Yellow concludes with several memorable tales of the Franco-Prussian War of 187-71, in which Chambers—who studied art in Paris before writing his book—chronicles the grimness of war and the struggles of civilians to survive in its midst.”
