Kickstarter alert! THE SKULL & LAUREL: A New Weird Fiction Magazine

The New Weird (of the first decade of the 2000's anyway) informed my taste and aesthetic immeasurably. I'm glad someone is explicitly saying "let's move this forward."

This Kickstarter is for a quarterly new Weird magazine. Short Weird fiction is literally foundational to Call of Cthulhu. From the KS page:

Tenebrous Press is eager to expand beyond book publishing and establish a permanent foothold in the short Speculative Fiction world with our quarterly New Weird Fiction magazine: THE SKULL & LAUREL!

There's a bit more detail in their announcement, here.

Tenebrous Press are very cool. I bought a pair of novellas from them (one of which was a kind of folk horror written in verse, a frankly brilliant idea) and aside from the quality, which was high, my shipment came in a cool little box. I couldn't bear to throw it away and now I put all my stickers in it.
