As some of you who follow me on Twitter will know, I'm doing a 4-issue small-press magazine called Rituals & Declarations (or @RitualsZine on Twitter).

It sells for £6 a copy, and contains articles, art, and fiction.

Issue 1 looks like this:



...and contains this:

• Navigating the Hill of Dreams: the Significance of Folk Horror in an Age of Ecological Breakdown - by L B Limbrey
• Bodies of Water - Fiction by Sylvia Warren
• Acid Renaissance: Albion’s True Standard Advanced - Art by Paul Watson
• Cunning County by Emily Banting - Fiction by David Southwell, with art by Maria Strutz
• Bienvenue à Villefranche: Black Spot Season One - Review by David Southwell
• Cathexis - by Tim Dedopulos
• Cthulhu Madness - by Phil Hine, with art by Maria Strutz
• The Demon’s Mistress or the Demon’s Self: The Snake and the Monstrous Feminine - by Maria J Pérez Cuervo
• O Sunny Hour! Towards the Centenary of the Vine Press - by Justin Hopper

You can order copies online from https://ritualsdeclarations.bigcartel.com/

But wait, there's more. From next week, it will be stocked in Travelling Man in Leeds, Manchester, York, and Newcastle. That's in addition to already being carried in shops in Brighton, London, Berlin, and (across the pond) California, Massachusetts, and Washington. (Full list of stockists here)

Issue 2 is coming out in April and will contain fiction by Jamie Delano (writer of the really good early Hellblazer comics, Dr Who comic, and many more), Sylvia Warren, and David Southwell, plus more art and articles. So you should probably get a copy of issue 1 now, and be ready to order issue 2 in April.

Great! Will order a copy now! Send me an address and I'll send you a copy of Abridged if you'd like one!

Wonderful. That looks nice ... ... just ordered one ... ...

Copies arrived in the Leeds branch of Travelling Man yesterday - copies will be distributed out to their Manchester, York, and Newcastle branches over the next few days
