Late last year I contributed a short piece to a very special occult anthology book from Repeater Books, The Repeater Book of the Occult.

As the book was published in the thick of the pandemic, the first in-person book launch took place only recently in Estonia. The book’s co-editor, Tariq Goddard, and illustrator Christiana Spens, were accompanied at the event by local musicians, for a discussion and recorded readings from Carl Neville, Claire Cronin and myself. 

It all took place in a suitably low-lit, historical space celebrating this evocative collection of horror writing.

Synopsis

Exploring the history of mysticism, the Occult, and “the grey zone between what appears and what is,” editors Tariq Goddard, Eugene Thacker, and a party of contributing Repeater authors including Rhian E. Jones, Carl Neville, Leila Taylor, Claire Cronin, Siouxzi Connor, Tristam Adams, Elvia Wilk, and Christiana Spens, explore their favourite classic horror tales in this beautiful hardback volume.
