Wormwood (journal)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wormwood: Writings about fantasy, supernatural and decadent literature is a journal of literature and literary criticism, published semi-annually since 2003 by Tartarus Press.
As the subtitle indicates, the journal focuses on fantasy and Decadence, and especially on European authors of the past two centuries. Most of the selections are criticism articles or book reviews, although some previously unpublished fiction has recently appeared. It also features a column each issue titled "The Decadent World-View" by Brian Stableford, analyzing texts which provided particular influence on the French Decadents, particularly Charles Baudelaire.
