New IFWG Chapbook Release: Azathoth and Other Horrors by Leigh Blackmore


IFWG is excited to announce the release of the eighth in IFWG’s Chapbook series of publications: Leigh Blackmore’s Azathoth and Other Horrors (the Collected Nightmare Lyrics by Edward Pickman Derby).

“It is always a highly satisfying experience to release one of our Chapbook titles,” said Managing Director, Gerry Huntman, “especially when the content is in the niche space – meaning that many publishers will balk at specialised literary pieces. For IFWG, this is, in part, why we publish, to make available these gems. Blackmore’s wonderful collection of poetry is certainly an example of such gems, and we particularly love the conceit in the title.”

“The discovery of the fabulously rare Azathoth and Other Horrors by Edward Pickman Derby is a monumental achievement. Veteran editor Leigh Blackmore has added a number of poems to the original edition of 1931. Derby’s poetry as a whole shows him to be a truly haunted individual—haunted by terrors in life, literature, and the boundless cosmos. There may be some danger in reading this book: beware the blasting of your soul by Derby’s array of versified venom!”
