IFWG is very happy to announce the release of Leigh Blackmore’s collection of dark and weird fiction, Nightmare Logic: Tales of the Macabre, Fantastic and Cthulhuesque. “This is the second collection we are publishing of Blackmore’s,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG, “complementing his recent poetry chapbook, Azathoth and Other Horrors: The Collected Nightmare Lyrics by Edward Pickman Derby. Blackmore is among the elite of master wordsmiths in the Lovecraftian/Weird Fiction space, and this collection distills much of his best work, along with some playful pieces, including a micro-screenplay and stage play. Some of his stories are disturbing to the core. We are very proud to have Blackmore in our catalogue and nicely, neatly, add to our Weird sub-catalogue of publications.”

The chilling, atmospheric cover is by Luke Spooner.

Nightmare logic 1. The inexorable horror of bad dreams 2. that which lurks unsuspected in the shadows of the waking world 3. forgotten and unacknowledged pasts rising up to claim the present 4. the twisted raison d’etre of things that should not be – but are. 

At the intersection of this world and others, unimaginable things can happen. With this collection of stories, Leigh Blackmore invites you to voyage with him into urban decay and otherworldly dimensions, to discover paranoia and unknown planes of existence, to experience realms of cosmic alienage, and the fantastic that lies at the heart of the real.These stories of nightmarish events, by turns eerie, haunting, deliriously disturbing, are sure to show you a darkness of your own, a world in which (perversely) you will want to stay immersed rather than awaken. Open the pages of this book and be drawn ineluctably into a labyrinth or sorcery and sex, of bizarre mind games and stranger rituals…a whirlpool of darkness…the world of NIGHTMARE LOGIC.

Nightmare Logic is available globally from all good bookstores, online and bricks and mortar – in print and ebook formats. NB: There will be lag in print availability in Australia and New Zealand for the next few months.
