Thank you Matt Holder at Strange Horizons for the lovely review of Contra Amatores Mundi! We hope the novella's strange words and weird prose can excite many of us during this Halloween season :)

Contra Amatores Mundi: A Gothic Fantasy by Graham Thomas Wilcox

Contra Amatores Mundi is a love story soaked in martial theology and stylistic decadence.

The ivory Pequod was turned into what seemed a shamble; every sailor a butcher.

Absolute masterclass from Fehervari here on why it can be better to avoid relying on tabletop names in the books. My head tells me this is probably a Vespid Stingwing, but the sense of vagueness and uncertainty adds so much to this scene.

I'm in my normal horse era.

an early 15th century night sits atop a caparisonned "Horse" which itself is stood in some shallow water. The Knight wears a bascinet and has a shield with his heraldry on (mirrored on tha caparison) the horse's head has been replaced with a shrine of some king where a whithered figure holds a book open, forwards away from the horse, the shrine is surrounded by candles.
