"Vastarien feels like the slow food movement for horror literature. You can head on over to NPR and read a quick article about how "Reading Horror Can Arm Us Against A Horrifying World," which is good but in the end pretty shallow, or you can pick up Issue #1 of Vastarien and read about how an actual psychiatrist uses horror literature to heal. Want to know what it is like to be inside the mind of a horror writer? Go check out Stephen King's twitter- he has some great pictures of his corgis- or you can pick up Issue #2 of Vastarien where Tim Waggoner lays it all bare in "How to be a Horror Writer." Waggoner's piece is profoundly personal and hard hitting, the kind of work that makes you want to close the book and reflect on your own life. Plus his dog is way darker. Want some speculation on what the ending of Twin Peaks: The Return actually meant? I'm sure that Reddit's got you covered, but it you are looking for a deep dive into the Twin Peaks ending there is a smart and deep discussion by Rob F. Martin in Vastarien Issue #2."

"So there you have it, there are plenty of places to roam around on the internet to find your fix of the creepy and uncanny, but holding a physical copy of a great publication like Vastarien is still the best. Superb dark fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and artwork come together to explore and venerate the work of Thomas Ligotti and others that populate his particular corner of horror literature. If you are a huge Ligotti fan like me Vastarien can serve as your doorway to other interesting horror works or if you have never experienced Ligotti's unique brand of nightmare horror Vastarien is flat out the best way to get introduced. If you are someone who buys everything on Amazon do us a favor and click our affiliate link to the right and buy Issue #2 today, it doesn't cost you any more but it helps us keep the lights on around here. Even better, you can cut out the middle man and head straight on over to Grimscribe Press and order either single issues or a yearly subscription via PayPal. Subscription options and other cool bonus content is also available through Vastarien's Patreon page."
