Scream Magazine Review of Wyrd Kalendar! - "If you like your scare fare laced with imagination, surprise, and plenty of spine-tingling moments, I cannot recommend this enough"

Scream Magazine - Available online, internationally and from the shelves of WHSmith.

Superb news from the World of Wyrd Kalendar  this month with a lovely review in Issue 49 of Scream Magazine.

This four star review really captures the feel of the book and its rich variety:
"There's a story here for all horror tastes, from the understated to the gruesome and everything in between."
"Those with a fondness for horror's rich folk heritage will find plenty to enjoy here, but what's most impressive about Wyrd  Kalendar is how both Lambert and Paciorek have captured the spirit and mood of each month in their storytelling."
"If you like your scare fare laced with imagination, surprise, and plenty of spine-tingling moments, I cannot recommend this enough."

The Wyrd Kalendar Album - June Artist - Alison O'Donnell

Last year we prepared for the publication of the book Wyrd Kalendar...

This year we are making ready an album of  the same name...

This new album will contain 13 tracks - 12 of which will be related to the stories from the book and the month of the year. The album will be released by the very groovy Mega Dodo (who released Songs from the Black Meadow in 2016). All profits from the album will go to charity.

The artists have been given a month each, a copy of the linked story and Andy Paciorek's picture to give them a starting point and away they go!
