In his review of the Wyrd Kalendar project Mark Barton describes the Wyrd Kalendar album as "an immaculate set that gathers together thirteen like-minded alchemists operating in the disciplines of folk, psych and hauntology".
He praises the various wonderful artists throughout for example describing Wyrdstone's track as "touchingly drifting n’ dreamy" and Rowan Amber Mill's track as"utterly beguiling."

4 Star Review from Shindig Magazine for Wyrd Kalendar Book and Album
They said:
"The etching-like pen-and-ink illustrations by Paciorek, the founder of the Folk Horror Revival project and its Wyrd Harvest Press publishing offshoot, perfectly capture the uncanny imagery of the tales, as do the 12 tracks on the accompanying CD..."
"...this package represents a thriving literary and musical counter-culture."
Keep it Wyrd!

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."
