Ron Weighell
Ron Weighell is a bibliophile, publisher, and fiction writer associated with Tartarus Press and the journal Wormwood. His supernatural tales, often in debt to Arthur Machen, appeared in All Hallows, Ghosts & Scholars, and small-press anthologies before this collected edition.
About
Ron Weighell’s fiction ranges from theurgical summonings and antiquarian horrors to Machenesque tales of sanctity and sin, often in long, ceremonious prose. The three groups in this book trace that arc through stories published in small-press magazines in the 1980s and 1990s, establishing Weighell as a central voice in the British weird revival before his later work with Tartarus Press and Wormwood.
