I’m forcing myself to dial back the feverish intensity for this week’s eyeball fodder because I absolutely do not want to come across as an unyielding tyrant and I don’t want to be off-putting or self-righteously sanctimonious or an annoying know-it-all. I don’t want to be any of those things and yet I am afraid […]

A collection of 8 new limited edition Mourning Beads and Ritual Strands will be released on Friday, November 29th at 3pm EST via BloodMilk Jewels, in addition to a restock on currently sold out onyx strands and their collection of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfumes.
Inspiration of the day: Alexandra Jacob (@alexandrajacob on IG). The fluidity of her angles are like doors swinging open and shut on their hinge, gateways through realms, invoking an emotional self eroticism. Photos via Alexandra’s Instagram page.

The little deaths of Tutorero on Etsy: handmade miniature models of execution machines (some complete with the condemned & condemning) and alien abductions. I actually screamed “THE LITTLE HEAD!” when I saw this one. The Midnight Abduction is, without a doubt, my personal favorite. Find these execution and extraterrestrial models in Tutoreto’s shop on Etsy.
Weenie time, weenie time! It’s Weenie time at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab! I think I can skip the preamble this year and get right into it. I mean, I could very well wax poetic about my love of autumn leaves and long, dark nights and bloody harvest moons and spooky Halloween feels, but I’m pretty […]
Full Moon Tarotscopes from Sarah Faith Gottesdiener This Tuesday, November 12th, we greet our November Full Moon in the sign of Taurus. When the Moon is Full, it is opposite the sun. At this Full Moon, the planet Mercury, currently retrograde, is also opposite the Moon. Here, we think about the benefits of getting distance. […]
Maika A Song for a New Day by Sarah Pinsker – I enjoyed this novel every bit as much as Pinsker’s previous short story collection, Sooner or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea. This book is set in the same world as one of the stories in that collection, which was very satisfying. I’d be […]

Dear Arcanalogue, I am a 38 year old woman, and in the past two months, there have been drastic changes in my life. I am living alone for the first time, and I am single — another first for my adult life. I don’t really know how to do this. I don’t know how to […]
Sadly I did not engage in my annual tradition of watching one horror movie a day, every day during the month of October. I didn’t have the time! I’m so sorry! If you missed them in previous years, you can find my 31 Days of Horror in our archives for 2018 and 2017. I’m definitely […]

Years ago, I read a horror book called The Ritual. I don’t remember how it crossed my path, though I do have a fondness for both wilderness spookers and Scandinavia — probably it was on a list of books compiled by someone I trusted, or maybe the Internet’s various algorithms simply delivered me to its […]
The month of October is a most marvelous time to see spooky new art emerge on social media while artists all over the world are participating in eerie seasonal 31-days challenges such as #Inktober or the #Mabsdrawlloweenclub…and I eagerly await its arrival every year! There’s such a fantastically diverse variety of styles and mediums, from […]

Cat Call: Reclaiming the Feral Feminine is out now from Weiser Books and during […]

The now turned cult classic (at least, priced as such) “Diableries” is releasing a second edition later this month – naturally, its street date falls on Halloween.

Originally, I had intended this grouping of stones to be entitled “Persephone’s Ascent”, in a response to the last collection release. Those stones were grouped for the New Moon, the darkness, the mark of the beginning of longer nights and the steps down into the Underworld. That was just one half of a lunar cycle […]
