Five Years of Horror, Fantasy & Sci-Fi
Phantasmagoria first appeared in 2017, the debut issue landing on Hallowe’en of that year. Inspired by the British genre publications of the 1970s, ’80s and early-’90s, its ethos has always been to celebrate horror, fantasy and science fiction in its many varying forms, paying tribute to the masters of the past whilst looking ahead to the future.
In 2019, the spin-off Special Edition Series was launched, each volume focused on a specific genre writer or theme. Special Editions so far have been dedicated to R. Chetwynd-Hayes, The Lovecraft Squad series of books edited by Stephen Jones, M.R. James, Ramsey Campbell, Karl Edward Wagner, Brian Lumley and Fantasy Tales.
