fiction in translation was a huge part of Farnsworth Wright's vision for the new genre of weird fiction being created in the pages of WEIRD TALES! read about it, the history of weird fic in translation, and some examples all in this book!
On this day in 1922, the first issue of the pioneering horror magazine Weird Tales was published. Its second editor, Farnsworth Wright, would turn the publication into a powerhouse for translated literature, which is documented in our collection Night Fears (@geoliminal.bsky.social)

a really fun book that I think captures an underappreciated facet of the history of weird fiction!

Layouts in progress for a new pamphlet of Kleist translations. I'm having a lot of fun with colored type, and it felt appropriate to have fancy OpenType script for "On the Marionette Theater":

Reprint in progress: Shadowings by Lafcadio Hearn, an excellent collection from 1900, featuring studies of Japanese legends and linguistics as well as more personal, Gothic and Symbolist-inspired narratives. An odd duck in Hearn's catalog but all the stronger for it. @addisonzeller.bsky.social
