A Spider’s Web of Wyrd – Cathi Unsworth’s Review of the A Year In The Country: Wyrd Explorations Book in Fortean Times (and a Companionable Sidestep to Bob Fischer’s The Haunted Generation)

There’s a review by Cathi Unsworth of A Year In The Country: Wyrd Explorations in issue 456 of Fortean Times:

The review is a fascinating exploration of the themes in the book and also the wider cultural, social, political and historic background to both the book and interconnected wyrd, otherly Albion-esque, hauntological etc culture in general.

It’s also in good company as Bob Fischer’s regular The Haunted Generation column that he writes for Fortean Times in which he “rounds up the latest news from the parallel worlds of popular hauntology” is on the right hand side of the magazine’s two page spread which includes the Wyrd Explorations review.

Thanks to Cathi Unsworth for the review and David V. Barrett of Fortean Times who commissioned it. Cheers and a tip of the hat to both of them.
