Strange Attractor Journal Five

Strange Attractor Journal Five, edited by Mark Pilkington and Jamie Sutcliffe / ISBN 9781907222528 / 280-page paperback with flaps published in 2023 by Strange Attractor Press (UK) *** The acclaimed Strange Attractor Journal returns with a characteristically eclectic collection of high weirdness from the margins of culture. Covering previously uncharted regions of history, anthropology, art, literature, architecture, science, and magic since 2004, each Journal has presented new and unprecedented research into areas that scholarship has all too often ignored. Featuring essays from academics, artists, enthusiasts, and sorcerers, Journal Five explores matters including the occult origins of the dissident surrealist secret society the Acéphale; the dark cosmological mysteries of Bremen’s Haus Atlantis; a provisional taxonomy of animals with human faces; a twentieth-century crucifixion on Hampstead Heath, speculation on the creation of one of the most famous pieces of cave art, and an unpublished horror script by David MacGillivray and Ken Hollings.
