Post-Fortean researcher Josh Cutchin has just released a three-volume work called Ecology of Souls that I think is not only going to breathe new life into the dying husk of High Weirdness but is destined to become a text students of the arcane will mention in the same breath as classics like Passport to Magonia, Cosmic Trigger and The Eighth Tower.
Months in the making, this interview - the first of two parts - dives into Josh's background and early works such as the neo-classic The Trojan Feast.
If you don't know his work, Josh is blazing a new trail that incorporates High Weirdness, depth psychology, folklore and Spiritualism, and takes the tired old tropes of Forteanism and gives them a bit of the old electrical shockers.
I had an absolutely fantastic time talking to Josh and I think you'll have just as much fun listening to this two-part meeting of the minds. Weigh in and let me know what you think.
