  "The Romance of the Headless Horseman" is a gothic poem by Hercules Ellis, first appearing in his collection of poems in "The Rhyme Book" published in 1851. This rare 19th-century penny dreadful spins a dark and dramatic story inspired by ghostly legends of a decapitated rider who stalks the night. With its gripping suspense and eerie atmosphere, this forgotten classic is a gem of gothic poetry ─ a haunting tale that is a great accompaniment for any dark or stormy night.

  The year is 1553, the true Golden Age of English football. It's the Allen Valley Whitsun Game, and men will die today.
  This is the big game, and it's been raging for hours. Percy and Rowan are out in the middle of nowhere, miles from the action, when a stranger joins them. A stranger with tidings that will blow their world apart.
  Time passes. Night falls. The great chain of being collapses. And they're losing the bloody football...
  Stewart Pringle's play The Bounds is a darkly comedic tale of national divides, folk horror and the end of the world as we know it. It was first co-produced by Live Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Royal Court Theatre, London, and performed at both theatres in 2024, directed by Jack McNamara.

  “A rare feat for any book of poems, let alone a debut, in that the lines, wrought with such deft precision and care, mark the sum total of a life richly lived and felt at the seat of poetry...These poems care, first and foremost, for what they write of and through, which is a much needed—yet increasingly rare—achievement.” -- Ocean Vuong 
  Engaging the matriarchal structure of the beehive, Amanda Moore explores the various roles a woman plays in the family, the home, and the world at large. Beyond the productivity and excess, the sweetness and sting, Requeening brings together poems of motherhood and daughterhood, an evolving relationship of care and tending, responsibility and joy, dependence and deep love. 
  The poems that anchor this collection don’t shy away from the inevitability of a hive’s collapse and consider the succession of “requeening” a hive as “a new heart ready to be fed and broken and fed again.” The collapse is both physical—there are poems of illness and recovery—and emotional, as the mother-daughter relationship shifts, the daughter becoming separate, whole, and poised to displace. The liminal spaces these poems traverse in human relationships is echoed in a range of poetic and hybrid form, offering freedom and stricture as they contemplate the way we hold one another in love and grief. 
  Requeening is a vivid and surprising collection of poems from a winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition.
