Nightlands, Volume Two Available for Preorder

31st Aug 2026

Chiroptera Press has announced Nightlands, Volume Two the thematic successor to such classics as Nyctalops, Whispers, Necronomicon Press, Weirdbook, and Dagon, among others.

Nightlands, Volume Two contains, among its contents, “The Unholy City” by Thomas Ligotti, a print version of the audio he performed years ago with Durtro. 

About the Book:

Nightlands is not only a study of classic and modern weird fiction, but a celebration and nod to some of the greatest weird fiction zines out there: Nyctalops, Whispers, Necronomicon Press, Weirdbook, Dagon, and so many more. Many of us grew up on these wonderful zines and this is a way that Chiroptera Press can give back, as well as break new ground.
