The present collection is a series of supernatural stories written by Gregory E. Williams conceived with the long history of the Christmas ghost story as backdrop (the tradition predates Victorian authors like Dickens and perhaps even Christianity). The tales center around the strangeness of memory and the passage of time, intersected by queer history and identity. They circle around themes related to the last decades of the 20th Century, for example, the dawning of the millennium as a cultural event. Obsolete technologies like tape recorders and archived internet posts reappear and impinge weirdly upon the lives of characters.

As I wrote these pieces, I was struck by how alien the markers of the recent past can seem. On the other hand, the year 2000 really was a long time ago, and we are as if in an aftertime where past coordinates are increasingly obsolete, albeit hauntingly present. As I prepare this text for publication, we are in midst of a pandemic. The present also feels radically alien, and the future unimaginable. Researchers are looking into ways that the coronavirus ordeal is warping our experience of time. Duke University psychologist and neuroscientist, Kevin LaBar noted to Discover magazine, “I’ve experienced it myself. As this drags on, and as your day becomes very constrained by your limited environment, the days kind of blend together.” This is as good a time as any to indulge in some ghost stories for Christmas, that is, to give some regard to the looming, primeval night.

New album from Interregnum

[interregnum-music]

Down in the gap All things combine Before all names And lacking sign Down in the gap All things combine Out of the flame Out of the rime

Down in the gap All things combine Fore wax and wane Outside of time

[interregnum-music]

Drunk art thou and mad thy deeds Wiggle, wiggle, to break free Cast a gaze of icy scorn Can’t have roses without thorns

From offspring’s guts Forged chains of iron Binding him till the end of time Blood for blood Scion for scion Binding him till the end of time
