- “Sticks” 1974 by Karl Edward Wagner Illustrated by Lee Brown Coye. Originally published in 1974 in Whispers Magazine, and a winner of the British Fantasy Award, this story is considered by archivists and madmen to be canonical Mythos, and to my inner eye could easily have been penned by Lovecraft himself with its vague otherworldly shifts and bleak upstate New York setting.

Where to find Karl Edward Wagner stories? I've always been really interested in reading Karl Edward Wagner's 'Sticks' because of its praise and connections to True Detective/Blair Witch, but I've never been able to find a copy of it in print or online.

Sticks (short story)
'Sticks' is a short story by horror fiction writer Karl Edward Wagner, first published in the March 1974 issue of Whispers.[1] It has been reprinted in several anthologies, including the revised edition of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, indicating that it is part of the Cthulhu Mythos genre.
The mysterious lattices of twigs were inspired by the work of Weird Tales artist Lee Brown Coye, who illustrated two Carcosa Press volumes which Wagner edited: Manly Wade Wellman's Worse Things Waiting and Hugh B. Cave's Murgunstrumm and Others (the latter volume appeared some years after 'Sticks' was written).
'Sticks' was also the inspiration for the lattice stick structures in the HBO show 'True Detective'.
