  • In 2019, when we received the manuscript for the first Volume in the Óðinn Trilogy, The Hanged God: Óðinn Grímnir, it wasn't initially made clear to us whether the book was intended to be part of a series of books, or of a specific trilogy.

    The project also came as somewhat of a last-minute surprise; as such it wasn't initially scheduled for publication that year. However, the cancellation of another project created a vacuum, of sorts, in our schedule.

    Naturally, it made sense that we try to publish The Hanged God as soon as we could. At the time, our budget was quite meager (which wasn't at all ideal), and due to the more academic (and less praxical) approach of this particular work (compared to some of Shani's previous titles), we did not know what the reaction of the readership would be.

    All of these factors led to the decision to go for a refined (slightly elevated) Paperback edition, rather than our usual three distinct Hardcover edition treatments, upon release... Which, in retrospect, wasn't the best of ideas. That much we will admit.

  • Because The Hanged God ended up being one of our bestselling titles, this created a desire from our readers to eventually publish a Hardcover version. However, circling back to this project took a few years. In the meantime, Volume 2 of the trilogy, Wolfs-Head, was published (which did get the Hardcover treatment in 2020).

    Volume 2: Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, the Ecstatic God of Tethers & Skin-Turning

    In 2020, with the interest generated by The Hanged God (and Shani's having properly established that this would indeed be a whole trilogy), the second Volume for the trilogy, Wolfs-Head: Óðinn, the Ecstatic God of Tethers & Skin-Turning, was published in 2020, in three Hardcover editions format (Standard, Collector's, and Artisanal). These sold out quickly, before we had the chance to circle back to the first Volume in the trilogy.

  • For the foreseeable future, Anathema will NOT be reprinting the Anthology of Volume 1 of PILLARS: Perichoresis.

    Simply put, we no longer hold the copyrights to republish most of the materials presented in this anthology. Since PILLARS is a voluntary submission-based periodical, Authors and Artists ultimately are the ones who retain all the publication and dissemination rights for their work.

     Since most of the material could not be part of a reprint, the end result would be a sub-par version of the 2016 edition. And so we’ve decided not to revisit the book at all.

    N.B. We know this can be a source of constant frustration and irritation for the Collectors out there, but please keep in mind that: A) The 2016 Perichoresis edition technically was already the reissued Deluxe edition of the first 3 PILLARS that each previously, and independently, had their own print run... And that B) We would not infringe any copyright laws or hurt and author/artist's volition in republishing something they would not agree to be reprinted.

     Aside from copyright issues, the transient nature of the PILLARS books as 'offerings,' in general, makes it so that we can never promise any such things ahead of time in a definite manner. And so, whilst we are still technically selling copies of our latest PILLARS, no reprints for Volume 2 are currently in the plans. Since Volume 2 is/was already presented in Hardcover format, we doubt we'll revisit this decision anytime soon.
