"The dust roamed, and in its midst, the code ..." Thus begins the
revelations of Occultus Liber, an epic tale of the journey of
civilization through time and space. With its collective cast of
extraordinary characters both mythological and real, the quest to
discover the fate of planet Earth leads to a bizarre odyssey of
Biblical proportions. Satire abounds as dozens of players join the
chase to dismantle God and claim the world as their own in this
"prophetic" novel.
For centuries, students of the forbidden arts have probed the inky
recesses of the spaces inbetween. Hapless mortals have invoked
monstrous entities from beyond through foul magicks, incantations
and rituals. When will they learn that there can be no profit nor
joy to be gained through relations with the insidious old ones?
These sixteen tales of depravity, sorcery and madness may offer
some illumination, but ultimately there can be no salvation for
those who dabble in The Dark Rites of Cthulhu. Featuring terrifying
new stories by Glynn Owen Barrass, Edward M. Erdelac, John
Goodrich, Scott T. Goudsward, T. E. Grau, C.J. Henderson, Tom
Lynch, William Meikle, Christine Morgan, Robert M. Price, Pete
Rawlik, Josh Reynolds, Brian M. Sammons, Sam Stone, Jeffrey Thomas
and Don Webb and edited by Brian M. Sammons, The Dark Rites of
Cthulhu shares cautionary tales set in a multiverse of jealousy,
greed, desperation and naivety and is guaranteed to delight
students of the Dark Arts and followers of the Great Old Ones
alike.
Absurdity, social realism, and the in-depth examination of the
human condition are but a few of the themes that comprise the
contents of the seventy-three short stories breathing menacingly
between the covers of this book. Humor attacks surrealism on a
landscape sun-saturated with saintly thought and intense clarity -
creation's first simple act of pure effervescence getting drowned.
The poems in this collection comprise a unity of poetic
imagination. The connective tissue between them is a union of both
time and space. Poetry's aim is to cast light on human experience,
and even though several of these poems consist of inanimateness,
each poem is still endowed with a familiar spirit, a whispering
demon, a meditated plan of action.

These two novellas are strange companions indeed. Wimble Lord
depicts one man's fight for survival while the world around him is
on the brink of extinction. What sets Wimble Lord apart from other
'end-of-the-world' sagas are his mad recollections of a futuristic
civilization long since past. Emerging from his bomb shelter, he is
confronted by a desert that bears a jungle of giant fruits and
swarms of migratory, other-worldly insects. Pieces of Humanity is
part fantasy/fairytale straight out of Mozart's opera, The Magic
Flute. 'The Magic Flute' himself carries the reader on a flight
through time that unlocks the mysteries of existence as he is
pursued by protagonists evE and Trash McKay in the hopes that they
alone can possess his eternal secrets.
Brown has become tramatized by the random violence of the city and
the intense alienation of human existence. In an effort to escape,
he 'disappears' into the rural landscape of America, where he
encounters an eccentric family and much more than he had ever
bargained for. Becoming Brown is an existential examination of the
American Psyche, as the novel explores both man's indifference to
himself, as well as his fellowman. It is only when Brown's
environment changes and brutality takes on an immediate cause, that
he comes to realize the essence of being a human being in the
world.
After a nuclear holocaust, the survivors of a mental hospital
struggle to find some sense of order among the chaos. Imprisoned
within the hospital itself, a particular group of crazy inmates
attempt to locate the legendary Z Room which offers the only way
out of the intricately mazed institution. Z Room is a satirical
take on the Nuclear Holocaust, where the clinically insane and
deviant finally discover the stability and moral fabric they need
in order to survive. But it is more than just that. IT is a
redefinition of the nuclear family and a celebration of the tribal
sense of community.
Frank and Earth Goddess RoseEmerald, are headed for the Oregon
Coast in their automobile named Hardy, when they pick up a
hitchhiker who claims to be Jesus, and crash their car in front of
a Strange Lonely Church. Taken in by the mysterious Keeper, Frank
and RoseEmerald become entangled in a historical battle between
religion and mysticism whereby they transcend time in a magical
mystery tour of thoughts, dreams, fantasies and emotions, and
experience the Final Vision. Part hippy counterculture, part
detective novel, part Civil War Epic, part Spiritual Odyssey and
part Call of the WILD (the novel includes a talking dog named Fast
Freeze), RoseEmerlad is, underneath it all, a love story that
embraces the eternal themes of sacrifice, salvation, and sainthood.
Clifton and Tricia Long are on Holiday in the Black Forrest of
Germany when they become victims of a terrorist attack. The novel,
within a novel, follows Clifton's attempt to survive after
witnessing a horrific incident, in which he discovers that
existence probes deeper than physical reality, and that there is
nothing more misleading than simple innocence. The novel within a
novel consists of excerpts from a manuscript Clifton had been
working on prior to his trip to Germany. Within it, he conceals
elements of his former life, even though his 'novel' follows in the
footsteps of a sadistic murderer. Delusions explores the nature of
evil both historically and personally, and conjours up the notion
that, subconsciously, we are all susceptible to darkness.
A guide to the making of Small Sacrifices, a student film that has
evolved to become something much bigger. Full of images and
insights, the director of the film takes you behind the scenes and
share the secrets to making a stop-motion epic of tiny proportions!
G Day is basically man's attempt to murder God for leaving the
world in such "dire" conditions. The team of assassins includes a
Harvard educated Cyclops; his assistant, composed of human
excrement, named UGH; a mysterious woman with a somber history of
sexual abuse name, None; A woman employed by the C.I.A., previously
a statue in a museum, named Ida; a scientist with a half omniscient
mind, name Dr. Sseus; twenty-seven past presidents; and Dr.
Pangloss the Programmer. God, not wanting to take any of the blame,
assigns the devil to assume his role during the tribulation, only
he must refer to himself as ("God") The misadventures that occur
only leave the world in an "utter mess" with absolutely no one in
charge and the most unexpected resolution of all.
