pessoa

To the attention of those sick of everything, and of the everythingness of everything, to the ironic dreamers and faithful charlatans and to those who have always felt like being on the verge of waking up.

the

monk's

bible

by

harold billings

Driven by constant Austrian depravations and the failure of crops in 1854, a young Bavarian minister-farmer decides to accept promotions by the Adelsverein to move his family up the Rhine to Bremen to sail for cheap American land - despite concerns that good family spirits cannot cross the ocean; that the superstitions and ruthlessness of the sea, its refusal to accept births and lives and burials, will challenge their trip. And the appearance of black spirits will challenge lives and souls after arrival in the wilderness of America. The Monk's Bible is a fantastic and colourful prequel to A Dead Church and a conclusion to it on a modern day.

 the curious case of jan torrentius and the followers of the rosy cross

Vol. I

by

brian howell

Having beem rescued from prison and torture in Haarlem, as of 1632 Torrentius is confined to a secret chamber in White Hall to be the King’s painter. He is not allowed to go out except at night and the early morning and must show a special pass to the guards. After making the acquaintance of a fellow Dutch painter one morning, Simon, he visits him and his wife, who reminds him of one of his many amours in Holland. Later, King Charles asks him to do a portrait of himself and his wife.
So begins a fascinating novel of history, magic and moral terror.
A grand oeuvre in the tradition of 
Leo Perutz.

a distillate of

heresy

by

damian

murphy

Coming in December, 2014 from
Ex Occidente Press and Zagava.

A document is missing from a chamber hidden deep within the heart of the embassy. We cannot hope to find it, but must seek it all the same. In our search for the unattainable, we come across a book containing 4 stories, keys for which there are no locks, unfathomable oracles beneath the icy stars.

The stories reveal images as perplexing as they are illuminating. A woman gains illicit access to a penthouse in the depth of winter and finds within its hidden recesses the keys to unspeakable mysteries. A ceremonial initiation is brutally interrupted, plunging the initiate into uncharted waters. The subtle alteration of a map affects a shift of boundaries, revealing forbidden permutations in the architecture of the invisible. A relic which resides in an impossible place finds expression in the dreams and memories of an enthusiast.

Our investigations will take us beneath the royal star in the heart of the scorpion, deep into occupied territory, and into the inexplicable topology of an old hotel. The narratives, like drops of poison, will threaten to corrupt the soul. But in corruption is found new life. In putrefaction, we hope to germinate a seed: the concentrated distillate of heresy.
