Formed from memories of dreams of memories, Snail is journey of life, introspection, and familial
connectitude. Its seven interconnected stories are bonded by mood, plot, a single set of characters, and
heart felt emotion; yet separated in a very dream like fashion by time, space, and logic of reality.
Beautifully adorned by the artworks of Irene Frenkel, this book is not simply a work to be read and
considered, it is a texturized and exhilarating cosmic dance for all the senses.
A spy, who while observing Kettleday, reflects on a series of fanatic coincidences that take place on
several planets...
The first second after midnight. Bartholomew’s conclusion was that the accumulative effect of his
thoughts was much too vague. He needed to focus more. After a recent serious illness, focusing on his
lack of focus was the only thing he really could focus on; or so it would seem.
Between the hollow walls of a putrefying high-rise building, the twitching mandibles of masticating
parasites become the avatar of transmogrification. The pheromone-heavy stink of their silent
conversation heralds the coming of The Grubby End --
A contemporary first from next wave surrealist Jase Daniels, this metaphysical foray into the swamps of
Grot is an all image novel drawn directly from the artist’s word-free mind…
Beneath the chaos that enwraps our world there exist profound fragments of beauty; like the lotus -
which rises through the murky depths. For Duane Locke, the prolific guru/professor of metaphysical
poetry, these hidden treasures have become the most essential elements of his work. With Yang Chu’
s Poems, hundreds of his most meaningful yet enigmatic writings are presented to you in what is truly
a grand opus of modern Zen meanderings.
Deceptively simple on the surface, delicately complex throughout the subtext ~ Vital Fluid masterfully
merges two parallel story lines distanced by time and culture in this satiric alternate history / modern
fantasy exploration. Two rival hypnotists are pitted against each other in an increasingly bizarre series of
performances across an absurdly chaotic America; while, woven in like fine silk, a pair of Victorian era
mesmerists match mystical wits before the intolerant and intolerable European Bourgeoisie.
After having learned of his wife's affair with Thad Johnstone, professor and novelist, a wealthy sadist
seeks revenge. Since he already has everything except the ability "to create," for retribution he wants
to extract a novel from Thad's mind. Buried up to his neck in the sand of a secluded beach with a
microphone placed before his exposed head, Thad is forced to dictate a manuscript. But it is much more
than the act of adultery that has provoked such vengeful hatred — it is the professor's being Jewish.
Awakened by a millennium old cybernetic ghost, aboard a vessel bound for nowhere and light-years
from home… his questions abound. Guided through thirteen galaxies to answer thirteen ancestral riddles
— each one a key to open a passageway to the holds of his mind —- eventually he again starts to
realize his self.
This devilishly dark and humorous satire carves the tale of three greedy business men who, after a tragic
plane accident, are doomed to spend eternity as death insurance sellers for the most corrupt of all
corporations, Hell. After they break down their fiery cubicle walls and ultimately make their escape they
find themselves thrown full circle to a place only slightly more comfortable than the previous surrounds…
A picaresque movement in a nameless city. An America engaged in a propaganda-war, determined to
clog drug-flow from the Netherlands and the rubble of a broken city on the opposite shore of the Atlantic.
The youth who dream in the face of nightmares, who explore themselves with chemicals with sad paint
with jail cells with institutions with a belief in something bigger than the flesh that holds them and strong
to the constant symphony of junky poetics, melancholy.
Hair is sprouting in unspeakable places and you can no longer carry a tune, but if you're a surrealistic
artiste with an addiction to Freudian mythology and guilt free sex, turning into a monkey has its upsides.
MARVELLOUS HAIRY is a satirical novel about a group of friends sticking it to the man the only way they
know how, with equal parts grain alcohol and applied Chaos Theory.
Reflections on Illness, Death and the Eternal Present

Tomorrow is yesterday’s full-moon with the glow of a pregnant woman.
If I cried long enough, I might break into laughter.
We’re demons playing hide-and-seek on a stage that stands on the turtle’s back.
The Smoke, intelligent fog, fun house mirrors, death house aesthetics, a city lit from within and a city of
living houses. Riddles and enigmas. What was that language, where is its key? City webworks for
instant travel by elevator or magic bus. People who are you and me only fictional. Elf clubs burrowed
snug in the friendly earth and nightclubs whose floor show is literally murder. Red and blue water on
tap. Dream or real? You or me?
