"Wednesday, 24 August, 1932

During basic training, in 1914, a veteran of the campaigns in German East Africa gave his time voluntarily to teach us camouflage. He showed us how to use light and shadow, dawn, dusk and the heat of the sun, as masks to melt our bodies onto the gaps where dappled reflection blurs the eyes and confuses perception. He taught us how to cross a field, with only tussocks of grass for cover in full sight of the enemy. And the same principles apply to busy streets, where lamps and doorways are like trees and bushes. After Alois' experiences in the woods, I spent the morning teaching these skills to my group. They should be able to elude the blundering heifers of the Freikorps."

I am over the moon to announce to you today the debut novel of a formidable writer:

STONES BENEATH A WHITE STAR
Martin Locker

+

Following the break-up of a neo-Cathar commune in the Ariege, three friends feel the call back to that region to pay homage to their time together. Aspects of heretical theology, Gnosticism, nostalgia, memory, folklore and the mysticism of art are explored alongside the story of each character in their new lives as the call back to the Languedoc takes hold, culminating in an ecstatic and esoteric travelogue. Influenced by the works of Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller, Umberto Eco, Austin Osman Spare, Hermann Hesse, Donna Tartt and Otto Rahn.

+

A beautiful oversized hardcover edition of 200 +pages, with illustrated endpapers and various true duotone illustrations in full page.

One edition only. No further editions planned.

111 hand-numbered copies.

STONES BENEATH A WHITE STAR will be released together with SHARDS FROM THE STARRED FORTRESS, which is Martin's collection of texts and poems about the mystic and the ethos of the Pyrenees mountains. A gorgeously illustrated book. For lovers of nature, mountains, folk-lore and forgotten European traditions.

Something very special is coming soon in the Seances in the Grey Garden series.

The story of a Church and a curse. And the Devil.

THE PACT by Nameless. With stunning illustrations by Ben Harff. A German artist who has apparently taken the liberty of illustrating his own version of Tolkien’s Silmarillion.

This lovely, oversized hardcover is an accompanying volume for the newest NEGATIVE PLANE's LP, "The Pact...". (Ajna Offensive and Invictus Productions), which is without any shadow of doubt the finest metal album of this year so far.

Board design and book banderole design by Geticus Polus.
The inside of the book was designed by Annick Giroux of the cult heavy metal / doom band CAUCHEMAR.

Fourteen (14) copies of AND THE W***E IS THIS TEMPLE are now available again.

These are copies which were printed in 2016 but the sheets were never bound and never transformed into the proper book. There were supposed to be extra copies, reserved by my printing house.

Eleven (11) of these copies are already reserved for customers so only three (3) of them are available for sale right now.

Also, please keep in mind that all of these copies are not numbered; they are PC copies, signed and dated by one of the editors (me).

Thank you all.

+ CORFDRAGER or HOW HONEY FLOWED AGAINST CALVIN'S ARMY
+ THE JASMINE TEAR

CORFDRAGER is inspired by and lovingly dedicated to Sunno))).

If I were to include them in a hardcover, each story would cover at least 15-20 pages, while CORFDRAGER is almost a novella in size.

Printed on heavy, fine, textured paper of 190 gr.

Measures: 40 cm x 99 cm!

The three stories are printed on their own sheet and they are shipped rolled in a sturdy mailing tube.

PRISMS OF THE ONEIROI by Martin Locker comes at a moment when I thought there were really only a few things left to say in this Literature.

There is zero doubt about this: PRISMS OF THE ONEIROI is one of the most important collection of weird, folk and horror stories to appear in the last six-seven years. It is something else entirely.

Martin Locker holds a PhD in Medieval Archaeology and has been involved in excavations across Europe. He lives in Andorra and runs a research project called Perennial Pyrenees.

He is also the sole member of a very interesting field-recordings based, ambient, ethereal, dim, primitive black metal project called Pyre:Numen.

A few words about PRISMS OF THE ONEIROI:

+

Set against a backdrop of real and detailed locations, objects and senses, the unreal leeches through in the form of dreams and myth via the Prisms of Oneiroi. When seen through this strange lens we find that they take on peculiar forms that sway men one way or another into the realm of tragedy, creation and obsession. What is found here is an array of inner, secret worlds which burst out from the scaffold of folklore and geography.

+

TOP NOTES: Alpine grass, Maghreb dust, Parisian decay and Dutch honey.
HEART NOTES: Skewed folklore, old texts, ancient light, dry paint.
BASS NOTES: Time, oneiromancy, parallel villages.

+

A collection of stories and novellas for lovers of Stefan George, Mark Valentine, Colin Insole, Leo Perutz, Claudio Magris, Arthur Machen.

THE DANCE OF ABRAXAS

Doing tests for the triple dust-jacket of THE DANCE OF ABRAXAS by Benjamin Tweddell. Die-cuts, transparent papers, etc. In the clip attached, just a quick, rudimentary test before I let the printers do their magic. They will do the die-cuts and so on. You will love this book! “We had always worshipped nature, sought the intoxication of purity. Not so for Voigt. He may have preached Otto’s message of liberation, but he practised nothing but the most depraved seductions - the desecration of all which I held sacred in our community. Many, initially at Otto’s behest, attended his rites in the Casa Centrale. This was where we had marvelled at Mary’s breath-taking performances, where I wept as Ida Hofmann played Wagner’s music, such was its beauty. It had been the heart of Monte Verità, and now I witnessed there…abominations." The house at Monte Verita will open its doors soon.

Three new books!

Received from the printers a few minutes ago. Three new regular books. Tall hardcovers, with dust-jacket, cloth boards, illustrated endpapers, silk ribbon, etc. A very wayward travelogue of a Dandy, a Night Land, ghosts, abandoned courtyards and obscene mysteries at twilight. Three books for the benefit of mankind. A SUNDAY IN OURSEL AND OTHER TALES by Gerard Prevot (previously titled THE DEMON OF FEBRUARY) ORIENT AIR EXPRESS by Paul Morand (previously titled THE TRAVELS OF PRINCE DMITRI) THE ELEVEN THIEVES AND OTHER TALES FROM THE NIGHT LAND by Glynn Owen Barrass If you are an enthusiast of Jean Ray you will not want to miss Gerard Prevot's collection. En détail photos of each book will be posted soon. All the orders will be shipped next week, between 21 and 24 May.

A Spy in the Panopticon Box

A quick view of the box. Orders have been shipped today. The last batch of packages will go in the mail tomorrow morning. Thank you all!
