The Star of Gnosia collects five hallucinatory narratives steeped in secrecy and transgression, complex rites and protocols, the delirium of the sleepless wanderer and the obsessions of the savant.
Ceremonial initiations, forgotten sacraments, inexplicable machines, and God-intoxicated exiles are brought together by duplicitous stratagems and infernal revelations in which the gates of the senses are ravaged by fires both sacerdotal and profane.
Contents:
The Imperishable Sacraments
The Apostatical Ascetic
A Perilous Ordeal
The Hour of the Minotaur
The Star of Gnosia
The final story in the book, "The Star of Gnosia", is a fairly long novella that has not been published elsewhere.
This hardcover just arrived in the mail and I am chuffed to read it!
ReplyDeleteVery good to hear. I was quite pleased with the interior image on the hardcover, which wasn't included in the paperback. I hope you like the book.
