The Narcissus Variations

I'm honored to announce the impending release of The Narcissus Variations on Mount Abraxas Press, a novella dedicated to the Kibbo Kift and to the fortuitous ambiguity of memory. 

A white rhinoceros, a resurrected king, a river that flows into the heart of night, the amassing of thrushes, the discharge of artillery, a rotating chamber replete with false doors, invisible signals, a cunning sentry, the manipulation of recording tape, an illustrious imposter, the wailing of torches, a desperate man trapped in a hallucinated boudoir—The Narcissus Variations weaves these disparate themes into a narrative thread tied in intricate knots to comprise a novella steeped in labyrinthine intrigues and startling revelations.

The Narcissus Variations can be purchased directly from the publisher by sending an inquiry to exoccidente@gmail.com, or pre-ordered from Ziesing Books in the US. 

Neo-Decadence: 12 Manifestos

I'm very happy to announce the impending release of Neo-Decadence: 12 Manifestos on Snuggly Books. My Manifesto of Neo-Decadent Occultism is included, along with several others (a couple of which I was honored to contribute to). 

The early 21st Century: a gilded age of pious guilt, poison nostalgia, environmental collapse, unchecked pandemics, corporate franchises, workshopped creativity and personal brands. Standing against the Neo-Passéist tide, Neo-Decadence presents a total reformulation of everyday life. What is the vertical table? Why is a sex helmet indispensable for all assignations? What is the proper spirit of electronic gaming? Covering fashion, cooking, architecture, occultism, poetry, gardening, and other areas of concern to all young people, the present volume is the ONLY resource for those wishing to shrug off the cerements of late capitalist literature and art. If you’ve ever wanted to proudly commit commercial suicide while serving your own head on a plate as an offering to your inner daemon, consult this collection of manifestos—as much a personal style guide as it is a declaration of uncompromising aesthetic war.
