The Midnight Blade of Sonic Honey

"The neck that was once a wrist, choked on a wishbone made from a sliver of moonlight, which manifested itself as a seeing eye on the back of the hand that was just like a cheery fireplace on the back of a skull that became a house. Blue sapphire icicles were cried out of this synthetic eye, evoking the cold appearance of a dark witch who kept her animals in cages, who moved her freight elevators up, just like she went down on her dumb waiters, and who sliced off the heads of infidels expecting the interior of their bodies to be an emerald honeycomb of light that would weep strange songs."

The Midnight Blade of Sonic Honey is the pairing of a surrealist novel and an automatic text that were written nearly seven years apart but which tell the same story, albeit as complementary permutations of each other. Dripping with bile and centered within a gothic sensibility, this journey opens the reader's skull like a freshly cracked coconut.

With illustrations in black and white by Ribitch.

Meat Art & Surrealist Objects: a collection of oneiric mischief
.

Meat Art & Surrealist Objects is a photographic collection of playfully charged oneiric objects assembled from meat, seafood, vegetation and other mundane, household items.  Undeniably organic and ephemeral in nature, these objects share a common savagery and black humor (umor) that will provide many hours of fun and decadent viewing pleasure for the whole family.  Rotting brains, buzzing flies, profaned cunts, mannequin gloved hands, erotic cyborgs and of course, meat sculpture:  these are the stuff from which dreams (and nightmares) are made! Not intended for those with weak stomachs or prude dispositions.

With introductions by Bruno Jacobs and Dale Michael Houstman.  More than 60 full-sized, full-color photos.   Available in hardcover.  Suitable for children and adults of all ages.

102 pages,   8.5"x 11"

At the Threshold of Liquid Geology and other automatic tales
          This modern collection of surrealist prose-poems was inspired by the improvisational method of automatic writing, popularized by the International Surrealist Movement. From one brain to another without any literary rules or standards, the words in these automatic writings are not just words, but rays of subconscious illumination that peel away the various layers of the "civilized," western psyche, one by one.
          Full of bizarre transformations and dark, irrationally motivated patterns of erotic thought, these writings will seduce the reader into nothing less than a sublime overload and transgressive derangement of the senses. While a must-read for the poetically daring and the adventurous, this book is not recommended for those who seek peaceful numbness and safety!
