Exactly what the full title says it is! Rare these days, but true here. I found the reading of it consistent with other versions and interpretations I’ve read. Barnes is refreshingly open and up front about his motives and suggestions and where he sees the ideas here fitting into a larger spiritual landscape. Definitely recommend … Continue reading Marginalia #48
I’ve been a fan of Ghost Food since they started releasing music on Sweet Wreath. I fell in love with the Spearfinger project and last year’s Moon project. I felt a kinship in terms of themes and sounds, both visual and auditory, so I was both excited and nervous to get asked to improvise as … Continue reading New Video: Ghost Food at Exprov 18

This was a second or third time reread for me, but I’ve also used this as a reference for a few decades. I’m hoping to expand into the other volumes soon, which I’ve used for reference, but don’t think I’ve read cover-to-cover. I have always liked how Jones gets into the historical context and into specific … Continue reading Marginalia #47
I discovered Weirdpunk Books last year while writing for Horror DNA. Something about their aesthetics and themes resonates with me. Sometimes it reminds me of the high/low friction in early David Cronenberg films (for example, ontology meets body horror). I feel like they are fulfilling some of the promises of the Dell/Abyss line that started … Continue reading Marginalia #45
