St. Augustine, FL: Mike Taylor, 2021. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine in Fine Dustjacket. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "It seems that the right wing has found its own brand of atomizing identity politic, its own purity test; yet unlike the online left, the academic left, the paralyzed left, the right has rallied behind its darkest angels. Every one of Q's predictions have failed to come to pass, but the seeds of doubt and mistrust it planted have bloomed a thousand rotten suns. The Anons are a living manifestation of the Fallacy of Misplaced Concreteness, wherein the vampire reified is a literal vampire. As fake and cynical as the Q myth has been from the start, we will live in new voting districts, we will install new representatives, and we will bend to cops and judges that are the direct result of a racist internet scam. Hobbled by a broken democracy and an intractable social web, where we go one, we go all." [Artist statement]. Taylor has a gift for exploring current socio/political events with… Read More

New York: Self-published, 2016. Limited Edition. As New. Limited Edition. David Stoupakis is a New York based dark surrealist artist. His work, inspired by fables, fairy tales and nostalgic allusions to the places and situations of his childhood, has always been focused on the evocation of dreamlike landscapes and psychologically complex characters often caught in the gloomy atmosphere of dramatic, apocalyptic scenarios. Damien Echols was one of three teenagers arrested and convicted for a widely publicized murder in West Memphis, Arkansas known as the "West Memphis Three" in 1993. He spent 18 years on death row and was released as part of an unusual plea deal, asserting their innocence with a guilty plea under the Alfrod plea. A series of three documentaries produced over a period of ten years, titled "Paradise Lost" chronicled the high profile case. Echols, now living in New York City, wrote extensively in prison, has since published several books and creates visual art both individually and… Read More

[Queer Pagans]: A blurb from editor Ian Scott Horst's bio: author, graphic artist, Santero--a priest of Obatala--in the Lucumi tradition of Santeria. My godparents are Asinya Bi (Omo Yemaya) and Ara Bi (Omo Obatala), and I was initiated in the Bronx in November of 1996. I live in Brooklyn in New York City, am gay, single, and a confirmed cat person. In the mid-1970s while attending the University of Chicago, and well, there's been a lot of water under the bridge since then but music has always been a great source of inspiration through thick and thin. Some of that water includes gay community and other political activism and cofounding and leading a group in NYC called Queer Pagans. I love history and lately am fascinated by the history of the French and Indian Wars in the eighteenth century, and the religious cult of Mao Zedong."--webaccessed 2023.… Read More
