I have brought together, in this work, many of the short stories and texts that have made me what I am and what I will be, and it gives an insight into my Spheres for those who wish to read what formed me.

It also comes with two new chapters, a final summing up of how the Reverse has changed gear since the book was first published and a new Chapter Zero entitled <em>Crime Calls For Night</em> where Keenan presents a daring argument that traces the transgressive urge that animates industrial culture all the way from Palaeolithic cave art through rock n roll and punk rock and up to contemporary noise music. <br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is an author and critic based in Glasgow Scotland. He has been a regular contributor to <em>The Wire</em> magazine for the past 20 years. From 2005 to 2015 he co-ran Volcanic Tongue, an online retailer and magazine dedicated to the enthused presentation of contemporary underground music.

Written over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.\r\n<br class=\"\" />Long out of print and with the first edition demanding serious money from collectors, this much-anticipated expanded edition comes completely redesigned, with many new and previously unseen photographs and ephemera. It also comes with two new chapters, a final summing up of how the Reverse has changed gear since the book was first published and a new Chapter Zero entitled <em>Crime Calls For Night</em> where Keenan presents a daring argument that traces the transgressive urge that animates industrial culture all the way from Palaeolithic cave art through rock n roll and punk rock and up to contemporary noise music. <br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is an author and critic based in Glasgow Scotland.

This compelling new example of the artist’s early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period’s lesser-known protagonists.\r\n\r\nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare’s cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle’s collections, and set about tracing the deck\'s provenance, its place in the artist’s oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy.\r\n\r\n<i>Lost Envoy</i> reproduces Austin Spare’s tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Sally O’Reilly and Gavin Semple.\r\n\r\n<em>Published by Strange Attractor Press in association with The Magic Circle, and supported by Arts Council England.

Written over a period of six years and first published in 2003, the book flits between John Balance and Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson of Coil’s original Threshold House in Chiswick and the old boys’ school they later moved to in Weston-super-Mare to Steven Stapleton of Nurse With Wound’s goat farm and visionary art environment in Cooloorta in Southern Ireland to the roof of a house in Muswell Hill where David Tibet of Current 93 receives a vision of Noddy crucified in the sky. From there it moves further back and faster; to eye witness accounts of early Whitehouse performances; to the formation of Throbbing Gristle and the birth of industrial music; to the last moments of the visionary painter Charles Sims; to Angus MacLise, ex-of the Velvet Underground, casting his poem Year as a work of elementary magic; to Shirley Collins, AE Housman and Denton Welch’s visions of England in eternity.\r\n<br class=\"\" />Long out of print and with the first edition demanding serious money from collectors, this much-anticipated expanded edition comes completely redesigned, with many new and previously unseen photographs and ephemera. It also comes with two new chapters, a final summing up of how the Reverse has changed gear since the book was first published and a new Chapter Zero entitled <em>Crime Calls For Night</em> where Keenan presents a daring argument that traces the transgressive urge that animates industrial culture all the way from Palaeolithic cave art through rock n roll and punk rock and up to contemporary noise music. <br class=\"\" /><strong>About the Author</strong>\r\nDavid Keenan is an author and critic based in Glasgow Scotland. He has been a regular contributor to <em>The Wire</em> magazine for the past 20 years. From 2005 to 2015 he co-ran Volcanic Tongue, an online retailer and magazine dedicated to the enthused presentation of contemporary underground music.

This compelling new example of the artist’s early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period’s lesser-known protagonists.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread1themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5517\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5517\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"604\" height=\"430\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare’s cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle’s collections, and set about tracing the deck\'s provenance, its place in the artist’s oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread2themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5551\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5551\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread2©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread2©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"594\" height=\"423\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<i>Lost Envoy</i> reproduces Austin Spare’s tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Sally O’Reilly and Gavin Semple.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread1themagiccircle3/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5549\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5549\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle3.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle3\" width=\"601\" height=\"428\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread13themagiccircle/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5529\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5529\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread13©TheMagicCircle.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread13©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"608\" height=\"433\" /></a>\r\n<h5><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread4themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5520\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5520\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread4©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread4©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"608\" height=\"433\" /></a></h5>\r\n<h5> All images copyright ©2016 Courtesy The Magic Circle &amp; Strange Attractor Press</h5>\r\n<p data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5tt7s\" data-offset-key=\"8jgfq-0-0\">The book is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio, with a cover incorporating the vibrant back colours of Spare’s cards, a period binding common to many of the volumes found in The Magic Circle library and a gold deboss of the artist’s autographic ‘bird-head’ motif, as discovered within the deck itself.

This compelling new example of the artist’s early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period’s lesser-known protagonists.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread1themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5517\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5517\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"604\" height=\"430\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare’s cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle’s collections, and set about tracing the deck\'s provenance, its place in the artist’s oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread2themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5551\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5551\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread2©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread2©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"594\" height=\"423\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<i>Lost Envoy</i> reproduces Austin Spare’s tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Sally O’Reilly and Gavin Semple.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread1themagiccircle3/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5549\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5549\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle3.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread1©TheMagicCircle3\" width=\"601\" height=\"428\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread13themagiccircle/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5529\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5529\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread13©TheMagicCircle.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread13©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"608\" height=\"433\" /></a>\r\n<h5><a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/lost-envoy/attachment/lostenvoy-spread4themagiccircle-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5520\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-5520\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/LostEnvoy.spread4©TheMagicCircle-1.jpg\" alt=\"LostEnvoy.spread4©TheMagicCircle\" width=\"608\" height=\"433\" /></a></h5>\r\n<h5> All images copyright ©2016 Courtesy The Magic Circle &amp; Strange Attractor Press</h5>\r\n<p data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"5tt7s\" data-offset-key=\"8jgfq-0-0\">The book is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio, with a cover incorporating the vibrant back colours of Spare’s cards, a period binding common to many of the volumes found in The Magic Circle library and a gold deboss of the artist’s autographic ‘bird-head’ motif, as discovered within the deck itself.

Here are clowns, skeletons, goblins, scarecrows, pumpkins, ghosts, devils, angels, myriad strange hybrid beasts and even what looks like an anachronistic extraterrestrial.\n\nSome of these images will make you smile; others, either through the costumes themselves, their settings or due to an accidental, intangible something in the composition or the image itself, provoke a delicious, involuntary chill, evoking an uncanniness sadly missing from today\'s mechanically-reproduced festivities.\n\nPerhaps the key difference to emerge from the Hallowe\'en depicted here and Hallowe\'en now is that, while there are similarities in the themes and masks on display, most of these costumes were made by the children who wore them, or by their families. Similarly the figures they depict were, with a few exceptions – is that a demonic Donald Duck lurking in there? – more likely to be drawn from the imagination, if admittedly a shared folk imagination, than from today\'s library of copyrighted film, television, or comic strip ghouls.\n\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2133 alignnone\" style=\"border: 0; margin: 8px;\" title=\"HA1\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/HA11.jpg\" alt=\"HA1\" width=\"450\" height=\"275\" />\n\n<a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0224089706?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=stranattra-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=0224089706\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Haunted Air</em></a>\'s ghost boys and girls are also revenants of a time when the horrors parading through your neighbourhood still maintained a dim spectral hold on reality, living on in the memories and superstitions of their parents and grandparents.

The vigil will take place under carefully controlled conditions and in total darkness.\n\nCombining authentic investigative procedures with subtle performative aspects, Vigil examines and subverts the roles of audience expectation, spectatorship and belief.\n\nSpaces for both nights are extremely limited so we advise <a href=\"http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/events/workshops/vigil-participatory-observation-and-field-work,1362,EV.html\" target=\"_blank\">reserving your position soon</a>.\n\nDownload the full <a href=\"ftp://cmakers_mark:0tt00tt0@www.strangeattractor.co.uk:21//pdf/vigilpr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Vigil PDF</a> (3MB)','Vigil press release','','inherit','closed','closed','','2063-revision-v1','','','2015-11-21 18:27:35','2015-11-21 18:27:35','',2063,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/2063-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5358,2,'2015-11-21 18:27:35','2015-11-21 18:27:35','<img class=\"alignleft alignnone\" style=\"border: 0; float: left; margin: 8px;\" title=\"Field Guide\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/fieldguide/fgcoversmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"278\" />\n\n<em>‘The media are stupid, narrow-minded, bigoted and boringly predictable.

A fragile voice sings in an unknown language over vapourous percussion, chittering synths and upwellings of abstract piano – sounds that are almost overwhelmingly alien and ethereal, strange and beautiful. A final cosmic churn spins us out into the silent void, ready to make the journey all over again.\n\n<em>Wounded Galaxies Tap at the Window</em> is a baroque, startling and endlessly surprising record that brims over with imagination and humour, restraint and grandeur. Ancient and modern, teeming with life, riven by decay, it\'s as fulfilling an album as I\'ve heard in some time, and the shape of remarkable things to come.\n\n<em>Cyclobe are Ossian Brown and Stephen Thrower, joined by Michael J. York, Cliff Stapleton, John Contreras and Thighpaulsandra. The album is currently available in a 180gram vinyl pressing of 1000 copies in black and white vinyl with beautiful cover art by visionary artist Fred Tomaselli.

From the press release:\n\n\'In these wide-ranging essays, Erik Davis explores the codes—spiritual, cultural, and embodied—that people use to escape the limitation of their lives and to enrich their experience of the world. These include Asian religious traditions and West African trickster gods, Western occult and esoteric lore, postmodern theory and psychedelic science, as well as festival scenes such as Goa trance and Burning Man (of which Davis is the best-known chronicler). Articles on media technology further explore themes Davis took up in his acclaimed book <em>Techgnosis</em>, while his profiles of West Coast poets, musicians, and mystics extend the California terrain he previously mapped in <em>The Visionary State</em>.\n\nWhether his subject is collage art or the “magickal realism” of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, transvestite Burmese spirit mediums or Ufology, tripster king Terence McKenna or dub maestro Lee Perry, Davis writes with keen yet skeptical sympathy, intellectual subtlety and wit, and unbridled curiosity....  Davis wanders with sharp eyes and an open mind, which is why Peter Lamborn Wilson calls him “the best of all guides to modern American spirituality.”\'\n\nBuy it from your local book shop, or via Amazon <a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1891241540?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=stranattra-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=19450&amp;creativeASIN=1891241540\" target=\"_blank\">UK</a> / <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1891241540?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=mirmen-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1891241540\" target=\"_blank\">USA</a>','Erik Davis&#039;

This long-awaited biography charts the rise and fall and rise again of British art\'s darkest star. He was the <em>enfant terrible</em> of the Edwardian art scene, but by the time of his death in 1956 he was living in squalor and all but forgotten. What happened? Fascinated with mysticism and spiritualism from an early age, Spare practiced automatic drawing before the Surrealists and developed a unique system of magic. By the 1930s Spare had retreated from fashionable society, living out the second half of his life in poverty and obscurity, but he never stopped working. Holding shows in pubs, he painted local Londoners and film stars from fan magazines, as well as weirder, more personal visions. And as Spare the artist went underground, so the myth of Spare the magus began to grow... Illustrated with colour plates and b/w images, <em>Austin Osman Spare</em> will initially be published in a reasonably-priced collector\'s hardback edition in late October.\n\n<em><strong>The End: An Electric Sheep Anthology</strong></em><em> – </em>SAP is thrilled to be publishing the first book from the team behind the celebrated Electric Sheep magazine. Taking ‘The End’ as its theme, this new anthology includes essays on the bad endings of bad girls, low-end sounds in Lynch’s films, personal and collective apocalypse in Ingmar Bergman’s work, the ending of road movies, French master Henri-Georges Clouzot’s unfinished masterpiece <em>Inferno</em>, a graphic piece on <em>The Night of the Living Dead</em> and an image-based recollection of <em>Decasia</em>. The fascinating world of Nollywood is investigated through an essay on the controversial film <em>End of the Wicked</em>, which deals with animism and occult practices. Japanese <em>enfant terrible</em> Kôji Wakamatsu, nihilistic director of some of the most sexually and politically charged films of 60s Japan, gives a rare interview. Rounding it all up, emerging and established filmmakers comment on an end shot of their choice.

They are richly endowed with nerve cells: an octopus has 300 million or more neurons, about half in its cerebral ganglia, and the rest distributed among its tentacles. I like cephalopods because they are so removed from us and yet, in some fundamental ways, so like us. They are my favorite aliens.</em>\n\n<em>...if we were in charge, June would be National Cephalopod Month...We\'re not quite sure how many humans are on the planet these days, but there are even more squid.  Just sayin...\'</em>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.oliversacks.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Oliver Sacks.com</a> via <a href=\"http://mikejay.net\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Jay</a>\n\n<span>\n</span>','The Squid Doctor','','inherit','closed','closed','','1956-revision-v1','','','2015-11-21 18:38:49','2015-11-21 18:38:49','',1956,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/1956-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5387,2,'2015-11-21 18:38:55','2015-11-21 18:38:55','<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1951\" style=\"vertical-align: top; border: 0; margin: 8px;\" title=\"181127-radio-ghost-mystery-at-former-raf-station-410x230\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/181127-radio-ghost-mystery-at-former-raf-station-410x230.jpg\" alt=\"181127-radio-ghost-mystery-at-former-raf-station-410x230\" width=\"410\" height=\"230\" /></p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\"><span style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\"><em>A 70-year-old radio at a Scottish heritage centre has been picking up vintage broadcasts featuring Winston Churchill and the music of Glen Miller.</em></span></p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\"><em>The Pye valve wireless at Montrose Air Station, a heritage centre that tells the story of the men and women who served there, has no power and is not connected to any source of electricity. The vintage radio set is kept in a recreation of a 1940s room.

His sad destiny was to fall out with almost all of them, as each failed to live up to his strange and antique standards, feeding his paranoiac conviction that he was surrounded by scheming and ill-intentioned enemies.\r\n\r\n<em>Raven</em> rescues from history a number of men and women who lived a century ago.  A scrawny conman who convinced the English newspaper-reading public that he was the nation’s athletics champion.  A lonely old Italian duchess living out her last days in a palace on Lake Nemi.  A respected librarian secretly casting the horoscopes of world celebrities.  An American businessman who ruined his entire family overnight.\r\n\r\nRobert Scoble has drawn on his three decades of research in hitherto undisturbed library archives and troves of family letters to produce these essays in microhistory. He shows how these lives intersected in the story of a great eccentric who assumed the bogus title ‘Baron Corvo’ and spent his final years scandalising pre-war Venice.\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Author Robert Scoble is always interested to hear from his readers.  His email address is </span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"line-height: 27px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">robscob[at]outlook.com</span></span></span></em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Raven: The Turbulent World of Baron Corvo','424pp, 210mm x 148mm\r\nHB, £25\r\nISBN: 978-1-907222-238','inherit','closed','closed','','4701-revision-v1','','','2015-11-23 16:21:11','2015-11-23 16:21:11','',4701,'http://strangeattractor.co.uk/news/4701-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(5395,2,'2016-05-23 09:59:58','2016-05-23 09:59:58','<em><strong>\nThe Fiendish World of Sax Rohmer<img class=\"wp-image-5274 alignright\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/LOSDWEB.jpg\" alt=\"LOSDWEB\" width=\"284\" height=\"401\" />\n</strong></em><strong>Edited by Phil Baker &amp; Antony Clayton</strong><strong>\n</strong><strong>Sewn HB 400pp, 8pp colour plates\n£25 +p&amp;p\n</strong><strong>210mm x 148mm,\n</strong><strong>ISBN: 978-1-907222-25-2</strong>\n\n<strong>500 copies, available now, only from Strange Attractor Press.</strong>\n\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/lord-of-strange-deaths/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">BUY HERE</span></strong></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"paypal\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_s-xclick\" />\n<input name=\"hosted_button_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"7YZWJ8GJU2GUN\" />\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><input name=\"on0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"Postal Region\" />Postal Region</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><select name=\"os0\">\n<option value=\"UK\">UK £30.00 GBP</option>\n<option value=\"EU\">EU £35.00 GBP</option>\n<option value=\"ROW (inc USA)\">ROW (inc USA) £40.00 GBP</option>\n</select></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<input name=\"currency_code\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"GBP\" />\n<input alt=\"PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" />\n<img style=\"display: none !important; visibility: hidden !important; opacity: 0 !important; background-position: 1px 1px;\" src=\"https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" border=\"0\" />\n\n</form>\"Luminous with detail… (an) enchantingly playful collection of essays.\' <em>The Spectator.</em>\n\nForever associated with his creation of evil genius Dr Fu Manchu, a Chinese super-criminal scheming to destroy Western civilisation, Sax Rohmer (1883-1959) was the king of pulp exotica.

It has been hailed as the blueprint for the next step in human evolution, denounced as a tragic example of the dangers of drug experimentation, and retold endlessly as an irresistible anecdote of high craziness. It has become the <em>ne plus ultra</em> of consciousness expansion, the extreme high water mark of the psychedelic sixties.\"<em>\r\n</em><strong>From the introduction by Mike Jay.</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>What this book, I hope, will do is give an answer to the question why do people want to take drugs, as they always have throughout history</em>\r\n\r\nA heavily expanded edition of Joe Mellen\'s legendary, long out-of-print auto-trepanation memoir, <em>Bore Hole </em>takes us deep into the dawning of the UK\'s psychedelic counter culture, and into a mind breaking free from the confines of a traditional English upbringing.\r\n\r\nTravelling to Morocco and Ibiza, then back to the first spring of swinging London, Joe Mellen discovers the pleasures of hashish, is captivated by the visionary intensity of LSD and, after meeting the Dutch psychedelic guru Bart Huges, attempts the ultimate head trip, the bore hole.\r\n\r\nAs well as a selection of unseen archive photographs, this edition includes a new postscript, essays, appendices and a 1967 interview with Bart Huges.\r\n\r\n<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"

This compelling new example of the artist’s early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period’s lesser-known protagonists.\r\n\r\nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare’s cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle’s collections, and set about tracing the deck\'s provenance, its place in the artist’s oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy.\r\n\r\n<i>Lost Envoy</i> reproduces Austin Spare’s tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Sally O’Reilly and Gavin Semple.\r\n\r\n<em>Published by Strange Attractor Press in association with The Magic Circle, and supported by Arts Council England.

They had partial images of skeletons on them, could be played like gramophone records and were called ‘bones\' or \'ribs\'.  They contained forbidden music.\r\n\r\nIn the cold war era, the Soviet recording industry and permissible musical repertoire were ruthlessly controlled by the State. But a secret and risky subculture of bootleg recordings arose.

I am the eighth wonder of the world!\"</em>\r\n\r\nDuring the mid-1930s, British and overseas newspapers were full of incredible stories about Gef, a ‘talking mongoose’ or ‘man-weasel’ who had allegedly appeared in the home of the Irvings, a farming family in a remote district of the Isle of Man.\r\n\r\nThe creature was said to have the ability to talk in several languages, to sing, to steal objects from nearby farms and to eavesdrop on local people, such that they became uneasy at the farmer’s seeming ability to be able to tell them their most private goings-on.\r\n\r\nDespite written reports, magazine articles and books, several photographs, fur samples and paw prints, voluminous correspondence and signed witness statements, there is still no consensus as to what was really happening to the Irving family.\r\n\r\nHoax? Mental illness? A poltergeist? The possession of an animal by an evil spirit? Now you can read all the evidence and decide for yourself.\r\n\r\nSeven years’ research and interviews, photographs (many previously unseen), interviews with surviving witnesses, visits to the site – all are presented here in this new book, the first examination of the case for 70 years.\r\n\r\n<em>\"If you knew what I know, you\'d know a hell of a lot!\"</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://strangeattractor.greedbag.com/buy/gef/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER FROM OUR WEBSHOP</span></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>About the author:</strong>\r\n\r\nChristopher Josiffe is a regular contributor to <em>Fortean Times</em> and has also been published in <em>Faunus</em>, <em>Abraxas </em>and <em>The Pomegranate.</em> He has presented lectures at (amongst others) the Ghost Club, the Society for Psychical Research, Senate House (University of London), Alchemical Landscape II (University of Cambridge), the London Fortean Society, and the Fortean Times Unconvention.','Gef!

They had partial images of skeletons on them, could be played like gramophone records and were called ‘bones\' or \'ribs\'.  They contained forbidden music.\r\n\r\nIn the cold war era, the Soviet recording industry and permissible musical repertoire were ruthlessly controlled by the State. But a secret and risky subculture of bootleg recordings arose. Incredibly, bootleggers built homemade recording machines and found an extraordinary way to copy banned gramophone records – they used X-Rays clandestinely obtained from hospitals.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/x-ray-audio-book/attachment/xrayflexi/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5414\"><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5414\" src=\"http://strangeattractor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/xrayflexi.jpg\" alt=\"xrayflexi\" width=\"329\" height=\"302\" /></a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><i>X-Ray Audio: The Strange Story of Soviet Music on the Bone</i> tells the secret history of these ghostly records and of the people who made, bought and sold them.  Lavishly illustrated with images of discs collected in Russia, it is a unique story of forbidden culture, bootleg technology and human endeavour.

This compelling new example of the artist’s early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period’s lesser-known protagonists.\r\n\r\nMagic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare’s cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle’s collections, and set about tracing the deck\'s provenance, its place in the artist’s oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy.\r\n\r\n<i>Lost Envoy</i> reproduces Austin Spare’s tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O’Neill, Sally O’Reilly and Gavin Semple.\r\n\r\n<em>Published by Strange Attractor Press in association with The Magic Circle, and supported by Arts Council England.
