Description
An interactive grimoire devoted to the sundry incarnations of a self-beheading mantis-LIBER EXUVIA-provides a shadow of insight into its author by way of past life regressions and encrypted charms. What was once crudely printed and mass-mailed to random households all across the globe-Elytron Frass' confrontational novella is now bound, barcoded, and available to any daring reader.
About the Author
Liber Exuvia presents a hypnotic flow of morbid visions of violence and sexuality that sometimes read like Comte De Lautreamont, sometimes like 80s horror cult classics, and, most curiously, often like beautiful lyrical poems, in which the poet is not 'man speaking to men' but a conjurer of ghosts. - Johannes Göransson "Reading Frass's work is the taking-in of a great breath and holding it, stretching it to every seam, hallucinating as you beg for air, and falling into a gentle death-lull of captivation. You will travel to another world, many of them. You will leave your body with this book in your hands. You will weep for history, weep for bodies, weep for your planet in the grand scheme of existence. What beauty and terror is conjured here with such absolute innovation of language and form! Frass tells stories, but does so from the inside out, from a dream within a dream, planting you right in the center so you can walk your way out. It is what writing should do." - Lisa Marie Basile "Erotic in the most organic and tangible ways, Frass manages to elicit such vicious imagery in so few words." - Tina Lugo
