Paradise for the Modern Mystic

This book is in the works as we speak. Silverton McCord has been combing the depths of his consciousness for as long as he can remember, and he’s finally writing down everything he knows. When it’s finished, it’ll be the personal handbook of anyone who’s even moderately interested in trodding the path of righteous and/or wearing pointy hats. Feel free to read some of the notes he’s made so far:

Unmarked: Anonymous Poetry

This is exactly what it sounds like. Norman has made it his personal project to collect as many poems as he can from various VIP members, and put them all in a book. Sometimes he finds them written on napkins, other times he looks through people’s notebooks, and other times he writes on a napkin and asks for a poem on the spot. There are sure to be more added as time goes by, for doth the clock ticks on with such sweet sorrow.

Pyramid Daze

This is a novella that Maddox is working on. She’s only three chapters in, but so far we love it. In it she imagines what it would be like if the brain was not merely a collection of neurons, but rather a society of tiny people; some of which work for big corporations; and all of which are at the mercy of a monarchical government known as The Personification. Aka, the personality of the body they are in.

The Violet Sunshine Silver Mine

As far as cups go, this isn't the holy grail. But as far as books go it is the diamond in the dust of our shelves. Everything we do here is a direct result of this. Much like our everyday lives, it's redundant, weird, confusing, and yet it has that thing they call the X factor.
