OUR LATEST TITLES

 A new collection of incredibly strange and puzzling - yet always delightful - fictions by Mr DF Lewis. Wonderful though they are to read, they are a devil to describe without resorting to odious comparisons. How about ‘like a paranoid conspiracy theorist of the wildest sort, who has discovered Oulipo’. In Mr Lewis’ stories, even the most mundane and familiar objects (eg ‘elbows’) can be transformed into otherworldly trappings that alternatingly amaze and alarm.  

 “Highly sophisticated and wonderfully nightmarish imagination, an expertly controlled and sardonic vision that reminds me as much of avant-gardists like William Burroughs as it does the best traditions of horror literature” (Thomas Ligotti in Dagon DFL Special)  

 With its blending of dark eroticism with ethical nihilism, Eugenie de Franval is arguably one of the Marquis de Sade’s most shocking stories.  The story is an unsettling philosophical experiment, a tale of sexual experimentation taken to its extreme. Sade’s protagonist, Monsieur de Franval, is an intelligent, affluent, and entirely amoral aristocrat. After he marries a devout woman and fathers a daughter, he takes it upon himself to educate his daughter Eugenie to be free in every sense of the word – spiritually, philosophically, morally, emotionally, socially and intimately.  When Franval demands that the beautiful Eugenie demonstrate her lessons, she becomes his secret lover. When the virtuous Madame de Franval becomes suspicious and confronts her husband, she sets off a chain of events that culminate in a series of tragic consequences.  

 A new collection by MichaelMcAloran "in an echo-drift of want in the expose the membrane wry steel turn of blood knocked from severance till the execution as if to dream hollow outright a cold shiv a breathe known the acid shock of ache acclimatise  warp as if to of in the expose in a gallery of expectancy where the flowing blood coagulates into an ocean of escaping colour/s the dread of having in the expectancy drag all closure no subtle light to expound upon." 

 In Unterzone, the equation Σ(LIFE + DEATH) = 0 functions as a foundational glyph—a recursive protocol inscribed across denizen interfaces, archival voids, and corrupted infrastructures. It encodes the principle of equilibrium through negation: every emergence (LIFE) is countered by a disappearance (DEATH), collapsing into zero. This zero is not absence but recursive potential, a site of reconfiguration. The glyph resists closure,  looping endlessly through system failure and speculative rebirth. It is both anti-notation and mythic checksum, verifying the Unterzone’s logic of collapse. To invoke it is to acknowledge that meaning spirals, never settles—always returning to the void that generates.

  In ‘Oddity O’Clock', Rhys Hughes invites you into a cheerfully off‑kilter world where measuring instruments wander the landscape on tiny legs, solving mysteries, dodging authority figures, and generally making a glorious muddle of things. Oddity O’Clock and the Knick Knack Irregulars may be made of gears and glass, but their adventures sparkle with warmth, whimsy, and the kind of surreal logic only Hughes can conjure.  

“Hughes is the Spike Jones of fantastika.”  —Paul di Filippo 

Part of the Knick Knack Trilogy

 These are reports from a world that doesn't work properly. A world where milk floats achieve their destiny, giant marmaladian gusset hounds knit for charity, and bedroom monsters politely attempt to return misplaced ribs. Part illustrated dream journal, part comedy, part accidental philosophy, this collection gathers together strange observations from somewhere just beyond the edge of common sense. The stories drift, wander, transform and occasionally explode into complete absurdity, accompanied by cartoons populated by creatures that seem simultaneously horrifying, ridiculous and oddly familiar. You may laugh. You may feel mildly disturbed. You may begin looking at your milkman differently. This is the world of Felix Subway 

A cast of strange and unforgettable figures: the rat-infested lover, the self-styled dominator in his concrete tomb, the junkie with angel hair and hollow eyes, the madman circling the streets, the gentle boy who slipped through time. From the trembling intimacy of a nursery tent to the grotesque rituals of the sexually charged and violent, Fox witnesses, survives, and records it all. A series of fleeting encounters unfolds across bedsits, streets, parks and forests - men who arrive charged with promise, curiosity, or need, and leave behind something stranger: disillusionment, tenderness, sometimes a trace of love. 

There's never any rest for the weary, especially when there are still characters like Poostinks (leader of Ruskieland) and the giant orange toddler Tumpytump around to stir up shit.  In this next hilarious chapter of the saga, Dookie finds himself 'invading' the North in hot pursuit of not just the escaped pussy grabber, Tumpytump, but also in efforts to clear his own name of murder!!!  Latest episode in the saga of Dookie by Tony Kearns

Welcome to Pocahontas County, West Virginia! 

All that matters is the energy you bring to the table… your demeanor, your ability to not care and not take anything personally… and fill up your glass however you can. Seems like everybody that ends up at Cheat Mountain has an empty glass to fill doesn’t it? Sometimes you have to empty someone else’s glass to fill your own, doncha? This is a story about cold spring water and corn from the pen of Kim Dallesandro.
