“... I loved this charming little chapbook... lovely poetic prose, all quite Lovecraftian... delightful! I recommend it.” -- W H Pugmire, author of 'The Strange Dark One' and 'The Fungal Stain'

Originally limited to a run of 50 chapbooks, Martian Migraine Press is pleased to present this collection of the poetry, prose and artwork of reclusive West Coast writer and spoken word artist skawt chonzz as an electronic chapbook.

Recalling Spicer and Burroughs, these are poems that explore the shifting, fractal edge of madness, that question the nature of identity, consciousness and language, and do it all with wry humour spliced with a species of alien sexuality. As the title implies, there is an obviously Lovecraftian occult inspiration to the work: in fact, the original, physical run of the book contained, in the form of an insert, a portion of a large hand-written document received in a brutal channeling session from an ultra-terrestrial entity, which the author experienced in the spring of 2011. Each copy is therefore utterly unique, a facet of a whole that perhaps should never be viewed in its entirety, and likely never will. This electronic edition seeks to replicate that reading experience with hidden links to previously unreleased segments of that occult document, along with two full-page illustrated plates inspired by the artwork of Austin Osman Spare.
