From Jordan Krall, author of BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE APOCALYPSE DONKEYS, comes a novel in the tradition of early J. G. Ballard, William Burroughs, and Barry Malzberg.   Exploring the concepts of personal and public tragedy, this is a book unlike anything Krall has written before: a collection of brief chapters in an infinite universe of physical and mental illness, urban destruction, and the cracks in society we fight to ignore.   "(Jordan Krall is) one of the best of the next generation of writers looking askance at modern life and able to chart its absurdities and its dangers. These new books of Krall's conjure up uncomfortable visions with a lucid and alienating gaze." - Jeff Vandermeer, author of FINCH and CITY OF SAINTS AND MADMEN   This is the last book in the series that began in FALSE MAGIC KINGDOM and continued in BAD ALCHEMY and THE GOG AND MAGOG BUSINESS.

HUMANITY IS THE DEVIL is a deconstructed nightmare mixing David Lynch and snuff movies. The plot revolves around a central character, Seth, who is set about a crusade against humanity which, for him, represents pure evil. Through random killings he and his cronies try to accelerate the end of the world, in order to provoke and defeat the Demiurge, the false God that is ruling the earth. As in Burroughs, logical language is replaced here with cut-scenes – sometimes to be taken literally – that plunge the reader into an extreme experience. Both incredibly morbid and enthralling, HITD is a masterpiece of moral darkness and existentialist reflection upon our comfortable religion and morals.

GORGONAEON, one in a proposed cycle of several books, is a fragmentary and hallucinogenic reading experience. Frequent shifts in time and perspective imbue this book with an atmosphere of paranoia and dread, but an optimistic and magical aura can be exhumed from Krall’s alchemical wordplay as well. The bizarre mages are poetically stitched to an odd narrative about mental and moral disintegration to create a curious doubling effect. Gorgonaeon is a challenging yet rewarding read that will appeal to fans of grotesque surrealism. PRAISE FOR JORDAN KRALL "Jordan Krall is one of the best of the next generation of writers looking askance at modern life and able to chart its absurdities and its dangers. His books conjure up uncomfortable visions with a lucid and alienating gaze." - Jeff Vandermeer, award-winning author of THE SOUTHERN REACH TRILOGY "A dark maze of the soul and mirror eyes that kill: horror at its mythological best.” Seb Doubinsky, Author of OMEGA GRAY and GOODBYE BABYLON

Gorgonaeon

"Keith watched a version of himself being dissected, the body parts being used along with those of Lincoln and Booth in order to make some sort of mechanized assassin-victim hybrid. It would spend eternity annihilating itself, finding new ways to explode, puncture and penetrate its own body parts." Moonshine smuggling in New Jersey unleashes a Civil War hangover of squid parts, car crashes, stove pipe hats, urethral insertion fetishism, and a hankering for pancakes. King Scratch, a nightmare from the mind that birthed Piecemeal June and Fistful of Feet. "With King Scratch Jordan Krall has delivered a unique and twisted tale that brilliantly exudes the limitless imagination of the author and, in my opinion, elevates Krall to the upper echelon of the Bizarro lit scene." Kevin Woods, director of Bath, Survival, and Wise Guys VS Zombies "Krall has quite a flair for outrage as an art form." Edward Lee, author of The Big Head, Goon and Brides of the Impaler

Judgment is at hand, and if the fate of his mother taught him anything, it’s that one mustn’t disappoint the Plague Doctor.
