The Angelhaunt Library                                







The Books of Angelhaunt
Volume I


Cabeza de Vaca
(An utterly insane account of conquistador Alvar Cabeza de Vaca's exploration of the New World in the sixteenth century . . . which has about as little to do with what I just said as possible.)

A Lone Brain Locked in a Small Apartment
(This one is about a paranoid loser living in a filthy little hole, who cannot stop writing things that either: A, mean something utterly incomprehensible, or B, mean nothing at all.)

Constellations
(Basically something that you will enjoy if you don't think a novel has to make any sort of sense.)

The American Revelation Dictionary
(You are guaranteed to shake your head in the middle of this one and say, "What in hell?")



The Books of Angelhaunt
Volume II


Portraits
(Ruminations about characters from the Bible. Check out the one on Lazarus if you want to see schizophrenic rambling in top form. I like the one on Abraham too. This is some crazy shit.)

Ahab in Three Acts
(Okay, now this is getting weird. Just how in the world did I go on and on like this? It boggles the mind.)

The Dream Project
(Well, at least this one eventually gets a few characters. Am I mellowing out here? Oh well, I'm still so stunned that I actually wrote Ahab above that this seems tame compared. Sort of.)

Legal Impossibility
If you could imagine a schizophrenic philosophy student in his late 20s, who reads dozens of books a year in intellectual, social and artistic arenas, writing out the structure of a cosmology revealed to him more than a decade earlier on LSD, this is what you'd get. Wait a minute, that's exactly what happened.)



(Well, I've only got posted Angelhaunt Volume II now. FYI, there is a Volume I, but you'll have to buy it to read it. I was just tired of people googling me and coming up with that shit. It's very obscene/offensive/violent, and, again, I was tired of people googling me and seeing that stuff right off the bat. Besides which, Volume II is a lot better. By far.)

*Angelhaunt.net Blog*

I think it's time for a moment of silence for the demise of Absinthe Literary Review. It was probably my greatest success to have both Angelhaunt volumes reviewed by this e-zine. Not to mention that they published two of my reviews of other books. But the sad story is that this great zine had a 2006 issue posted for about two years; then, the other day, they let their domain expire. It's really too bad--this was a great little e-zine that published daring stuff that most of the conservative zines wouldn't touch. Oh well. I don't know what went on there or why they gave up the project. It's really a shame that the e-zine died.

Here is a forum I really like, Eastvillagepoetry.com. It is about the most free forum you can find. Libs and Conservs alike are welcome; we have all sorts. It gets an amazing volume of posts. Stop on by if you feel like it. Just click on The Wall of Living Graffiti when you get there to get to the forum proper. No threads, just pure insanity.

*Angelhaunt.net endorses Barack Obama for President of the United States*

Bottom line, he didn't vote for the Iraq war, and will end it. It's time to get a non-WASP in office too. Nuff said.








*Statement Concerning the Angelhaunt "Religion"*

Previously disclaimers like the following did not seem necessary, but I have received some mail recently which made me realize that perhaps some people are misreading the intent of the Angelhaunt books; so I thought I'd explain what is the Angelhaunt "religion" below.

As regards the Angelhaunt religion, it does not exist. It is a sort of benevolent cult in the world of the Angelhaunt books; but it does not exist except in fiction, nor is it intended to. If it ever were to exist as a religion, it would be a false religion; I am sure it would not have the benefits of mainstream religion, while it would have a whole lot wrong with it, not the least being that its life-after-death scheme and cosmology is probably totally false. Futhermore, I have no desire to have my books turn out like the Book of Mormon or Dianetics; my books are prose poetry, and to read them as anything else would seriously detract from their value as art. I am not a very religious person myself, but I have enough fear of God in me to avoid being a blind leader of the blind, what with all the millstone necklaces and such (to use a Gospel reference).
