The Star of Gnosia

Read Now Download Now
The Star of Gnosia collects five stories steeped in secrecy and transgression, complex rites and protocols, the delirium of the sleepless wanderer and the obsessions of the savant.

The Imperishable Sacraments follows a young woman into the precarious territory between lucid sleep and insomnia. She is henceforth drawn inexorably toward a house concealed by treacherous winds, there to partake of a sacrament forgotten to history and theology alike.

The Apostatical Ascetic explores the mystical dimensions of the pseudonymous writings of Fernando Pessoa. The flâneur, the exile, and the doppelgänger are among the figures that make their appearance in this hallucinatory narrative.

The disruption of a ceremonial initiation in occupied France begets a series of inexplicable events in A Perilous Ordeal.

A war journal, an oscilloscope, and a wooden block puzzle prepare the way to the uncharted hours of the night in The Hour of the Minotaur, in which a wounded soldier in a requisitioned chateau reveals the rites by which a fallen world may be reconciled with its source.

Three young siblings, in the title story, set their sights on the attainment of the highest gnosis. Their father being out of town, they’re left entirely to their own devices beneath the roof of their spacious manor. The gates of their senses are ravaged by fires sacerdotal and profane in this novella of infernal hymns, duplicitous stratagems, invisible liaisons, and intoxicating revelations.
