“Book Descriptions: In the terrifying confession that makes up Heqet, the new and hypnotic novel by Brendan Connell, an author whose name has become synonymous with contemporary Decadent literature, the reader is treated to pages of anguish and extravagance as they follow the delirium-strewn path of the protagonist Félix, a fatal and failed anti-hero like few others. Poisoning himself with designer drugs and alchemical wishes, he traverses Swiss and other European territories, tracing out tessellations of evil in his deliberations and visions.
Also included in this book is a selection of a dozen short, spectacular vignettes and tales under the heading “Ghosts”, nine of which have never before appeared elsewhere.
The table of contents is as follows:
HEQET GHOSTS Queen of the Iceni Moonlight Hidden Behind Clouds A Duologue The Abbey of the Heart Transmission to a Pelican The Sweet Princess Prized The Horse Shrine Record from a Magnetic Line The Organist Another Duologue Vision Seldom Penetrates Substance Monologue of a Maniac
The book is a lithographically printed, 160 page hardback with printed endpapers; limited to just 275 copies.” DRIVE
