Bøker av David Tibet

A compilation of uncommon supernatural tales and bibliographic oddities edited by musician David Tibet.A third volume of supernatural tales and obscure texts that continues the series of chilling compilations edited by artist, writer, and musician David Tibet that began with The Moons At Your Door and There Is a Graveyard that Dwells In Man. Dark Indeed, Sorrel includes the first new story, and a selection of new poems, written by June-Alison Gibbons, author of The Pepsi Cola Addict, since the 1990s, and unpublished poems by her twin sister Jennifer. Longer texts include the anonymously-authored "The Autobiography Of A Schizophrenic" (1951), Theodore Frederick Poulson’s bizarre and hallucinatory ghost-story "The Flying Wig" (1948), the apocalyptic, visionary "A Description Of A Remarkable Vision, Seen By Thomas Webster, While Speaking Over A Corpse At The Grave's Side" (1798) text—accompanied by hand-coloured illustrations—and the early witchcraft / poltergeist account "Witchcraft At The Lamb Inn Bristol" (1800).Also included are stories by Miriam Bloch, Conall Cearnach, Arthur L Salmon, Rosaline Norton, Edgar Magnus Birnstingl, HW Bousfield and Wirt Gerrare, a previously unpublished play-fragment by Count Stenbock, and Coptic, Ugaritic, and Biblical Hebrew texts translated by David Tibet.

"He walked into the turbulent super market. There were people everywhere. His eyes swept over the shelves and stabilised on a large stack of Pepsi-colas. He could almost experience the cool fizzy liquid descending his parched throat." Written by June-Alison Gibbons when she was only 16, The Pepsi Cola Addict is considered one of the great works of twentieth-century outsider literature. More than just a literary curiosity, however, this tale of a teenager whose passion for a well-known cola drink threatens to ruin his life is the uniquely vivid expression of a young woman trying to make sense of the confusing, often brutal world in which she found herself. Published in 1982 by a vanity press who took 800 pounds from its young author and gave her only a single book in return, it's thought that fewer than ten original copies still exist in the world. Shortly after its publication, June-Alison and her sister Jennifer would become infamous as "The Silent Twins" and find themselves cruelly incarcerated for over a decade in Broadmoor Hospital. This author-approved edition makes June-Alison Gibbon's remarkable vision available for the first time."--Provided by publisher.
