Un callejón es una calle corta, estrecha, en numerosas ocasiones sin salida, lo que llamamos un cul de sac y pobremente iluminada. Un lugar de paso que comunica, por lo general, dos calles mayores, con mayor tránsito humano y de vehículos, y con mejor iluminación.De día es oscuro y solitario, con esa tristeza que sólo adquieren los jardines privados y escondidos, con sus caminos cubiertos de hojas secas y quebradizas a finales del otoño. Pero la oscuridad nocturna eleva un grado esa sensación de pérdida y abandono, su aspecto adquiere tonalidades de innombrables pesadillas y los niños, intrépidos y aventureros, juegan a cruzarlo a la carrera, perseguidos por terrores atávicos e incomprensibles a la espera de ser sorprendidos, a mitad de su cabalgada a lomos de caballos tan poderosos como invisibles, por espantosas brujas esperpènticas y horrorosas, o por algún tenebroso trasgo o demonio, que adquiera forma física en alguno de sus recovecos y rincones más oscuros. Cuando acaban de cruzarlo resoplan, temblorosos y satisfechos, orgullosos de haber vencido al miedo y sonrientes por finalizar con bien la prueba. Una prueba que, con toda seguridad, repetirán la noche siguiente con un nuevo reto.

Borgâl ("Black Tongue") is the liturgical and magickal language used by members of our Black Brotherhood to invoke power and command the external world. With this language, our Order shall rename all things in this world, thus imposing our thought-forms upon it and thereby conquering it. Borgâl is also our secret tongue, used to identify other members of our kind and separate ourselves from the White Magicians and mundanes of this world. Those who choose to learn Borgâl are a self-selecting elite, founders of a new cult, heralds of a new order and propagators of a new black magickal regime. This manual is an introduction to Borgâl for Acolytes, Apprentices and lay followers of our Order. The words and concepts contained herein should be studied and mastered by using them in conversation with other Black Magicians, reciting the sayings and mantras described in this book (and others you create), and writing in the Hârzad script. Practice makes powerful! Note #1: Borgâl is not a complete language, but a partial work in progress. It is being revealed over time by myself, Dark Lord Ravuk and other Black Brothers, and is therefore subject to revision and expansion at any time. This Handbook is a first edition to get disciples started speaking, writing and thinking in the language of the Black Brotherhood. New editions will be forthcoming as more of the language is revealed. Note #2: To begin your initiation into the Order, submit the exercises contained in the last chapter of this book as described.

Moe Thibault is a lovable octogenarian who sometimes thinks he's Jacques Clouseau and who's convinced he once had an identical twin. While living out his widower's retirement in upstate New York, Moe is sent an obituary from Martha's Vineyard with a photo of his apparent Doppelganger, a man named Leroi Uxem. Could this have been his long-lost brother? However, the appearance of energy prospectors intent on setting up a fracking operation offers a threat to the Vineyard. As a Senior Richter Minister of the Church of Seismology, Moe considers fracking to be a sin against the Earth and God - a deity who Moe believes is called Yolanda. Accordingly, he begins a campaign to stop the frackers before they can make a shambles of the island. His associates include Mike Uxem and his wife Nicki, Moe's niece Velma Trailer, Artie Wetzo (a pal of Leroi's), and Larry Hitch, Moe's former business associate and the owner of a sex-obsessed monkey. Can they foil the frackers? Will Yolanda kick butt and take names like she did at Pompeii two millennia ago? If you like irreverent stories with zany characters, Uncle Moe and the Martha's Vineyard Frackers just might be for you.

After being arrested for trespassing on his ex-girlfriend's college campus, nineteen-year-old Shannon receives a restraining order, an inveterate attack of colic and an inexplicable phone call from the Voice whose seemingly impossible promise to reunite Shannon with his unrequited love plays on a potential-suicide's willingness to try anything. Uncertain of the Voice's motives, Shannon nonetheless follows its command to leave for Europe on Detroit's next redeye. There he finds himself immersed in a religious war whose violence demands from him participation that can't be redeemed via casuistry or self-defence and whose sanctions issue from gods old and incipient. Forced to operate in conjunction with the worst of two evils, Shannon and three fellow vassals must escort a severely disabled child to Vejer de la Frontera, Spain, if they're to see the Voice's promises materialize. Written with a poetic density reminiscent of Rilke and the concinnity of Cormac McCarthy, CANT soon departs from a traditional morality tale into an inverted bildungsroman in which an escalation of alcohol and opiate intake threatens to reave the Voice's proffered rewards of significance and Shannon's attrited memory of love. As their mercenary travail is degraded into otiose bloodletting each must maintain, lose, transcend or be transpierced by the ensiform hope on which he has balanced for perhaps too long.
