“The Songlines of History are strung upon the bones of the Dead…”
Announcing the next in our series of WhollyBooks occasional chapbooks: after ’The Sun At Midnight’, ‘Aleister Crowley & the Yi-King’ and ‘The Forgotten Agent’ & ‘The Magical Universe of William S Burroughs’, our next offering will be ‘Last Rites’ by Emma Doeve & Matthew Levi Stevens. Although in part drawing from pre-existing materials, ‘Last Rites’ was originally written starting 31st October 2011, and is the first collaborative text written by Emma & Matthew, weaving together their individual experiences, observations, and writing styles to develop something greater than the sum of its parts…
Part memoir, part memento mori, part meditation on funeral rites, loss, and remembrance.
In Memoriam:
Eppo Doeve (1907 – 1981)
Geff Rushton (1962 – 2004)
Peter Christopherson (1955 – 2010)

Available from Saturday 11th August 2012, a 24 page chapbook in a Limited Edition of 33 copies, Signed by the authors, complete with a postcard-size full-colour reproduction of the painting ‘Memento Mori’ by Emma Doeve.

With the help of our good friend Raoul V we have been recording his account of various experiences of the eerie and the uncanny, to go with real-life descriptions of haunted houses and psychic phenomena that will make up part of ‘Dreams In The Witch House’.
From his ‘A True Story’:
“It seemed partly solid. To me it seemed solid, but then I realised when you looked at it, you could see partly smoke – bubbling – and when it was coming out of the corner of the room, it obviously didn’t know where to go – it was like it was trying to sense where to go…”
