Poetry for People from Other Planets — R’LYEH SUTRA
014 years ago
Martian Migraine Press is pleased to announce that an electronic edition of R’LYEH SUTRA by reclusive West Coast writer and spoken word artist skawt chonzz will soon be available. Originally limited to a run of 50 physical chapbooks from Martian Migraine Press and never to appear in print again, this very collectible collection of weird poetry, strange prose and Austin Spare-like artwork is sure to please those with a taste for the macabré and surreal.
Recalling Spicer and Burroughs, these are poems that explore the shifting, fractal edge of madness, that question the nature of identity, consciousness and language, and do it all with wry humour spliced with a species of alien sexuality. As the title implies, there is an obviously Lovecraftian occult inspiration to the work: in fact, the original, physical run of the book contained, in the form of an insert, a portion of a large hand-written document received in a brutal channeling session from an ultra-terrestrial entity, which chonzz experienced in the spring of 2011. Each copy is therefore utterly unique, a facet of a whole that perhaps should never be viewed in its entirety, and likely never will. This electronic edition seeks to replicate that reading experience with hidden links to previously unreleased segments of that occult document.
To be released (DRM-free and in multiple formats) in May 2012.
The Best Kind of Headache…
014 years ago
Hello, and welcome to Martian Migraine Press. We are an independent Canadian micro-press with a focus on the weird, unusual and occasionally transgressive. Fiction that plays with boundaries before ignoring them altogether; erotica with dark humour and a taste for the outré; young adult novels for the reader who needs a good dose of ideas with their adventure; and poetry for people from other planets. Martian Migraine books will be made available almost exclusively in e-reader format through the usual fine online retailers, although we will sometimes make forays into producing physical books and chapbooks in limited press runs. Mostly when we’re feeling nostalgic. And in these days of ridiculous temporal density, as Time itself begins to fold in at the edges, that nostalgia comes on like a migraine.

Thanks for joining us here and we hope you’ll check back for new releases throughout 2012. We’re fortunate to be working with some great new writers and are looking forward to presenting their creations to you.
