​
The Majesty of Judas (The Book of Lily)​
​
Have you ever been told that Jesus and Judas were twin brothers?​
​
The majesty of JUDAS reveals the untold story of the real Judas Iscariot.
​
As the book opens we see Jesus, Judas, and Mary Magdalen who are gathering in protecting a group that escaped slave children known simply as The People.
​
Mary Magdalene is the real power behind the group. she seeks the destruction of the current world, with its brutality and exploitation and injustice.
​
This work re-imagines and re-tells the central narrative of western scripture, focussing on the loving but eventually tragic dynamic between Judas, his twin brother Jesus, and Mary Magdalene.
​
Eventually it falls to Judas to make an act of courage and sacrifice if the world is to be saved.​
​
In the end Judas succeeds, but despite his great love and great loyalty he becomes "the most slandered son of the world, the self-hanged God so viciously accused for the latter part of history."
​
Extended Synopsis
​
The book takes as its point of departure the Muslim belief (Quran 4:157) that Jesus was never crucified, that somebody else was made to resemble him in order to save Jesus from the cross.
​
This particular retelling imagines that:
​
Jesus and Judas were twin brothers, with different strengths and weaknesses but having great love and loyalty towards one another.
​
Mary Magdalene was a Woman of Power, who nurtured and protected the twins as she fomented a Slave Revolt against Rome.
​
The plans of Mary Magdalene ended up in tatters, and Judas was called upon to save his brother from the Romans and also to save the world.
​
Judas had the courage and the loyalty to allow himself to be taken by the Romans, to be scourged and brutalised and crucified.
​
Judas should be called Conqueror instead of Betrayer, and his true names include The Risen Sun, the Light of the World, the Unsung Hero and the Lion of Judah.
​
So this becomes the story of Brave Judas Iscariot, the most slandered son of the world, the self-hanged God so viciously accused for the latter part of history.
​
Characters
These variations on scripture allow familiar characters to be re-examined and redeemed.
​
Jesus is made warmer and more sympathetic. He is acknowledged as The Word, but his words are profoundly concerned with love—love on a genuine human level, going between individual people to meet their simple needs. This makes him more relatable and admirable than the scriptural Jesus, although he suffers from similar flaws that help drive the tragedy of the narrative.
​
Mary Magdalene is not the prostitute she is wrongly presumed to be. Neither is she the woman with seven demons who must rely upon Jesus to cure her. Instead she is a Woman of Power, the greatest of the Sisterhood of Lupa, with savagery and strength beyond anything her sisters can comprehend. She lusts for the literal end of the world and for union with her beloved Jesus, but her grasping at these things slates the entire world for ruin.
​
Judas Iscariot is the undisputed hero of the story, redeemed from the slander cast against him for the last two thousand years. He is no longer the Swindler, the Kiss of Death, the Strange Fruit of a Wretched Tree. Instead he is revealed as a Conquering King and the Lion of Judah, whose suffering is our best symbol of the depth and constancy of love.
​
Lily is the only character who needs introduction. The Sealed Prophet and the Lily of Testimony, also called Ruth and eventually Shoshana. She is a person previously unknown to scripture who becomes increasingly central to the work, especially as protector and supporter of Judas as he goes out to make his sacrifice.
​
Themes
​
The Majesty of Judas re-imagines and re-tells the central narrative of Western scripture, focusing on the loving but eventually tragic dynamic between Judas, his twin brother Jesus, and Mary Magdalene.
​
The twist in the story agrees with Muslim scholars who say that Jesus was never crucified, that someone else was made to look like him so that Jesus would be saved from the cross. Many Muslims also believe that it was Judas Iscariot who went to die in Jesus’ place.
​
The work is simultaneously reverent, radical, sensual, and tragic. Each one of the main characters is squarely heroic and yet also fundamentally flawed, as this One Splendid Chance at a New World is squandered amidst tears and the wreckage of broken vows.​
​
From a thematic point of view, the work is squarely in the territory of New Scripture, and is perhaps the clearest example of Hypnogogic (Hyp) Prose that currently exists.
​
The book is also a great example of the genre described (or predicted?) by David Foster Wallace as New Sincerity: combining a full literary aesthetic with a completely full emotional effect. The aim is to erase the schism between literary fiction and YA fiction, and then to elevate what should always have just been called literature to the emotional and verbal power of scripture—which of course is really just a synonym for the word writing.
​
I remain convinced that the religious narratives of the world are faulty narratives, leading as they inevitably do towards hatred and bloodshed. That we need to do better if the world is to be redeemed in any meaningful sense. And that this is an extremely urgent project, which ironically would redeem literature just as surely as it would save the world.
​
The only thing any religion has—the only thing a religion is—is a story. And to redeem or replace any current false religion you must produce a better story than they currently have. Even if that is just an alternative Gospel re-telling. That makes it a simple project, albeit a very demanding one.
​
Although this seminal work is freestanding, it can also be read as a prequel to From the Chronicles of Lupa. Mary Magdalene appears as a character in Lupa, shrunk to being some kind of wraith after living in her grief for 2000 years. Lily also makes a suggested appearance as Lilith of the Last Day, and perhaps also as an unnamed benefactor who appears to Jesse in his extremity—with her hair like sheaves of wheat, baptising Jesse in her love which is called the Waters of Mercy and is also the Light of the World.
Lightbringer
​
Lightbringer is a modern fable about courage, sacrifice, and the redemptive power of Love.​
​
As Winstanley Jones is born his mother dies from the injuries of birth, and his father also passes on that same bitter night. He is sent to live with his grandparents, where there is little love to go around.
​
Despite his straitened emotional circumstances Winnie maintains his own ability to love, manifest in his simple kindness and generosity, and his extraordinary, outlandish bravery in the protection of other people.
​
As a young man Winnie finds a particular focus for his love in a shy girl named Isabelle. She is already engaged but still Winnie writes her sad sweet letters about the nature of love.
​
Winnie's love for Isabelle eventually brings him into a deadly confrontation with an adversary who has hunted him for the whole of his life.
​
Extended Synopsis​
​
Winstanley Jones is born in tragedy — his mother dies during his birth and his father passes the same night in even more tragic circumstances "although it is only on a narrow view that his death could be said to be the work of his own hands."
Winnie is raised by his grandparents who despite their ideals struggle to provide the boy with humane warmth or humane affection in the in the absence of his parents.
One night in a dream Winnie is visited by a profound and compassionate presence who announce we have set our hearts on you before giving him a strange gift in the form of a silver bracelet. In another strange encounter Winnie iis told: pay heed to the light that will grow within you. In the final confrontation it can only be that light that will save you.
​
As he matures Winnie confronts trials that test both his strength and his character. He wades in to protect the vulnerable from bullies and oppressors, usually in ways that place himself at grave risk. His courage is reckless but also springs from a deep instinct to guard what is vulnerable in others. His loyalty and capacity for love gather many friends and companions to him.
​
The novel follows Winnie through increasing tests: his small acts of defiance against cruelty, his moments of deep tenderness toward those who are struggling.
​
The book builds towards a terrible confrontation with the ultimate Adversary. By the depths of fear and hatred was I begotten, and by the fear of the world am I maintained. Winnie must rise to fight of his life if he is to survive, and to redeem the woman that he loves.
​
Themes
​
At its heart, Lightbringer is an exploration of everyday heroism.
The kind of heroism that emerges not from grand gestures but from a life of consistent dedication to the welfare of other people.
​
The kind of heroism that can build a soul over a lifetime to an indomitable force that can overcome every evil that there is.
​
Winstanley’s life embodies the great truth: that strength and gentleness can coexist, that true power lies not in domination but in protection.
​
The novel is an extended meditation on:
​
Bravery as an independent moral force, not merely physical daring
​
Sacrifice as the cost of love — a willingness to give of oneself for others
​
Real love as a light capable of reshaping suffering into purpose​
​
Framing the moral journey of one young man’s life lends this book the same basic narrative structure as the traditional gospels: the shape of Heroic Romance which one foundational structure of European literature.
Lightbringer explores how moral greatness can arise in ordinary circumstances. It invites readers to measure their own lives not by acclaim or achievement, but by the tenderness they extend and the courage they bring into the world’s small, difficult moments.
​
As is written at the conclusion of the work:
​
The soul of courage is to give without hope of reward, and to fight bravely against evil even when it is deadly and overwhelming. The brave shall fight in the face of terrifying odds, and even in the certain knowledge that there can be no escape or victory. For such knowledge is circumscribed by words, and there may yet be hope for the brave, even when all of their own hope is lost, and defeat looms before them, inevitable.
That there may yet be hope for the brave is the essential message of the text, encouraging the Brave to fight even in places beyond hope... until every last story has been told, and the world is liberated from the terrible bondage of words. ​
The Complete Chronicles of Lupa
Volume 1 - Ruby Tuesday
Volume 2 - Jesse James​
​
The Chronicles of Lupa unify all Werewolf/Vampire myths into one single narrative, bending and stretching the narratives of scripture to contain the same story.
​
These Chronicles are a sustained meditation upon the nature of love and death: the requirement that lives must be given for love, the truth that love can prevail over death.
​
These books form part of the New Scripture movement: the restoration of the Great Story driving the success of the West, providing hope and consolation "to all of the lost and the lonely".
​
Extended Synopsis
​
From the Chronicles of Lupa is a two-volume visionary epic about the Sisterhood of Lupa, a secret lineage of women stretching back to the days of Eden.
​
Their role is simple yet fearsome: to uphold the light and execute judgment upon the wicked, hunting them by the light of the full moon, sometimes singly, sometimes in packs. They battle their adversaries fiercely, for only through their ceaseless struggle is the balance of the world preserved.
​
Into this battleground wanders a man called Jesse James — a man of vast goodness, clemency, and capacity for love. His devotion to Ruby Tuesday draws him toward a terrible death, but also into a redemption long promised, though scarcely hoped for in his generation.
​
At once apocalyptic and tender, the novel blends scripture, legend, and love story. It answers the deep sighing of the oppressed and fulfills the luminous inheritance of Ruby Tuesday and poor Jesse James. It is a work about how vision, tenderness, and conscience might prevail against their baleful opposites.
​
Plot
​
The novel opens with a short book of Lamentation: a fragment from a psychiatric ward, an MK-Ultra artifact. An LSD-stricken patient glimpses the reality of the women called Lupa. In his testimony they are neither harpies nor succubi, neither vampires nor witches, but shining ones — hunted and slandered daughters of the moon who cannot be subdued. His voice, part prophecy and part delusion, sets the tone for the novel: a clash between blasphemy and vision, cruelty and light.
​
Into this fractured world comes Ruby Tuesday, raised by Mother Ruby on the cadences of an endless song of love and sorrow, of battles that by nature can never end. Her childhood is steeped in luminous secrecy, ordinary books seeming thin beside her mother’s song. Yet she is haunted by her mother’s warning that women like them must not expose themselves to the love of men. Ruby grows devoted to the song, yet also waits for her beloved — who will come like a column of smoke, whose mane will be inscribed upon the chambers of her heart.​
​
In parallel we meet Jesse Quinn, called Jesse James by his middle name. His childhood is scarred by neglect and bitterness, which he inherits as cruelty. For a time he is cruel indeed: hurting animals, mocking the weak, becoming the very child his mother’s scorn demanded. Yet before manhood, a profound change overtakes him. He turns back from iniquity and swears to atone — out of innate goodness, but also drawn by strange songs that seem to reach him from desert places, voices calling him to a destiny he does not yet understand.​
As the story unfolds, Jesse and Ruby’s fates entwine against the backdrop of cosmic powers. Ruby must heal the fractured inheritance of Lupa — culminating in confrontation with Magdalene, greatest of The Twelve. Jesse must face an Abomination known as Chixulub, the Sunken God, the Unredeemer.
​
Their bond is tested by betrayal and sorrow until the tale crescendos in visions of apocalypse. Yet despite its grand themes, at heart it remains a simple love story between two luminous souls.
​
Themes
​
The Sisterhood of Lupa: Ruby’s lineage situates women as bearers of song, secrecy, and endurance. Their song cycles endlessly, resisting closure, preserving desire as sacred rather than profane. They are also terrifying agents of vengeance against the wicked, declaring to oppressors: rightly should you fear. Jesse is motivated toward clemency and mercy, but that is not the justice the Sisters of Lupa wield. They hold up shining mirrors of truth, reflecting all things without the distortions of mercy.
​
Redemption through Conscience: Jesse’s childhood turn from cruelty to kindness is a rare image of radical repentance. The novel shows such mercy not as weakness but as the seed of strength. Later Jesse confronts young men ignorant even of the basic syntax of conscience, let alone the deeper demands of redemption. The book is a sustained critique of the modern world, where many lack even the vocabulary for examining their conscience.
​
The Word and the Power: For Jesse to enter his inheritance he must unite the clear light of clemency that has always guided him with the darker firelight burning deep within. Following the light of the Word, he encounters a radiant fire that refuses to reveal its origin — a fire teeming like a dark sea that would terrify him, had he retained any distance from it.
​
Style​
​
The novel is composed of short chapters built from space-separated paragraphs. Each paragraph is dense and lyrical, closer to prose-poems than to conventional narrative. The tone is drawn equally from scripture, visionary testimony, folk legend, and modern myth, collapsing distinctions between hallucination, history, and revelation.
​
Lupa is perhaps the work most centrally situated in New Scripture. Where The Majesty of Judas reclaims the most slandered disciple, Lupa expands into apocalyptic myth, weaving legend, secret women, and cosmic terror. Its vision is further deepened in My Name is Sheol.
​
FAQs​
​
1. Who is Ruby Tuesday?
​
Ruby is the only daughter of her mother, also called Ruby Tuesday. They are part of the Sisterhood of Lupa (She-Wolf), who battle ceaselessly against darkness to uphold the light. Their history reaches back to the earliest days of the world, their Great Heart beating since Eden, awaiting restoration by the One who will be sent to deliver them.
​
-
Who is Jesse James?
Jesse James Quinn is a boy who turned from cruelty and was called to greatness by a mysterious love that sings just beyond his hearing. He must ultimately choose between continuing his life or giving it up to save Ruby — and the world.
​
-
Is Lupa historical or fantastical?
It is mythic. Drawing from real figures and histories, it transfigures them into transcendent myth, where visions, prophecies, and apocalyptic battles are the true terrain. It eschews world-building, for the world is already rich enough — whether in scripture and myth, or in the lived reality where a life devoted to love becomes its own tragic, exalted quest.
​
Other Notes​
​
From the Chronicles of Lupa is not merely an invention or a fanciful tale of She-Wolves and their redeemer Jesse James. It is a vision of how tenderness might endure amid wrath, how conscience might undo bitterness, and how luminous women and redeemed men can unmake an abomination without raising a sweat. It is a story of redemption: not only of individuals, but of the twisted narratives of scripture itself. It makes New Scripture that is genuinely redemptive and deeply humane.
Firestick Farmer​
​
James Farmer grows up in an environment of violence and deprivation, and his eventual academic career focusses on the corresponding history of his people.
​
As his life takes an increasingly bitter turn his personal and professional obsessions push him through radicalisation towards a terrible conflagation.
​
Firestick Farmer is an exploration of the forces that shape radical sentiment both in Australia and abroad.
The narrative is sympathetic but also presents the blunt truth about the unpredictability of radical action, and a warning against the use of political violence no matter how just the cause.
​
Synopsis
​
Firestick Farmer is a contemporary Australian novel exploring themes of love, resistance, political violence, and despair.
​
The book tells the story of James (Jim) Farmer, a radicalised Aboriginal academic. We witness his descent into political extremism, his decision to literally fight fire with fire, and how he ultimately turns that weapon against the colonising powers he despises.
​
The novel swings between manic declaration and deep acknowledgment of loss: the portrait of a man deeply in love with his land, culture, and history, yet hunted by grief, doubt, and an inability to love.
​
Plot
​
The novel opens with Jim’s letter to Nate, setting the stage in a tone of prolepsis — the preparations made, the outcome sealed, the reckoning near at hand.
​
Jim explains how his long public advocacy for Indigenous sovereignty and “resistance and return” brought him into contact with enigmatic figures offering both resources and direction.
​
Against a backdrop of lectures, small alliances, and bitter disillusionment with empty words, Jim accepts their proposal. What follows is a chilling travelogue: towns, mountains, forests, even suburbs are marked with red crosses on maps; each cross becomes a site of destruction.
​
By the end of the mission, his resolve wavers. He relents from pure hatred and admits to wishing he could undo what has been done. Still, he does not repudiate his actions entirely. Instead, he insists on both the justice of resistance and the fairness of warning. His letter to Nate becomes his frank confession, along with a plea that Nate tell his story plainly if he is ever put up as either “mastermind or dupe.”
​
The story then shifts to a long narrative from Nate, going back to the very beginning. He describes how he met James Farmer after moving to a farming community far from the city, how they became firm friends, and everything that followed.​
​
Nate’s story fulfills his promise to Jim to tell things plainly and completely. Yet it also becomes a stark commentary on the different lives that people live depending on the health of their family relationships.​
Nate and Jim come from entirely different families, and that gives them entirely different lives. Nate’s family story is one of love; Jim’s story is one of violence, deprivation, and neglect born out of generational abuse.
​
Themes
​
Resistance: For Jim change comes not from words alone but from radical action. Fire is imagined as an amplifier of a single life’s agency.
​
Cultural Inheritance
The text arises from a thought experiment merging Indigenous dispossession with Irish Catholic responses to such dispossession — particularly the willingness of the Irish to take up arms against their oppressor.
​
Legacy of Abuse
The work deliberately casts two men from a similar genetic background into entirely different family situations. The outcomes for each man are radically different, as one would expect.
​
Extremism as Emotional Pathology
The narrator has been loved yet cannot feel love; extremism is shown as the distorted product of inner wounds and grief.
​
Style and Form
​
The book is cast as a traditional first-person narrative but is also dominated by found pieces — long letters, sections from Jim’s books, and political tracts. The prose collapses the distance between personal relationships — especially Jim’s relationship breakdowns — and national catastrophe. It moves between blunt post-industrial urban realism and Jim’s reverent, increasingly apocalyptic vision.
​
Firestick Farmer belongs to the author’s early work and is not overtly positioned within the New Scripture Project. However, its elevated and confessional cadences resonate with later works such as The Majesty of Judas and From the Chronicles of Lupa. The book blends testimony, myth, and scripture-like rhythm, but it is ultimately an anti-heroic tragedy. Unlike the mythic outlaw or redeemer who is raised up by the love of a woman, James Farmer is a man broken by grief, caught between a mandate of resistance and a terrible urge toward self-destruction.​
​
FAQs
​
Is Firestick Farmer historical fiction?
No. It is contemporary fiction without any clear real-world referent. However, it draws on historical injustice, Indigenous land practices and politics, and histories of violent resistance, such as in Ireland.
Is James Farmer a hero or villain?
The novel resists both conclusions. Jim acts from deep courage and conviction but also out of deep wounds, making him capable of extreme clarity but also profound blindness.
Is Firestick Farmer connected to New Scripture?
Firestick Farmer is one of P. Julian’s earlier works and is not specifically positioned within the genre of New Scripture. It does, however, show many features of that emerging style: fusing personal voice with scriptural cadence, turning one man’s confession into a text of mythic and ethical weight.
​
The long letter from James Farmer that forms the prolepsis to the work is rendered in a headlong, elevated narrative style containing many of the features of Hypnogogic (Hyp) Prose.
​
Does Firestick Farmer promote violence?
Absolutely not. It explores the psychological dimensions of radicalism, grounding them in the particular context of Indigenous politics in Australia. It is intended as a cautionary tale against political violence, and as a call to action within Australia to address the conditions that — wherever you are in the world — promote and foment radical sentiment.​
​
The protagonist James Farmer repents of his actions at the very end, though perhaps too late to avert catastrophe.
​
Firestick Farmer should be read as a warning about the unpredictability of radical action and the dangers of political violence, no matter how just the cause.
​
Closing Notes
​
Firestick Farmer is both an analysis of radical political violence and a testament to survivors of childhood abuse. It confronts the reader with uncomfortable questions about dispossession, justice, retribution, and belonging.
​
In the character of James Farmer — especially through the long Jerilderie-style letter he leaves behind — P. Julian has given us an intense survivor who cannot be easily characterised: a man both defiant and broken, righteous and remorseful, a fighter who ends the fight at the very last moment so that his enemy might at least receive fair warning.

Selah! Loving the Psalms
​
This book is a humanist transposition of fifty selected Psalms.
​
The aim is to liberate these songs of longing and devotion from their religious context, to provide a humanist experience of these intense works liberated from the constraint of religion.
Part of the hope of this work in liberating the Psalms is that there will be other works currently monopolised by religion that can be restored to their human origins, for human beings who will appreciate them on that humble but compelling level.
​
Now available on Amazon as a paperback. To read a free online PDF version click on the PDF icon.
Synopsis​
​
Selah! Loving the Psalms is a radical re-imagining of fifty selected psalms, transposed from their traditional devotion to God into songs of intimate devotion between human beings, or toward the very concept of Love itself.
​
The language of scripture is recast as the language of tenderness, grief, longing, rejoicing, and deep reconciliation. It is a book of humane prayer, a meditation on how the sacred might be rediscovered in the human realm, and a song of joyous intermingling with the Lord of Hosts who is simply called: She.
​
The book comprises fragments of familiar psalms with their address subtly shifted. Instead of speaking to a distant, vengeful God, the psalmist cries out to a beloved, a companion, or to the feminine divine imagined as a loving presence. These reworkings preserve the rhythm and cadence of traditional scripture while opening them to new theological significance.
​
Across fifty psalms the reader encounters voices of despair and redemption, yearning and comfort. A psalm that once invoked God’s saving power becomes a cry to a loved one whose presence alone can deliver the speaker from anguish. Psalms of thanksgiving become odes to human kindness and fidelity.​
The effect is one of radical spiritual intimacy: the psalms transformed into hymns to Love itself, in all its sacred and human dimensions.
​
These transpositions often employ images of the divine feminine, softening the patriarchal tones of a jealous or wrathful God. In one example, Psalm 107 is rendered:
​
I cried out to Her in my trouble / And She delivered me out of my distress​
​
As the sequence unfolds, grief and anguish give way to deep consolation, rising again and again in circular return — mirroring the continual cycles of love and loss that shape human life.
​
Themes and Significance
​
Transposition of the Sacred: The psalms shift from devotion to a distant God toward a more humane devotion, offering a sustaining sense of the sacred.
​
Love as Scripture: The work arises from the conviction that human relationships themselves are worthy of scripture, embodying devotion, betrayal, reconciliation, ecstasy, and tenderness.
​
The Feminine Divine: The psalms introduce feminine divine imagery, unsettling hierarchies and restoring balance. They position themselves as secret psalms to Our Lady the True Tower of the world to come, the Fallen Queen who will rise instantly to save us.
​
Empathy Training: Echoing one of scripture’s oldest purposes, these psalms train the heart in empathy, openness to suffering, tenderness, generosity, and even — in some moments — tears.
​
Style​
​
Loving the Psalms retains the brevity and lyrical cadence of the originals, shaped for rhythm and density. The language is plain yet elevated, bridging scripture and lyric into a hybrid genre that feels both ancient and new.​​
​
This transposition of the psalms serves as both complement and counterpoint to the mythic novels. Where Lupa and Sheolplunge into cosmic struggle, Selah turns inward, suggesting that the sacred is found in the intimacy of love itself.
​
These transpositions were undertaken before P. Julian fully developed the genre of New Scripture and its rhetorical engine, Hypnogogic (Hyp) Prose. His deep engagement with the psalms offered profound instruction in that form — a style that owes an immense debt to scripture itself.
My Name is Sheol (Coming soon!)
​
My Name is Sheol is a mind bending trip through the far reaches of mental illness and the lurid intensity of lucid dreaming. It maps out the fragile architecture of humane experience in these hyper-spatial realms in a way that threatens to tear any dreamer apart.
​
We first meet Che as she sits in a psychiatrist's office, having been brought there by her concerned mother who is desperate for her daughter's strangeness to be stopped.
​
Che does her best to explain the intensity of her lucid dreams - and the reality of the dream-lover whom she goes out to meet - but she finds little comprehension or understanding.​
​
Instead of sympathy Che finds herself medicated and that is only the beginning of her woes. She eventually finds herself up hard up against the involuntary aspect of the mental health system, adrift in a place which neither caters to her needs nor respects any part of the human experience seriously if that does not comport with the narrow outlook of hard scientific materialism.
​
Release Date
​
The book is nearing completion and will be released around Christmas 2025. The PDF above gives a little taster of the tone and the style but all of those are subject to change.
​
Queries have been made as to whether there book is firmly anti-psychiatry. The answer is no, but it does make some trenchant criticisms of the way that psychiatry is practiced in the west. It does steer close to the the point made by the late (and very great) Terence McKenna:
​
We have no tradition of shamanism. We have no tradition of journeying into these mental worlds. We are terrified of madness because the Western mind is a house of cards, and the people who built it know that -
Imagine if you were slightly odd and the solution was to take you and lock you into a place where everyone was seriously mad. That would drive anyone mad. If you have ever been in a madhouse you know that it is an environment calculated to make you crazy and to keep you crazy.
​
The book does sit firmly within the New Scripture genre, and although as a first person narration it cannot be as Hypnogogic as my other works it definitely uses some of the techniques of Hyp Prose.
