Sub*Text Saturdays

Welcome to Sub*Text Saturdays, where I abduct your mind for a short trip through the alternative awesome of the internet with some Pics, Flicks, Vids & Lit. You may just be rolling out of bed ready to wake'n'bake, or maybe charging your cell while waiting for your friends to swing by before you hit the pub, or perhaps you've just come home from last call, stumbling & mumbling but somehow able to pop open your laptop.

No matter the state of your consciousness...enjoy the Alt.Ent that is Sub*Text.

SHAMANSPACE by Steve Aylett


What if god were found to exist? What if revenge were possible? Competing groups of occult assassins race to exterminate the creator, with young gun Alix the favorite. But conflict among the Edgemen sends Alix in pursuit of renegade shaman Quinas and a psychic splinter group. Waging multidimensional war, the edgemen travel through sidespace to confront at last the source of evil and hit back at a toxic universe even at the risk of ending it.

Dense language that pokes at your brain and demands attention, poetic babbling and grand posturing, with overly ambitious metaphysical ideals.
A novella worth tracking down, a writer that bears further investigation.

Introduction by Grant Morrison
