 "This book was very well written. For those looking for historic/science fiction, Steve Sloane is an amazing writer. I highly recommend it." amazon.comLate Victorian London, 1899. Seigfried Wallace, a lowly clerk at insurance company Radcliffe House, is invited by Mr. James Spall, a friend of his from upper management, to The Gaiety, a private gentlemen’s club in Knightsbridge for an evening’s social engagement. With reluctance, Seigfried accepts. Soon after, James disappears and Seigfried sets about trying to correlate the possibility of his friend’s absence, with the club. A second, and somewhat mysterious invite to a Christmas Eve gathering at the club draws Seigfried closer to the reasons for James’ disappearance, as well as engaging him in the club’s most secret purposes-those made privy to only its highest, distinguished members.

 "Another excellent satelitte from Andre. Choose madness. Choose the void. Choose this book. If you read it 13 times in a row, a new book appears on the 14th read." amazon.comA collection of gnomic wisdom from medieval Italy, published for the first time. Rare glimpses of an alternative worldview, the fragments collected in this anthology are based on the notations of the "segretari dell’impiccato", executors of a semi-pagan Italian tradition: When criminals were executed, specially-appointed scribes wrote down the hanged men's last words. In the belief that the dying, on the threshold between this world and the next, were privy to special wisdom, these words were collected in special tomes ("antologie dei morti") and mostly destroyed by edict of pope Leo X.
The "antologie" are presented in this bilingual edition (English/Italian) to a world in dire need of a different point of view.
