What's up, /fringe/ and /occult/.
You two boards have proven great influences on me over the past few years as I've broadened my spiritual horizons, and not only that, but you've driven untold traffic to my essays and supported me in my work. My occult studies have had a great impact on my novel, THE LIGHTNING STENOGRAPHY DEVICE, and to repay that influence I'd like to do a /fringe/ and /occult/ exclusive giveaway.
The first marketable thought to text device is released for public consumption in 2031. That same year, author Cassius Wagner will have a seizure. At least, that is what the novel says: the novel to which he awakens in fragments one morning after a late night of writing. This novel. Terrified to have a prophetic manuscript unfurling at his heels, his desperation to evade his fate prevents him from considering that his lover and editrix, Katherine Beauvoir, might be wrestling with a destiny of her own. Told in four psychedelic parts which peak with the fable of a sublingual Huntress as she fights to save her King, THE LIGHTNING STENOGRAPHY DEVICE blurs the speculative fiction and fantasy genres to explore the fabric of literature, and the boundaries of reality. /fringe/ and /occult/ will appreciate its intense use of occult and alchemical symbolism, particularly in the second half of the novel.
The book will be released on March 19th, 2018 in hardback, paperback and ebook forms, and I'm looking to give away some copies until then in hopes of acquiring 100 reviews. The rub is that I only have so many physical copies to give away, so the promotion will go as follows:
1. The first 2 posters from each board to email publicity@paintedblindpublishing.com with the subject 'Free Loosh from [Board Name]' and a physical address to where I can send the book will receive a HARDBACK copy of THE LIGHTNING STENOGRAPHY DEVICE, signed by the author.
2. The following 3 posters (again, from each board) to email will receive a signed PAPERBACK copy.
3. All subsequent entrants will receive ebook copies.
That is 10 total copies I am giving to you guys, not including those who receive ebooks. I will have the physical books in the mail for you no later than one week after confirming your win, or I'll be even more of a faggot than OP usually is. There is no charge to enter the contest, but I do ask that all who read the book please leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads, whether for worse or for ill. Also, send loosh.
8chan's occultists have always proven great help in my work, and the fiction and non-fiction they love have helped to open my mind in countless ways. My hope is that this book will do the same for others, and your reviews can help me do that. Thanks always for your support!
Picture attached to prove I am not 100% a faggot and do have books to send. Winners are encouraged to take a picture of their prize and post it to the board. Check out www.paintedblindpublishing.com for occult essays and information about my first book, DELILAH, MY WOMAN.
P.S. To the good mods of /fringe/, Merry Christmas/Happy Saturnalia and sorry also to post outside of the original Alchemical Devilry thread, which, while it may still be floating around, has since been derailed by shitposters. Essays have been slow at the moment due to book marketing, but rest assured, the 8ccult community will be the first to learn of new ones being posted.
