'Sup all,

Just a note to mention that "Generation Hex," the long-threatened Disinfo "new voices in the occult" anthology planned and hatched on Barbelith over two years ago now, is now available for order on Amazon, will be in independent bookstores in the next couple of weeks (in time for the Autumnal Equinox), and will be in the major chains in early October.

The book features tons of autobiographical and practical writing on the "21st Century Magical Renaissance," including several contributions from Barbelith's own Gypsy Lantern and Rage, comes with a sparkling cover by Paul Laffoley, mad props on the back from Phil Hine, Grant Morrison, and Genesis P-Orridge, and conveys the practical secrets of melting early-millenium cultural gridlock and terminal fundamentalism and replacing them with a whole 'Nother Scene. Also, sex.

AND it's only $10 if you order from Amazon!

Order here

You can also check out the official website here.

Hope ya dig it!

On the downside, Amazon still seems to have no idea when its coming out.

Amazon UK gives a November release date. Any way UK readers can get one NOW?

I went to Chapters today, and I don't know if the bastards are going to bring it in. They were red-tape-ish about the whole thing.

I guess I am going to become an Amazon convert.

If you're based in London, there's going to be a launch event at Treadwells bookshhop, and they'll have copies there. I'm going to email the UK distributor this afternoon and find out how soon copies will be available so a date can be set for the launch party.

I think it looks really good. A bit difficult to get critical distance from it, since I've seen it develop from mad idea cooked up by Jason in a bar, through various different stages to the beautiful product that would be sitting before me right now - had I not given all of my contributor copies away last night to ladies in a champagne induced haze.

Amazon.com (US) gives an "estimated delivery date" of November 26th - the book actually comes out long before that, yes? Hopefully? (I pre-ordered specifically so I wouldn't have to wait...?)

Gypsy Lantern, are you tight with Jason Louv? You sound like you have some serious connections. And you are also published in the book, I hear, so will you be using your real name or your Barbelith pseudonym?

And I love how Morrison is so poetic: "Your invitation to the party that just might bring the house down".

This is an awesome project, and I will be ordering my copy very soon.

Jason Louv is tight with nobody but the devil, I tell you, the very devil!

So, you're just drinking buddies then?
 
 
Gypsy Lantern

Jason Louv drinks with nobody but the devil, I tell you! Satan mixes his cocktails! A horned beast with a dark and terrifying cock stirs his vodka martini and a putrid she-devil with monkeys for tits pours his lager! No man on earth dare sip from the same cup!

Now, don't you think someone's being just a little biased?

Gypsy, I know what your problem is, and the first step of the cure is a kiss. Calling Dr. Louv!

Be silent! Speak unguarded words like that about the Dark Magus and the Gates of Hell might swing open yet and claim thee!

Um... yeah. Jason Louv, the Devil's Own Wingman. Erm.

Saw a copy of it last night and it looks great! Want my own copy now! Roll on the London launch party. Well done all!

Will the Devil be serving bar at the launch and stirring the drinks with his cock or his tail? If so I'm there- if not, well, I'm there anyway, but disappointed.

Also, the first event for the book launch has been set for Oct 3 at Vox Pop Books, an anarchist den in New York City:

See thread here (from Gathering).

Will keep this space updated with further events as we know about them, or check the Gen Hex website.

Don't be silly. It's just Pimm's Cup. People have been drinking it for years.

What people? Strange people. That's who.

I like Pimms. Shouldn't it come with a warning though? "may contain traces of Satan," something like that.

Well, I hear that it used to contain traces of Satan, but now they do it with artificial flavorings. You know, like with Pernod and absinthe.

Been reading this all weekend, and I found it really inspiring. Makes me want to get off my ass and DO THINGS. Well done, BiaS. Some of it is mad as shit, but endearing in a clinically insane way. Review to follow.
