Void Galaxia

A 215,000 word sci-fi megalith that is probably too long for anyone to commit to, but here it is, fully edited and thematically airtight.

Blurb:

Near future Baudrillardian void scape in the costume of a trash sci-fi serial about a Japanese student getting a brain swap and ending up in the gravity well of a fatigued alien puppet master who may or may not be a villain might even be something beyond it.

Big focus on concept of hauntological drift, especially in the non-action scenes.

Big struggle with consistency in terms of staying in the mind of a 22 year old MC with two sets of memories in his head, in a novel that was written on and off for nearly 15 years.

Big influence direct and other from Deleuze and Baudrillard and Kristeva and a dozen more I can’t think of right now, specifically the books of theirs that are available in my local library [Passwords, Fatal Strategies, Anti-Oedipus, The Fold, Cinema I and II, Powers of Horror etc.] Also, Leval and his book on Spanish Collectives during the Revolution, with Dolgoff’s text as a supplement/counterpoint. The novel is not a philosophical text, obviously, but all of the above were filtered in to some extent, mostly during the last four hundred pages.

Cover done by me in a trance state.

[If you wanna get a feel for it first, or you just can't spare any cash, a free PDF is available on Psycho Holosuite, same with most of my novels.]
