I have learned a few tricks along the way, a few random skills and simple avoidance techniques- but mainly it has been luck, I think, and a keen attention to karma, along with my natural girlish charm.

LEGION 49 by Barry William Hale
Launch Party
Treadwells Bookshop
34 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden
11th June 7.00pm
On the eve of the Equinox Festival Fulgur invites you to the launch of Barry Hale’s evocatory Legion 49. In this series of short, de-constructionist essays the artist explores traditional methods of evocation and the myths surrounding Beelzebub, before providing an iconographical and sigillic recension of his horde of forty-nine servitors, glimpsed through the protective-symmetry of the paper-cut traditions of old Mexico. Legion 49 is a fusion of styles, influences and approaches, the modern and ancient, direct and indirect, refined and raw: it seeks to capture for a moment that flitting, fleeting, Chaotic gnosis symbolised by the Lord of Flies.
Standard edition will be on sale on the night: Limited to 777 numbered copies. Illustrations, gilt-stamped cloth and dust-jacket. 160pages, 230mm x 175mm. £25.00. You can reserve a launch copy by contacting the shop.
Barry will be there to sign copies and there are rumours even of an impromptu performance that should create a real buzz. Capacity is limited, so be sure to reserve a spot. Places are free but you do need to contact Treadwells to be added to the guest list.
I received my copy of the book today. I'm afraid it may have to wait until I return from Seattle and Notocon next week - this book, like everything I've purchased from Fulgur, is absolutely beautiful, and the thought of subjecting it to a cross country trip (with all the airports and luggage that entails) makes me cringe. I'm really looking forward to this one, but I'd not forgive myself soon if it came back damaged or with the striking black and blue cover torn...
