Bumping!

So my author friend Phil Sandifer is publishing Neoreaction a Basilisk, a book on, among other things, the neoreactionary movement, Roko's Basilisk, William Blake, Hannibal Lecter, and how all those things go together. If anyone here is remotely interested in politics, philosophy, preposterous evil artificial intelligences, arcane art, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, or lizard people, I'd highly advise getting in on the Kickstarter while there's still time--not only is more content added to the book's final version for every stretch goal hit, backers can get really cool special editions of the book modeled to look like 80s conspiracy zines.

Yeah, Phil's books always end up looking gorgeous. I'm a particular fan of the cover for his essay collection Guided by the Beauty of Their Weapons , which is a lot like The Chronoliths in its style.

And all the installments of his TARDIS Eruditorum series are also lovely.

I know my audience.

Hey, Praxus,
I'm interested in the "Guided by the Beauty of their Weapons" collection. Is that still available? Thanks in advance

It's rare i back anything on kickstarter.  damn you Praxus, you had to include that amazon link too

The Kickstarter has ended with $14,815 raised by 708 backers, meaning every stretch goal for the permanent edition of the book has been reached! Thanks so much to those of you who contributed, and happy reading!

Do you like true stories? WWII dramas? Con artists? Journalism? Satire? Actual fake news conspiracies? My friend's debut novel is for you.

The tl;dr version: fictionalized depiction of a real anti-Nazi underground newspaper whose leaders were captured by Germany and told they had to turn their paper pro-Nazi or be executed. They complied, took the money the Nazis gave them for the task, and instead invested all of it in an insane scheme to start up a second newspaper and turn it into an anti-Nazi publication that would be distributed throughout Belgium.

Tl;dr-er: a group of dissidents and resistance members decide to die for the sake of an anti-Nazi joke.

Tl;dr-est: Ocean's Eleven in Nazi-occupied Europe, but true.

I read the thing as it was being written and can verify, it is great. Most important, it's now available for preorder! Scroll down on this page to find the Amazon link.

For starters, here's the Wikipedia article. Read it in shame.
