Ascension
ISBN-978-1-9995917-1-7
In the UK of the 1990's, experimental Dark Wave band MagiKore conducts powerful invocations of deities of death and transformation, forging unbreakable psychic links between its five members. Centuries later, following the announcement that global Ascension is imminent, they must reunite in their various futuristic incarnations to perform the metaphysical functions understood by only one of them, Chandra, currently resident in the spiritually-elevated Crystal Dome of the Latter-Day Aquarians.
As all sentient creatures prepare for translation, inner and outer landscapes begin to blend. Individuality must be safeguarded if the group is to perform its cosmic role and successfully channel the aspects of divinity most representative of their mutual soul-path.
The players in this mythopoetic jaunt find themselves emerging from diverse stages of personal evolution in order to re-group at the key moment of global crisis. Veering through alternative realities on the quest to find the soul-group's unique spiritual home, a touchstone truth of Ascension is that 'Every Thing Possible to Be Believ'd is an Image of Truth'.
Ascension draws on the Bhagavad-Gita, the canons of William Blake and Aldous Huxley, and on alchemical and Symbolist motifs and esoteric lore. Its cast of idiosyncratic characters must intuit their way through living allegory which includes aspects of Hinduism, Theosophy and Paganism, Evangelical Christianity, Buddhism, and materialism and atheism. Meanwhile, as numerous cults and creeds gather their forces, and godforms emerge to claim their own flocks, the world builds up to a dramatic transition that neither scientist nor saddhu can accurately foretell.

SPIRITUS
ISBN-978-1-9995917-0-0
​
Outside on Warmoesstraat, the night was closing in, bringing its usual rucksacked arrivals seeking shelter and a spliff, its parties of rowdy beer-swilling Brits, the crack dealers in metallic puffa jackets and bling, the leery-eyed men heading for the red light booths. Weaving among these were flashing figures attired in the skins of wild animals; a leopard-man here, a red-mouthed woman in wolf's clothing there; but these moved towards the river so fast that scrutiny was impossible. One was merely left doubting the veracity one's peripheral vision.
Neon signs announced bar and sex shop, coffeeshop and hotel. The bells of Sint Nicolaaskerk and Oude Kerk chimed a lengthy carillon, a cheery summons to all good spirits. On the dark water by the cathedral, the new ship swayed and sent out its own music in which ancient cadences and technical finesse were alluringly combined. The strange-angled melodies and sudden glissandos painted pictures in the mind, images that did not belong to ordinary perception, many of them being mythic in nature, and to the majority of listeners, incomprehensible.
A mysterious vessel sails into Amsterdam and sets up as the world's ultimate nightclub. It soon proves preternaturally tempting, even to sensible Jude, who moves to the city to be with her musician boyfriend, Rafferty. Soon they are joined by her effete, intellectual son Lenox, whose interest in the occult, existentialism and sexual exploration lead him – and the victims of his experiments – into surreal and soul-changing adventures.
