Cosamado's Travels E-book at LucidPlay:
Paul B. Barnett's e-chapbook, Cosamodo's Travels
Stars fall, light fades as the young Mayan priest climbs the 49 steps to the pinnacle of the great pyramid at Uxmal. It is from there that his spirit ascends through the crack of dawn to join with a dead soul who will lead him to Richard of Wallingford, the one person on earth capable of making a portal that can connect our world to the land of the creators of time.
Provided with a set of instructions on how to create the portal tattooed upon his back, Cosamado must make an incredible journey from the southern tip of the Mexican peninsula to the damp, gray world of Oxford, England. Along the way he will meet a series of enlightened beings who will help him with his quest. Melting time? Territorial disputes between dreamland and the waking world? Shape-shifting beauties? Come join Cosamado as he travels through a perfectly imperfect world that unveils some of life's more profound mysteries.
Other books
LucidPlay Publishing also has 4 other e-chapbooks for you to read for free, as well as a full length book on the late Richard Hugo's use of sound. Writers striving to understand more deeply how the sounds within sentences can be used to create meaning and mood might find it useful to dip into.
Collapsible Horizon lives there as well, a coherent collection of interwoven stories that take you through the Event Horizon, into the wormhole of universal loss. A man gets overly involved with the malleable walls of a lugubrious house; a mother's head flies off in anger as she refuses to believe she's dead; a man with a very peculiar mouth shows up to the door selling yard triangles, and multi-layered yards, and suddenly nothing is the same.
Free Lucid-playing E-chapbooks currently include:
Girl in Paper Mache: Story by A.M Chabitnoy, incorporating extracts of art by Mattthew Skenandore. A text that is similar to an artistic construction in itself details the building of a girl.
Careful: You'll Wake the Story: Each chapter is based on phrases that reverse of the ones repeated in the previous chapter. A liquid labyrinth that flows through anti mirrors. By Will MacBride, Daniel Ross, Peter Johnstone, Artemis Asio, Owen Kaelin, James Goertel, Rand Burgess, Natasha Cabot, Jeff Thomason, Paul Barnett, T. Fox Dunham.
Secret Levitation, the Egg-Cup Mirror: This story rides a unicycle through its mirrors, through different authors continuing the story as it unfolds through words and folds back in upon itself. James Goertel, Jeff Fleming, Alan Lynch, Baladev Bishop, Natasha Cabot, Adam Wilby.
Book of Kaleidoscopic Acumen: The NightMarium Restoration Guild has been hard at work translating for you
from the Secrum Script, with footnotes, to show you as closely as they can the original document. These are exciting times for esoterica. Metafictional beings have conspired to show you ways of expanding perceptions.
Forthcoming in print only:
The Matador of Mirrors by Alex S. Johnson
The Naked Prayerbook by Philip Tinkler
