It has MILABs, reptilians, a lugubrious house, a woman from Sirius, little dolls with pins, and the drawer is slowly closing, which allows the stories within it to be read.
ISMs Press now has my chapbook, The Cabinet of What You Don't See, which you can order for 5.50. It's hand made with beautiful paper and color, full color art cover, and includes a story the other stories are in included in (you'll have to see it to understand.) It's dark, surreal, expressionist, in the usual Sein und Werden style. In fact, if you order the current issue, my chapbook comes with it.

Here is the Lucid Fiction section. The Prosetry section is lovely too! You can read my articles on this site on the page About Experimental Literature, for a better insight into what Lucid Fiction is. Please enjoy the stories by these excellent writers. And rejoice if you like over the widening of the literary world into another way of writing which many are embracing.
This is a landmark for me, and for a new genre called Lucid Fiction. Here, I describe a bit of what the progression was like for me, from coming up with it, to seeing it as an more official genre.
Want just the chapbook, for 5.50? Or want the current issue of Sein Und Werden, for 8.50, including the chapbook? In any case, check it out here!
Of the chapbook, author Alana Capria says, ‘ In Tantra Bensko’s The Cabinet of What You Don’t See, the dreamlike stories build upon one another slowly, as the cabinet drawers open to reveal the many surreal, mythical, and dangerous parts. Delicate owls exist in conjunction with reptilian things that invade our beings and little winged dolls prance across the page, ignorant of their sexuality. Bensko’s writing is methodical in its lyricism. Her stories read like poems, beautiful sentences woven together that churn like waves as dog bodies eat and vomit one another over and over again.‘ are at Exclusive, translated by Philip John Ushner from the French. "I am still unaware what others call me. Is that the truth of the dream? Is that what happens under daylight glow? In any case, what does it matter?"
