Now available from the Church Ghost distro page: New Juche's HEAT DEATH.

"I think it's one of the finest photo essays ever produced. 'Ballardesque' is the smug shorthand that comes to mind, but NJ's work defies comparison. Brilliant."
—Chip Smith, Ninebanded Books

"A libidinous psychogeography of the colonial mind from a faceless voice wandering the fringes of the 'civilised' world."
—WasteMailingList

"New Juche is one of the most inspiring, original and groundbreaking artists working today."
—Dennis Cooper

New arrival on the distro page: RATS EYES, a punk zine by cartoonist power couple Josh Bayer and Hyena Hell.

Rats Eyes is a punk games and activity book, which for legal purposes is almost certainly not inspired by Black Flag. By Utzy and Dusty author Josh Bayer, and his partner in crime, Hyena Hell. Highly recommended.

Damian Murphy joins us as a guest writer to discuss the early video games and systems that inspired his new title from Church Ghost: The Electro-Etheric Minotaur.

And yes, that’s an Indiana Jones sprite in the image.

Inspired equally by gory ‘80s slasher films and Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie comic strip, this is Utzy and Dusty: Swan, Swan, Hummingbird… an intense new graphic novel by Josh Bayer.

Now taking pre-orders. Link in comments.

Church Ghost is now stocking books from UK publisher Temporal Boundary. Folk horror, hauntology, Coil, and all matters related to “England’s Hidden Reverse.” I’ve been following this press since they got started, and I’m excited to be able to make these titles more easily available for American readers.
