Sascha Aurora Akhtar's The Grimoire of Grimalkin

Conceived during passionate affairs with French fin-de-siècle literature and Russian poets from the 1920s of the obscure kind, Sascha Aurora Akhtar's The Grimoire of Grimalkin is for lovers, lovers of words, and lovers of language itself. Language melts into a bubbling cauldron of delicious trickery, sex and death, magick and mayhem and, above all, love. This is a work of contemporary Gothic, with a punk core and an anarchic sense of humour.
