 From The Grady Project:



            Adoni


 In the Gardens of Adonis
 Down the headlands of Lebanon
 Groves of cypress, rue, and pine trees
 Hold their ancient, holy trust,
 Hidden deep within the foliage
 Marble temples clothed with verdure
 Bramble branches bar the pathway
 If you seek with knowledge lust.

 Yet to him who comes a pilgrim
 Who would taste the sacred vintage
 Wine the blood and son of Cybele
 Let him know, this is the Law;
 Come with yearning soul and kingly
 Know and be the god Adonis
 Pass your way, and dye the scaffold
 Ere is told that which you saw.


                   --Grady L. McMurtry

 Liber CCCXXXV (Santa Cruz: 1987 e.v.); reprinted in "The Grady Project" #3

 FROM THE BOOKSHELF

 SEMIOTEXT[E] SF (Semiotext[e], Vol. 5, Issue 2) Edited by Rudy Rucker, Peter
 Lamborn Wilson, and Robert Anton Wilson (Autonomedia, NY: 1989) Reviewed by
 Majnun.

      Cracked asphalt.  Passing wail of synthesized drum-beats echoing against
 the walls of abandoned warehouses.  Ear-splitting crash of metal against
 metal.  A gas-tank ignites.  Teams of ragged youths with cybernetic limbs
 gather to dance and maim each other in the burning carnage.

 "...like having sex with an obviously syphilitic whore and enjoying it more
 because you knew she was diseased."
                 - John Shirley, "Six Kinds of Darkness"

      The Era Vulgaris Eighties being over, everyone is rushing to provide the
 definitive caricature of the times, to give an appearance of underlying
 direction to the scope of recent history.  SEMIOTEXT[E] SF has appeared just
 in time for future nostalgics to single it out as, "Eighties.  Very Eighties."

 "In what has come to be known as the Kansas City Purges, one hundred pubescent
 boys are disemboweled on an open altar to appease Yam Kax, the Mayan corn
 god."
                - Richard Kadrey, "Genocide"

      Alienation.  Hedonism.  Despair.  Machinery.  Sentence fragments.  I'm
 glad the attempt is being made to put a face on contemporary culture, even if
 it involves a measure of distortion.  Although there are themes and images
 repeated in these stories almost to the point of cliche, no two offerings are
 at all similar.

 "...I made myself a tuna sandwich and thought of sperms in fur coats,
 shivering on tiny wooden rafts as they tried to maneuver round the icebergs
 that blocked their way to the frozen eggs.
