‘Imagine somewhere a great and splendid hall where everything is done to produce joy and merriment – but the entrance to this hall is a nasty, muddy, horrible stairway, and it is impossible to pass without getting disgustingly soiled and admission is paid by prostituting oneself, and when day dawns the merriment is over and all ends with one’s being kicked out again. But the whole night through everything is done to keep up and inflame the merriment and pleasure.’ The editorial work is nearing completion on PAINTING EYES ON CHAOS, Phil O'Neil's final text he completed just before his untimely demise last autumn. Off to the typesetter presently, available for pre-order review copy already. Envisaged publication: late April. Here's a back cover sneak preview, more info to follow.

"How do you replicate a feeling in a way that doesn’t seek to make it relatable? How do you enact it instead?" spoke to Mathilde Montpetit from The Auflauf about GLANTZ ( @EquusPress ), and some big news regarding @MinorLits 's 2026 plans ... linked below

Another recent title just made available via Barnes & Noble is Michael Rowland's THE UNNAMEABLE OBJECT (2025), "an epic experiment in collective memory and literary excess which assembles fragments of memoir, fiction, satire, and hallucination into a polyphonic chronicle of Prague’s literary underground."

"A work of fiction that refuses to perpetuate the illusion of coherence, confronting the reader instead with the broken totality of a life lived on the edge of destruction.” @AnsgarAllen's JONATHAN MARTIN, as well as all the other recent Equus titles (GLANTZ, THE UNNAMEABLE OBJECT, LUNGFISH), now available also via Barnes & Noble.

Does anyone have a theory, reference, or educated hunch as to the origin of the title of @LouisArmxnd's A TOMB IN H-SECTION (2025)? Medical ward? Prison block? Holocaust archive shorthand? Geological stratum? Or is it simply the most aggressively bureaucratic way of naming a grave? Genuinely curious whether this is a traceable reference, a private code, or one of those titles that looks like it comes from somewhere very specific and probably doesn’t — except atmospherically, psychologically, metaphysically. Speculation, citations, wild guesses welcome. Bonus points (free PDF of a 2025 Equus title) for wrong answers delivered with confidence. equuspress.wordpress.com/a-tomb-in-h-se…

The first copies of the still warm-off-the-press Lungfish have already arrived in Prague bookstores, spotted here at the Franz Kafka Bookstore and the Shakespeare & Sons, nestled in-between some Carl Jung, Einstein in Prague, and Patti Smith...

On Invasion Day, 2026, the first 10 specimens of the rarest species of Lungfish, coming all the way from the Land Down Under, have washed up on the coast of Bohemia…

"From Terra Nullius to Pine Gap & beyond, Armand’s novel questions how stories are told & who owns them. At once intimate & epic, it is a novel about love & survival, lament & reclamation & the ways in which the forces of history brutalise the present." atelierlouisarmand.wordpress.com/2026/01/25/lun…

Happy publication day--on this day of days--to Louis Armand's LUNGFISH, a multi-layered work of docufiction, weaving myth, memory & true crime into a sprawling narrative of Australia & its shadows. Hailed by Glendyn Ivin as "a stream of conscience machine gun fever dream" and as "Necromodernist travel writing from another dimension” by Wayne Bradshaw, LUNGFISH fuses a nation’s myth, personal memory, & true crime into a volatile multimedia text, where childhood scenes bleed into archives & black-site geopolitics intrudes on the everyday. DMs us for review e-copies, print copies available via LULU and, soon enough, from Ingram Spark. For more information visit: equuspress.wordpress.com/lungfish/

Forthcoming in just under 2 weeks (26 Jan): LUNGFISH is a late-80s phantasmagoria set in a rural Australian town, trailing a pack of whacked-out kids & a battered 1971 VH Valiant Ranger as it tears through heat, dust, riverbeds, & bad history. What starts as adolescent misadventure mutates fast into something darker, stranger, far less containable. @LouisArmxnd fuses a nation's myth, personal memory, & true crime into a volatile work of docufiction, where childhood scenes bleed into archives & black-site geopolitics intrudes on the everyday. History here doesn't just settle for haunting from a distance, it occupies, surveils, disciplines. LUNGFISH holds Australia open, exposing storytelling itself as a contested terrain shaped by erasure & violence, all the while refusing to forget. "Dense, playful writing that boldly & unapologetically experiments with form & tone. Louis Armand’s Lungfish is a stream of conscience machine gun fever dream that feels strangely familiar, but also like no place I've ever been."--Glendyn Ivin ARC's available in e-form upon demand.

"Taken together, these works demonstrate that necromodernism is not so much a movement as a contagion, not so much a style as a condition of writing. In Armand’s writing, literature persists only by metabolizing its own cadaver, surviving in ruins, endlessly looping through its own exhaustion, and his Golemgrad stands as necromodernism’s most monumental instantiation: a city of the dead, built from the ruins of literature, where writing persists not despite collapse but through it." @DavidVichnar on @LouisArmxnd's GOLEMGRAD PENTALOGY (Equus & Alienist, 2016-2025) as an architectural structure of necromodernist fiction. Courtesy Heavy Feather Review.

LUNGFISH proofs returned & the book will be heading off to the printer for a 26 January release -- for anyone looking for something worth "celebrating" on that date;)
