Description
Evil: A study of lost techniques by philosopher Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh explores evil as an infinitesimal complex of techniques – subtle inflections of possibility and obscure typologies of influence that bring together the rarest philosophies of oblivion, decadence, cruelty, derangement, ecstasy, atrocity, rage, and mystery alongside the most intricate poetic genres of the rant, the elegy, the riddle, the whisper, the threat, the question, silence, and the nocturne. Through a labyrinthine series of notes, diagrams, and outer limit speculations, this book attempts to uncover those concealed fragments which together form the architecture of another world altogether.
A singular work of sustained intensity, that lures the reader into abandoned labyrinths, into alien metamorphoses. Evil is recommended for readers of the infernal works of Kenneth Grant, Michael Bertiaux, Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges.
