Glyphotech and Other Macabre Processes Mark Samuels 9781539651727 Books

Majestic collection from one of modern masters. Now that Glyphotech is reprinted and made widely available, it is quite easy to see that it is every bit as exemplary as two of Samuels's previously widely accessible collections. That it was so long out of print, with used copies commanding exuberant prices, was a crime, Well, at least that crime is repaired now, and purveyors of weird can now experience those award-winning treatments of “Glyphotech Reconstruction Co.” for negligible price!
Stories are as dark and layered as one can expect, and are written in Samuels's crisp and elegant prose. They are quite varied, but with some standard Samuels-like motifs and some recurrent themes. From that of corporate horror and individuality under attack in the titular tale, to that of language as infection in "Cesare Thodol", to train-centered stories like "Sentinels" and "Destination Nihil", where former is akin to Barker's "Midnight Meat Train" infused with Samuels's own worldview, and latter is a nightmare worthy of Grabinski, to tales of insane asylums in "Regina vs. Zoskia" and "Patient 704" where narrator's own sanity is in question. Madness of our times, horrors of modernity, assaults on the very fabric of our reality... you'll encounter all of this here.
Also, while one specifically satirical tale is excised from this reprint, there are still islands of humor in this ocean of somber darkness. From endearingly broken English of first story's protagonist (and the possibility that he is based on author's colleague and friend), to brutally dark humor and satire of weird fiction community in "Ghorla". But, first and foremost, it is darkness that you'll find here, elegant and alluring one indeed, but also one that is singularly suited to our times and one that can be almost healthy in how it makes the reader more awake. This is modernity without make-up, in all of its raw glory,

Owner of the original but what more can be said about this tome of macabre morality? Probably a lot. But here's a short one freedom from the constrains of totalitarian monsters and deformed virtues. VIVA MARKiTTY. VIVA free publishing!!!
Mark Samuels is a master of weird fiction and this reprint certainly helps to prove it. The stories are provocative and imaginative. And several of them will haunt me for some time to come.
