Listen, you don't have much time. Everything you are about to read is true. In this book you will find 21 stories that the government never wanted you to know. Tales of monsters and conspiracies you would have never thought possible; all now available for your innocent eyeballs to feast upon. But be warned, what you are about to read isn't for the light of heart. Yes, this all really happened, and yes, most of it is quite gruesome. But trust me when I say that reading this book will save your life. Otherwise, how will you know where the antidote is? Also, I should mention that I am a compulsive liar. But that isn't true, either, now is it? Either way, you're stuck now, so try to at least make the best of it as you read this book that I totally wrote by myself.

"Reflecting ten years of work, Blue Electric Dusk is an eclectic collection of rhyme and rhythm. James W.F. Roberts, a self-described poetry addict, delivers his voice in shouts and whispers with the use of language allowing the reader to move beyond the written word into the visual landscape and to journey inside the reflection of a writer's thought and view of contemporary society. In these pages, Roberts shares the passion and eroticism of relationships, the pain of death, and the transformative power of love. He is ever patient in his observations and open to the teachings contained in the smallest moments." - Catherine Zickgraf, Catherine the Great, Performance Poet. Augustus, Georgia. "'Blue Electric Dusk' is a collection electric with questions in an ever-indifferent world. From echoes of lost love to incisive social observation, the words spin across the page in images equally dark as they are richly colourful." - Amanda Anastasi.Twice winner and 2013 judge of the Williamstown Literary Festival's Ada Cambridge Poetry Prize. Her collection, 2012 and Other Poems, was named in Ali Alizadeh's 'Best Poetic Works of 2012' in Overland. Blue Electric Dusk, 81 poems and ten years in the making. Poems about love, loss, sex, desire, desperation, addiction, abuse, murder, spiritual decay, prophetic visions of the end of days, discovering your sexual identity, facing up to the zombie cultural zeitgeist of the new millennium and so much more. This is not poetry for the faint of heart. This is poetry that grabs you by the throat and takes you on a ride beyond the mundane and corporeal and leaves you somewhere between a nightmare world, the squalor of an opium den in the inner city and the profound. James WF Roberts only started writing ten years ago and already he has come a long way with several international publications under his belt, good reputation developing on the poetry stages of Melbourne and regional Victoria and good showings in several major competitions over the last few years, Runner-up Page Seventeen 2012 Poetry Prize, Short-listed for the Fermoy International Poetry Festival 2012 and Highly Commended for the John Shaw Nielson Prize, Fellowship of Australian writers, 2009/10. Other publications of note included: Melpomene, Numen Books, 2012, Spirit of Poe Anthology (USA), Verandah twenty-six (Deakin Uni) Song of Sahel (multimedia Kindle African Drought relief. Plum-tree books). Double Honours degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies/Literature, Art and film. Since 2007 Roberts' poetry has been shared with the world over the internet on my radio show on www.phoenixfm.org.au

Spanning the world's artistic, scientific and religious traditions, alchemy has embraced and continues to embrace the complete spectrum of existence. From metallurgy to metaphysics, alchemy engages the technical, fine and hieratic arts in order to provide a living phenomenology of the one, single, elusive process that acts through all things. Ultimately--in its guise as ars transmutationis--alchemy penetrates to the heart of the transfiguring spiritual intensity that underpins the perfection of life, not only from 'mineral to man', but from humanity to divinity. Despite this profoundly all-embracing purview, alchemy continues to be conceived as either proto-chemistry or proto-psychology. The present volume seeks to redress this false dichotomy by exploring alchemy as a quintessentially integral phenomenon. Opening wide the full spectrum of alchemy--from east to west, in history and practice, from antiquity to the avant-garde--our aim is to penetrate as deeply as possible, within the limits of a single volume, into the rich practical and experiential traditions of the alchemical mysterium. Featuring both well-established scholars and emerging, cutting-edge researchers, this book synthesises a quintessentially high caliber of academic authorities on the vast and baroque heritage of the alchemical world. As a whole, the volume seeks to strike the perfect balance-the golden mean-between strict, historical objectivity and empathic, phenomenological insight. Drawn from international ranks (Europe, the Antipodes, the Americas) and cutting across disciplinary boundaries (Egyptology, Classics, Sinology, Indology, Tibetology, philosophy, religious studies, Renaissance studies, history of science, art history, critical theory, media studies), the contributors to this volume include some of the most gifted investigators into the world's esoteric lineages.
