Just a note to let my dear readers know that I’m still alive, however much my inbox might suggest the contrary. It’s been another productive absence as I’d estimate we’re about 3/4 of the way through the book, closer if I leave out one of the remaining arcs (which may fit better in a different book anyway.) Without giving away too much of the plot here’s a list of themes I drew up at the start:
Satyrika pieces
Sojourn in Egypt
Black Sun mythos
Apocalyptic visions
Hamlet
Stories from my life
Kill off the characters from my first book
Rituals
Erotica
Ocean
Dawn
Wolves
Crows and ravens
Rose/mystical flower
Spider
Sterope (2)
Harlequinade (4)
Hermes (4)
Apollon (4)
Persephone (3)
Mithras (4)
Odin (5)
Loki (4)
Sigyn (3)
Note: (+) = my tally of remaining appearances, not how many times they’re in the book. (Especially since some of them go masked.)
Can’t wait to hear what you guys think of this one. In fact I’d love for you to share any thoughts you might have on any of my books by way of reviews at Amazon or other online booksellers. Positive or negative, reviews help boost sales – especially if they’re also shared on social media.
I suspect reviews of Catharsis are going to be rather mixed, with “beautiful execution, horrible subject matter” being a popular refrain. Also, “Nazi!” Good thing I don’t plan on visiting Sweden any time soon.
Anyway, it’s back to the grind for me. I leave you with this playlist I’ve compiled for the final stretch.
Be well, my dear ones. And always honor the Gods and Spirits.
