Combining the aesthetic motifs and arcane mechanics of vintage electronic gaming with the gnostic exaltation of ancient and modern occultism, this is fiction as Metroidvania: nonlinear exploration in the search for keys and secrets. Murphy’s rich prose is like a cheat code from a half-remembered dream (or nightmare)… where sadomasochistic rites combine with vector angels and spectral wolf-sprites in mazes with flickering walls…  “The stories in this book hearken back to the days of the ZX Spectrum, Atari 2600, and early Nintendo consoles of the 8 and 16 bit eras. By calling back to these earlier systems with their graphical limitations, Murphy is invoking primal childhood experiences with the mystical otherworlds flickering behind CRT screens.”—Justin Isis, from his introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWritten by:  \u003c\/b\u003eJeremy Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist by:  \u003c\/b\u003eLe BLUE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover Artist by:  \u003c\/b\u003e Mario Foccillo \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Church Ghost","offers":[{"title":"Approx.
