Lesser Purple Spotted Caterpillar

plain notes furl the gypsy fiddle and the band joins sideways shifting and drifting over the Carpathian mountains.  Dark wells and billows of vapour brake the light into sharp-stalagmites of a thousand brittle   bloats, shadowing tracts of cataract.  Between the turfs scutter and scuttle cling, feathery shatter and thaw.

Great Purple Spotted Caterpillar

Though it seems so long ago, I have dreams - dreams to remember and remembrance runs wild to another planet - the start of a brilliant adventure.
The plaintive notes unfurl from the gypsy fiddle and the band joins in with a sideways metallic blues, shifting and drifting like the clouds over the Carpathian mountains.  Dark swells and billows of water-vapour brake the sunlight into shark-stalactites of a thousand brittle glinting hues.  Swelling cloud-mass furls and bloats, shadowing tracts of land and cataract-white rivers.  Between the turfs beetles scutter and scuttle, lichens cling, feathery hawks and eagles soar, ice starts to crack, shatter and thaw.

Hachūrui Hatchling 爬虫類

REFLECTIONS ON THE KRAMVIL    爬虫類
Somehing’s going on between Jack Lane and Florence Place. It’s all over New Lynsmouth.  Some d’say Old Paul Hill’s not too happy about it, but I don’t know so much.  She's a good, steady woman, is Florence, even if she has got one too many of those modern ideas in her head, you can’t blame her for that.  And as for Jack, the lupine, Hackensack chicken-shack, why, he’s just off on his way now, up to Ting-a-Ling mine, with compass and plumb-line to measure the depths and check the straightness and curvature of line.  The fox in tweeds, he rustles his whiskers in laconic amusement. 
When Jack Lane chose a career in mine-surveying he was putting his love of science to practical use.  Some of his friends were more experimental in their approach to the scientific arts.  There was Paul Hill the younger, with his constant tinkering around with engines and mechanisms.  And then there was Gillpington – Elias Gillpington.  He seemed to study everything from ancient languages to flying machines.  As if this wasn’t bad enough, he fell in with that dubious relict, that self-appointed alchemist, Lazarus Taxon and got mixed up in all kinds of events of a nature both agglutinative and palpably eldritch. 

The aforementioned phenomena described and decried herein, herewith and heretofore, being mere ephemeral impressionist and half-forgotten phonograph rolls and box-camera daguerreotype images flapping briefly in eternity’s wink, we’ll say no more – what do you think?  
{The Chops of Moss reside within and characters they hide within, between the pages of a book – they wait for you to take a look – meanwhile they hang in empty space suspended in a distant place awaiting birth within the minds of readers of a hungry kind}

An Morvil Kornek / The Horned Whale by Jeremy Schanche - available at all ebook distributors, in all formats!

An Morvil Kornek or The Horned Whale, by Jeremy Schanche, available now at all major ebook distributors, in all formats...
Plug in this electronic book and take a journey round the 'Shyre' - 
Come to Penwithershins and check out the Underground as Old Janner shows Pat Vulgata round the labyrinths of the mine in The Janetta Stone.
Dark New Lynsmouth has seen many tribulations, but none so great as that set forth in The Kramvil, a gothic novel of eldritch and extraordinary phenomena which unwinds its thread through the twisting alleys of the Old Quarter.  When the studious Elias Gillpington runs into the audacious scientist Lazarus Taxon, the wings of fate soon becloud the Keltek sky.  As the shadow falls upon New Lynsmouth, Elias sees a glint of light in the presence of the beautiful Miss Constance Place.  The story pulses and pullulates with life like a seething vat of yeast infested by furious clouds of flies and wasps on a sunny day, in an ancient lithograph of old Bombay.  Potent, frothy, well-charged and heady, this electric manuscript will give you the skittering jitters and chill your rattling trotters.
The collection of Poems will most likely sneak up on yous from downwind and lasso yous off to a land of golden sunshine, rustling leaves and phonographs furling out foxtrots 'fore rustling ya rational-mind and dry-gulching yous in Tuskaloosa or somewheres or some or other such place.
Next, for the word-hungry among ye, we have a couple of glossaries to teach the tongues of talking.  First be the Gerlyvryn Kernouac which explains some words of the ancient Cornish language which appear in the stories.  Then we have the International Glossary which covers words from overseas, ancient and modern, as well as some archaic forms of Sowsnek, or 'English'.  
For our closing act, we have Ghost-Hulk of a Phantom, a darkly comic portrait of a struggling writer - a halucinatory roulade of oceanic fervour - a splattering of adrenalin on a canvas of vast cabbage-fields.  
To cut a John Dory short and chase the choice cuts I gotta say that An Morvil Kornek or The Horned Whale is the kind of book the lack of which would crook and rook up your reading-life by an absence of the positive presence of its very special form of effervescence.  
There's 21 different ebook distributors selling The Horned Whale, including  Amazon, Apple (itunes), Baker and Taylor Blio, Baker-Taylor Axis 360, Barnes and Noble, Diesel, Flipkart, Gardners Extended Retail, Gardners Library, Inktera (formerly Page Foundry), Kobo, Library Direct, Odilo, OverDrive, Oyster, Scribd, Smashwords, Sony, Tolino, txtr, Yuzu, etc..  so there's a version out there to suit everyone.....  what follows are just a few of them - I'll put up the rest as they 'go live'...

If you enjoy An Morvil Kornek or The Horned Whale, please print out some flyers, cut them up an pass them around - spread the words...  Also, please link to this page on your social sites...  
Why not go totally hog-wild and print out a poster for ya home or the twisting back-alleys of your juddering home-town, ya sprawling metropolis or ya muddy one-horse village-street?
Hope you like the stories!  And remember, you can't judge a rook by its plover.  Take it easy now, but take it!
