And feathery crept krogens under the sea as gelatinous swirled the meniscus-slop - Brine drip and sluice round the planet in a bulge of starfish - spicules and suckers - rippling the lip of the shore and spindrift circling above - A great carrack rock stuck up out of the ocean and the krogens slithered onto it and started the infinitely slow process of evolution - from mollusc to man -
So there I was, walking down the road, when all of a sudden- (Open

rhythms, patterns in the cloth, the march of the mountains, a faded
colour-postcard, Kodachrome film flickering, people in outdated clothes, hats, newspapers
clutched, streets bustling with gone-people, living-only-in-film-people,
black-and-white-film-people gone drifting back in time.
Ain’t always got the
time to dream and slip into the summer meadows yesterday, dappled sunlight in
the trees, through the meadow and into the tress, drowsy with summers’ torpor
dropping like honey-flies from the leaves of the trees, glinting in the glade
so cool. Time to slip and slide to where
stupas melt in time and fjords reflect the pure sky… through the meadow and into the trees…. through the wildflower meadow, buzzing with
insects of summer grass. Into the trees,
into the trees.....

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,

The Horned Whale or An Morvil Kornek by Jeremy Schanche at all good ebook outlets - available now!
Hi folks, I'm very happy to tell you that my ebook is ready for you all to devour.
If
it’s words you want, this book’s full of ‘em…
The
Horned Whale or An Morvil Kornek is the first book by
Jeremy Schanche.It contains a short story, a full-length
novel, a novella, a collection of poetry and two glossaries.
The
Janetta Stone is a subterranean tale which explores
the origins of tin-mining and the roots of language. Set in Cornwall’s metalliferous far-west, the
story is partly based on the author’s own experiences as one of the last
generation of Cornish miners. Glimpses
of an underground past melt into the present as the man from Chyannor shows reporter Pat Vulgata around the old
‘bal’, or mine, that runs out under the sea.
The
Kramvil is a gothic novel of mystery, romance and home-made
science, set in the archaic fishing port of New Lynsmouth, circa 1911. Elias Gillpington is a young scholar, quietly
pursuing a life of learning until he encounters the elderly Lazarus Taxon and
gets drawn into his world of extraordinary experimentation. Desperate to win the love of the luminous
Constance Place, Elias pursues his fate through the foggy alleys of the Old
Quarter, while back in the lab, something is taking shape, swelling, writhing,
emerging-
The fog, the sea, the dappled sunshine and the
clacking, rooking crows are as much a part of this story as its cast of rare
characters and the stream of inexplicable phenomena through which they pass.
Gerlyvrynn
Kernouac or the Cornish
Glossary gives translations for the Cornish words which occasionally enrich
the script. Cornish is a Brythonek
language – part of Ancient British culture and pre-dating Sowsnek, or the
English language by many centuries.
International
Glossary contains words from thirty-one different languages,
ancient, medieval and modern.
Ghost-Hulk
of a Phantom takes a laconic dive into the world of a
struggling writer whose only wish is to get his book published. Determined to make a few quid before he gets
old, the fame-hungry, whimsical and volatile Arthur Buxtereide has a whale of a
time in the wacky world of publishing. A
beastly tale.
Monstrous, lyrical and dream-like, this collection
of writing from the Keltek heart-land offers rich food for those who look
within.
Jeremy
Schanche has also published over 340 papers on art and
politics which are all available free.
