ELECTRO-ETHERIC MINOTAUR TP
Writer: Damian Murphy
Artist: Le BLUE
Cover Artist: Le BLUE
The six stories and novellas in The Electro-Etheric Minotaur collect all of Damian Murphy’s “occult retro-gaming fiction”—including two previously unpublished tales— along with newly commissioned illustrations by Le.BLUE. 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
