In Nietzsche's Footsteps is a fascinating, vicarious journey through Nietzsche's favorite haunts: Nice, France; Turin, Italy; and Sils Maria, Switzerland. Within the author's personal reflection lies a pragmatic rumination on the many aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy that arise throughout the voyage. What does it mean to remain an individual while nurturing the bonds that make life worth living, chiefly those we have with family? Along the way, we explore this quandary as well as the foundational elements of Nietzsche's philosophy, considering the ways in which our own culture may or may not have followed in his ever-reverberating footsteps.

In a book that will appeal to academics and enthusiasts alike, Nietzsche's complex philosophical ideas are accessibly framed as they arise in the day-to-day, so that we may tackle the question of what it is to lead a meaningful life, both as individuals and alongside those we love.

THE BLASPHEMOUS BIBLE by Craig Wells

"The entire King James bible written irreverently and satirically."
Rewritten in their entirety, these blasphemous new and old testaments are an attempt at a reversal of morals--a dialectical approach to the truth in which the opposite is mirrored against the established with the goal of producing a new transcendent truth uniting the two contradictory views.

"The entire King James bible written irreverently and satirically.""

“. . . a means of challenging zealots to read their own holy books and possibly force them to consider the harder questions and contradictions contained therein, the author decided to rewrite the Bible. Years of indefatigable work later, The Blasphemous Bible was created. All the many stories, verses, and ‘facts’ contained in the Bible are here rewritten with no apology for the obvious wickedness, cruelties, atrocities, and overall unbelievable fallacies it may be said to chronicle.”

Afropunk features "God's Wife and the Synonymous X" by Jesse Chase

Novel explores how imperialism & racism erase History, and how to decolonize our minds...Novel explores how imperialism & racism erase History, and how to decolonize our minds...

God’s Wife and the Synonymous X is the first novel by writer Jesse Chase. An existential novel that follows a male protagonist while they try to develop a new analytical methodology for decolonizing the black mind as it pertains to “inhuman ideologies and oppressive technologies”.

An experimental piece of semi-autobiographical fiction, the prose read as a version of stream of consciousness that defies standard (read: Western) grammar standards and formatting and slipping into poetic stanzas at will.

“the characters deal with homelessness, mental health issues, latent shamanism, the streets, police, dismantling patriarchy, identifying the origin of slut shaming of god’s wife, the last western goddess before monotheism asherah aka ishtar aka esther aka mary aka the black madonna. the book is a tribute to the black madonna as a symbol of alterity,” Chase tells AFROPUNK.com

Cultural Weekly on Darren C. Demaree's "Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly"

"Within each section, each sequence, readers are given new discoveries, internal and external.... Within each section, each sequence, readers are given new discoveries, internal and external.... "

"From many shifting shapes and senses, to many steadfast directions, to pieces leaving keys to rituals, Many full hands applauding inelegantly manages to be meditative and ponderous even as it is driven by a frenetic energy."

God's Wife and the Synonymous X - Released!

8th House Publishing is proud to announce the release of Jesse Chase's first novel, "God's Wife and the Synonymous X'.
Get your copy today!

"God’s Wife and the Synonymous X", Jesse Chase's first novel follows the protoganist on his search for a new cultural and literary theory. Finding all of history and culture appropriated by imperialist and racist perspectives inimical to his own self, he must construct his own program of decolonization and dismantle the philosophic mindspace of the inhuman ideologies and oppressive technologies he has inherited.

"A brave, fresh work that champions an ethics of self-recovery and rehabilitation of personal narrative in a world of masks, capitalism and oppression."

God’s Wife and the Synonymous X is the first in a series of three books in different genres: (1) a novel, (2) a book of critical, cultural and literary theory as an assassination attempt on philosophy and the hegemonies; of cultural appropriation by inhuman ideology and oppressive technology, and (3) a treatment of the process of the making of the first two books; as these literary processes are an experiment in the ethics of self-recovery, and recovery of personal narrative in a world of masks, capitalism and oppression.

EMPIRE BURLESQUE by Charles Talkoff

Call it America. Vast the tumble-rocket-particle-wave shows the world in a rush to arrive deparpt and become and forget and remember everything all at once. Call it history. Call it time and memory the way water is the measure of the clock your bones the measure of love. I mean everything passes. I said the earth is a sentry, everything passes and nothing escapes. Call it home; call it exile in a kingdom of rain. - Empire Burlesque, Charles Talkoff 

The first novel in an upcoming trilogy, "Empire Burlesque" is an attempt at reaching a realism with modernity, finding a continuity in fractured timelines and significance in chaos in a world in which these very things--realism, continuity and significance--have been deconstructed and possibly destroyed. In this "Empire Burlesque" of modernity, many things occur in the novel (life) with no apparent significance until imbued with meaning by the subject (us) and narrative authority (authority) itself is assailed by arbitrary, chaotic and decentralizing forces. This means the plot (political framing) to the extent one exists, may be ignored or contradicted and information might arrive to intrude into the narrative for no apparent reason and with no obvious connection to the events in the story. Welcome to the modern, schizoid, fragmented,unhinged burlesque empire that the West has become where Trumpian characters define reality and distort reason. An existential detective story with Theseus and the Minotaur as characters, taking on the many forms of man versus beast, citizen versus state, liberty versus control, "Empire Burlesque" renders our modernity with all its farcical, Faustian fog.
