    "Nothing like Maze of the Blue Medusa has come along before. Each element is near perfect. And I dare hazard to say that the entire thing is greater still than the sum of its parts... Maze of the Blue Medusa is in some higher tier than The Best."
    —Bryce Lynch, TenFootPole

    Maze of the Blue Medusa is a dungeon. Maze of the Blue Medusa is art. Maze of the Blue Medusa works with your favorite fantasy tabletop RPGs. And Maze of the Blue Medusa is the madly innovative game book from the award-winning Zak Sabbath of A Red & Pleasant Land and Patrick Stuart of Deep Carbon Observatory. Lethal gardens, soul-rending art galleries, infernal machines—Maze of the Blue Medusa reads like the poetic nightmare of civilizations rotted to time, and plays like a puzzle-box built from risk and weird spectacle.

    "Johanna Hedva’s On Hell does what others only speculate about... [it] rearranges the components that make up our stories about how the world works, adjusts our vision."

    Named one of Dennis Cooper's faves of 2018.
    On Hell transcribes a body broken by American empire, that of ex-con Rafael Luis Estrada Requena, hacking itself away from contemporary society. Johanna Hedva, author of "Sick Woman Theory," takes the ferocious compulsion to escape (from capitalism, from the limits of the body-machine, from Earth) and channels it into an evisceration of oppression and authority. Equal parts tender and brutal, romantic and furious, On Hell is a novel about myths that trick and resist totalitarianism.
