Regular reminder that JG Ballard’s final novel, “Kingdom Come” (2006), is about a far-right English town which creates their own militarised breakaway state in a shopping mall, where they worship the gods of St George and consumerism. Old JG wrote it as tongue-in-cheek satire. At the time.

(2/2) The pamphlet was published quickly on cheap paper which means very copies have survived. This one's up for sale on the lull books website next month. (Btw the Fascists were outvoted 128 to 5 💪🏻) #antifascism

When the Spanish Civil War started in 1937 the Left Review asked writers if they were for the Republic or Franco. 148 replied inc. Wells, Beckett, Waugh, Crowley, Eliot. With its limited word count, hot takes and trolling (Beckett, 3rd pic) this pamphlet feels like early 20thC social media!! (1/2)

Couple of copies of the groundbreaking early 20th century literary/art journal Transition. Joan Miro, Brancusi, and Kafka in a 1936 issue. And James Joyce dropping fragments of work-in-progress Finnegans Wake in a slightly beaten 1927 issue! Still feels fresh. #modernism #surrealism #rarebooks

An extraordinary production filled with the Gothic florescences of late spiritualism, written (almost solely by Spearman-Cook) in lavish, exuberant language just beyond the edge of intelligibility, copiously illustrated with images adapted from from old books, Crowley, Osman Spear etc.

Here's a little more info from IAPSOP (International Association for the Preservation of Occult Periodicals): This was the organ of the School of Universal Philosophy and Healing ("SUPH") organized in 1946 by the medium Gladys Spearman-Cook (Violet Gladys Isabella Gardner Spearman Cook, 1900-1982).

Who was the headline writer for the Occult Gazette? Mystifying esoterica from legendary medium, Gladys I. Spearman-Cook in this 70s zine. In lull books' rare zines dept. ANY magazine, pamphlet or booklet that's driven by an obsessive vision of the world qualifies. #occult #zine #esoteric

Got a lovely run of original 1950s Exotique magazines in. Beautifully designed and illustrated fetish from the minds of Leonard Burtman, Eric Stanton et al. Dazzling dominatrixes abound. (We've also got the very nice Taschen reprint set if you can't stretch to an original.) #S&M #fetish #art #zine

INK is a countercultural paper from the late 60s/early 70s that never gets the same love as OZ and IT. Unfairly so IMO. Hot issues. Good writing. Killer graphics. A tasty cocktail of sex, drugs and politics. We've got a big run of issues up for sale on the website when it's live in September...

Occult Laff Parade. A 1973 underground comic satirising the burgeoning 70s counterculture love for magick and satanism Justin Green, Rory Hayes & Rick Griffin. (And a Crowley cameo!) Lots of undergrounds on our eBay store (lull_books) and on the website when it manifests in Sept. ✊ #comix #occult

Here're a few 80s zines that will be up on the website next month... ZG was a large format magazine straight out of the Blitz Kids era with an arch attitude and a post-structuralist bent. Fashion. Sex. Architecture. Post-punk. And a great Vivienne Westwood interview!! #zines #1980s #punk #sex

Here's an obscure book from a forgotten countercultural voice. 'Kienholz 1960/1970' Edward Kienholz was a US installation artist/sculptor. Reviled at home and loved in Europe. A fantastically grim set of assemblages and also a tactile feast with its leather cover and metal spine and back cover.

Thought I’d preview a few things that'll be up on the website next month. Here’s a beauty. 'Underground Graphics'. 1970. An iconic collection of counterculture art from the pages of Oz and International Times. This is the hardback edition featuring 2-colour versions of art by Sharp, Hurford et al.

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered. It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

You cannot hack a mail in ballot.
You can't keep a mail in ballot in line all day.
You can't tell a mail in ballot the machines aren't working.
This is why Trump is so DESPERATE to stop mail in voting.
