Pserpent Psalms

 This weekend, because some of the students in my workshop were doing a 10,000 word weekend, I decided to do 10,000 words myself. And while I had some projects that might have been cool to work on, I decided I might try something new.  Like a chapbook of magickal thought, flash fiction and poetry done via free association, meditation and ritual. Pserpent Psalms features 108 Pserpent Psalms, pieces of advice, spiritual reflections, poems and meditations for fans of mysticism and Bizarro thought. I am selling PDFs of Pserpent Psalms for 1.08, a penny per piece, which I don't think is such a bad deal. So if you're a fan, a seeker or just a curious person, you can download it below. The Pserpent Psalms now features an introduction by Don Webb, fantasy and horror author, occult scholar and former High Priest of the Temple of Set. I am honored to have it and it lends much depth and context to the material.

Update: Much to my pleasure and surprise, Alan M. Clark author of Thimble and Threat, the Life of a Ripper victim read the Pserpent Psalms and said this, which I am very happy to hear:

Pserpent Psalms by Garrett Cook puts me in mind of William Blake’s “Proverbs of Hell.” But while Blake’s proverbs are an expression of the need to allow the energy and abandon of our animal nature to coexist with spiritual discipline, Cook’s psalms seem to give us the experience of doing just that, demanding consideration from both the rational mind, which seeks to make sense of the surreal passages, and the subconscious, which revels in the spontaneous dream-like quality of the writing.
