A quick update on behalf of Alcebiades:

The Board - First Glimpses - RAPHUS PRESS

"Imaginary maps are games. Or better: conceptual mazes, projected forms of our mind to seize the topographical space in its all glory: probably infinite and wild.
And so here we go with the first glimpses of the map/board by Bethany White for the Secretariat game. Not just some illustrations for a extraordinary idea. But a new lifeform, perhaps."

Dear friends,

here, some pictures of the last works at Raphus graphical (and infernal) forge for the SECRETARIAT package.

More soon.

Best,

I'm delighted to see the E(xtinction) graphic novel is going to be published. After everything went a bit quiet following the initial announcement (I seem to recall there being a YouTube video advertising it) I had begun to fear that it was no longer a going concern. I shall definitely pre-order a copy if/when finances allow.

Dear friends

Hurrah! Finally, "Non-Syncopated Alignments and Corporeal Jurisdictions (Stories)” is already between us (as the photos below testify). The first packages (book + audioCD) will be sent today. There are some copies in the Raphus website (Non-Syncopated Alignments - RAPHUS PRESS) but this book is a quick seller

Márcio at the infernal Sol Negro offices, by his turn, was furiously working in the Rhys Hughes “Mombasa Madrigal” (the first series, in fact, is already sold out). There will be some surprises in the final package, indeed.

Stay tuned for at least two new Raphus announcements in the next few days.

Best wishes,

Alcebiades

Dear friends

Finally, "Mombasa Madrigal" gets its final form. The Japanese binding is really wonderful, indeed, as all of you can see in the attached photos.

Dear friends

Raphus Press proudly presents its two new releases (scheduled for late February, early March): ELDORADO and Wastelands, as you can see here: RAPHUS PRESS - New Releases.

ELDORADO, the last piece of the trilogy The Ashes of the Cities. This last collection, inspired by the feverish visions of terrestrial paradises in new, fierce lands, has tales by Krzysztof Fijalkowski, Luiz Nazario and a photo-narrative inspired by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, with photos by Fernando Klabin. And as usual a wonderful shot by Fábio Waki in the cover. More information: ELDORADO - RAPHUS PRESS.

Wastelands, a hard cover collection – third Raphus Précis volume – of three stories about objective and subjective landscapes razed by machines created for the mind and the earth. More information: Wastelands - RAPHUS PRESS.

The two new books, as usual, will be handcrafted and carefully produced by Sol Negro (ELDORADO) and Forma Certa (Wastelands), our partners in crime. Wastelands has a special gifted for free: the handcrafted The Alphabet for Novices and Initiates, a curious (or eerie) experience with this kind of literature for children. Every book will be followed by a letter (from A to Z), specially composed and unique.

But the year is only begin – stay tuned for some great release announcements soon.

And, finally, please collaborate as best you can with Raphus – purchasing the books or commenting on or publicizing the releases. Every help is welcome.

Best wishes,

Alcebiades

Dear friends

And them, Mombasa Madrigal (MOMBASA MADRIGAL - RAPHUS PRESS) is among us! The full package: the book, by Rhys Hughes + a diaphanous poster + the "narrative bookmark", an invention by Rhys.

But hurry up! There are only one book available.

Best wishes,

Yeah, I preordered Interiors around the same time as you ordered the above.
Being a new press (for me) I still have a wait-n-see attitude.
I believe it ships this month.
Hopeful.

Only seven copies left of the ultra-limited deluxe collector's edition of my next book ARMS AGAINST A SEA are left for pre-order. Seek out and contact Raphus Press if you are interested in securing one of these remaining ten. The same publisher did a wonderful job with my Mombasa Madrigal book.

Raphus Press

This limited edition has distinctive production values. It is a perfect square in format (7.87 × 7.87 in.), 90 pages, with a exclusive, painfully handcrafted Japanese binding style. Only 25 will ever be printed. Fifteen have already been pre-ordered.

Thanks for listening!
