Et Sic In Infinitum

A catalog could be more than a practical, functional reference tool. It could be a passage to another world just in its apparently clean and moderate categorizations. This strange item, a veritable manual for finding another world through secret passages in the most rational ordering, was produced by Raphus Press: Et Sic in Infinitum, the publisher's catalog from its first year (2016) to the last year of the pandemic chaos at the new Century (2022), a veritable canon of all the impure rites printed on paper by us in this period. This survey of evils has, on the other hand, some fictional reflections, about the book: its production, value as an object (part of collection or instrument to the revelation) and availability for ecstasy; these reflections were written by Jonathan Wood, Brian Evenson (in extraordinary unpublished short stories) and the duo John Howard / Mark Valentine, in the short story “On Art”, a masterpiece published in our tribute to Jorge Luis Borges, release years ago and today a very rare book.
