James Havoc and David Conway; macabre surrealists
Whilst skimming through The Satanic Rites of Gilles de Rais at the library I came across an excerpt from James Havoc's notorious 'anti-novel' Raism. Though certainly not for everyone- the imagery therein is repellent and nightmarish in the extreme, Havoc is a true visionary and ought not to be excluded from any library of the baroque, fantastic and grotesque. Another author of interest is David Conway, whose work fuses the cosmic terror of Lovecraft with the brutal extremities of de Sade. Are there any other similar authors who combine horror with surrealism? The school of the oneiric-macabre is one I truly relish.

I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.

Re: James Havoc and David Conway; macabre surrealists
I once met James Havoc in the early 1990s. I and Ramsey Campbell appeared in the Red Stains anthology as published by his Creation Press.
