Dear friends,

I do not believe there is an ideal time to start something new, indeed. So, I am proud to present Raphus Press's new editorial adventure: the Raphus Novellas. A brand new series focused on new authors, innovative (brief) stories and new vistas in the narrative field. In this sense, THE SECRETARIAT OF TENEBROUS ANATOMIES, by Karim Ghahwagi, came up as an extraordinary showcase. A unique and exquisite blend of a novella (in a Kafkaesque sense) and board game and ritualistic celebration, something to read and to taste. A package with two books: the novella and the rulebook, plus a wonderful poster (that can be used as a board for the game) designed by Bethany White. A great experience for all readers. And for the Raphus loyal customers, this experience will be sold at a substantial discount: only US$ 85.00, without the postal costs in the promotional pre-sales campaign.

More information on the Raphus website and in our catalogue as well.

Best,

Alcebiades

“Only” USD 85 ...

Unfortunately, to publish anything (especially a package with two books and a poster, illustrated by a professional artist) there are expenses, some of them considerable... I swear that if it were not for them, I would offer this material for free.

The two new Raphus Pamphlets arrived: The Aporia of the Aphorism​ (my creation) and The Itinerant follows me (by Jonathan Wood). Some photos below. These small but surprising volumes will soon be shipped as a gift to the first 15 buyers of the last two volumes of the series Spiritual Meaning of the Massacres.

Best,

Al

Fellows,

Some news on the Secretariat, our next great release:

1) We start a new blog, named Bibliomania, in which we will present the production process of Secretariat (and our future books). The first post is about Karim’s notebook with the first notes on the metaphysical matter that will forge the book and the game.

2) As a gift, the first fifteen buyers will receive in the Secretariat package a new series of Raphus pamphlets, entitled The Bestiary. The first volume in the series will be a creation of mine, I'll be your mirror, and you'll be my mirror. The cover follows attached to this message.

My best,

Alcebiades

Ordered Secretariat, but you should know that although the "Buy Now" option takes you to PayPal, it's not actually listed as a buying option, hence the initial confusion.

I will try to fix this, so thank you for the observation.

Dear Friends,

And the research, test, discussion on “Secretariat” following its continuous stream – because the world made by Karim Ghahwagi in this novella/rulebook has astonishing complexity.
