Synopsis
In the terrifying confession that makes up Heqet, the new and hypnotic novel by Brendan Connell, an author whose name has become synonymous with contemporary Decadent literature, the reader is treated to pages of anguish and extravagance as they follow the delirium-strewn path of the protagonist Félix, a fatal and failed anti-hero like few others. Poisoning himself with designer drugs and alchemical wishes, he traverses Swiss and other European territories, tracing out tessellations of evil in his deliberations and visions.
Also included in this book is a selection of a dozen short, spectacular vignettes and tales under the heading “Ghosts”, nine of which have never before appeared elsewhere.

Heqet: together with a selection of Ghosts
Seller: THE BOOKSNIFFER, Lewes, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. Limited Edition. Another superb limited edition from Egaeus, the small press that is reliably excellent. The limitation is not stated, so I assume that classification means there is only one printing, as with all the other issues. Egaeus do not issue books in jackets; this is a quietly exemplary addition to the publisher's highly collectable series. Seller Inventory # ABE-1648218744683
