Non-Fiction
Why is it that the short period of time from the middle of April until May the 1st seems to be such a turbulent and tragic period, replete with disasters, revolutionary events and coups, terror attacks, mass murders, and the birth and death date of such notorious figures as Hitler and Lenin, Oppenheimer and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? The date of April 30th is considered one of the high, most unholy days of the Satanic calendar, the following day, a holiday for Marxists and revolutionary socialists. This small booklet documents this weird "Black Corridor" of time, and has been highly praised by the editors of Vocal.

What would possess a man to exhume the body of a freshly dead woman, and to painstakingly reconstruct it, piece by decaying piece, over a period of years? That is the question posed by this book, a study in the psychopathology of famous necrophiles, grave robbers, and death-worshipers in history as well as contemporary times. Using the subject of the crimes committed by men such as Carl von Cosel Tanzler and Sergeant Bertrand, The Men Who Loved the Dead is more than just a true crime potboiler; it's a meditation on grief, loss, memory, celebrity and the cult of the dead. Why? it seems to ask, do we memorialize and even fetishize those that have passed on? Are we all virtual necrophiles? Author C. Augustine examines that question with a piercing, penetrating gaze, giving the reader a literary work that is as thought-provoking as it is disturbing.

Why do they rape, ravage, and kill? what sinister forces drives the sickening appetites of some of the foulest and most evil, primitive minds ever to walk the Earth? That is the question posed by this little book, an exploration of ten of the most dark and troubling minds ever to be born. Ghoulish and gruesome, and yet, not without a certain "penny dreadful" charm, this book has been loved and read for over a decade.
