Magus Books

The final desperate mote of electronic light left on this scattered wailing earth will in the rubble and brimstone be playing an "InstaGram Reel" with a man being rolled down a steep hill in a trash can. The man will be gone. The trash service will have been discontinued. His digital imprint will remain until even that pitiful remembrance of the time before is, at last, snubbed out by the gnaw of a hungry dog who thought the iPhone was a brick of missile-charred steak.

Buuuuuut Magus Books is happy to be your bulk entertainment supplier for the end-times :) Come buy some books from us ok!!!

Basically I'm letting you know in case you didn't know.

Here a few new books we got in today :) All are for sale now here at Magus Books!!

RAAAAAH👹👹👹👹👹HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We just got a large swath of new horror, and I have no reason to expect there may not be more on the way. They are weird and strange horrors of ancient times, ones that have been very rare to see here, and ones that will probably go quickly as the ravenous horror fans come to eat up our current variety of style. We have CLIVE BARKERS, we have JOE LANSDALES, we got PLAYING CARDS that have CREEPIES ON THEM... one of my favorites is our "INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS" FOTONOVEL... which is basically all of the scenes from the movie transferred into pictures in the book, including all dialogue and story beats minus, obviously, the sound cues, as it's a book. That one's not new, but no one's bought it which doesn't make much sense to me. PLUS MUCH MORE :) Come and ask for any of these titles here at Magus Books 🧙‍♂️👻⚰

NOW available! "Baldwin: A Love Story" by Nicholas Boggs. At the Magus Annex in Wallingford.

This James Baldwin biography is hot off the presses in paperback, and has been a smash-hit with reviewers.

From the publishers: "A Love Story tells the overlapping stories of James Baldwin’s most sustaining with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac.

This biography shows for the first time how Baldwin drew on complex structures within these relationships—geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic—and alchemized them into art that spoke truth to power and had an indelible impact on the Civil Rights Movement and on Black and q***r literary history. "
