The 'Scriptus Innominatus' book is really the launch of the Megazanthus Press - with the background of 'Nemonymous' in past years whereby exactly 100 original stories from new and old writers have so far been published and paid for.
MEGAZANTHUS PRESS
Proud to be the smallest Small Press of all
=============
You may be interested in knowing that 'megazanthus' is a word I invented in 2003 as a hybrid of 'magazine' and 'anthology' coupled with below...
Me-gaza-nth-us
Me: the cult of 'me' ... as denied by Nemo
Gaza: Eyeless In ...(as in Aldous Huxley) ... I-less?
nth: to the nth degree - symbolic of infinity
Us: the Jungian archetype of ourness and timelessness and collaboration and shared universes
"The nemo is an evolutionary force, as necessary as the ego. The ego is certainty, what I am; the nemo is potentiality, what I am not. But instead of utilizing the nemo as we would utilize any other force, we allow ourselves to be terrified by it, as primitive man was terrified by lightning. We run screaming from this mysterious shape in the middle of our town, even though the real terror is not in itself, but in our terror at it."
-- John Fowles (from 'The Necessity of Nemo' in 'The Aristos' 1964) |
