Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16265 ratings)

Description:From the ashes of countless decayed Modernities comes Neo-Decadence, a profaned cathedral whose broken stained glass windows still glitter irregularly in the harsh light of a Symbolist sun. Behind this marvellously vandalised edifice, a motley band of revellers picnic in the graveyard of the Real, leaving behind all manner of rotting delicacies and toxic baubles in their wake. During the last eighty years, world culture has seen an explosion of popular aesthetics, art-forms and the movements associated with them: clothing, trends in fashion, tattoos, recreational drugs, musical sub-cultures, cosmetics, photography--all of which can be the subject of obsessions, damnations and salvations. Devices and formats, initially vulgar, are worshipped, only to be forgotten by all but the few initiates who, through their maniacal fixations, manage to uncover their hidden allure. These twelve stories and their preceding manifestos, then, arise from a shift in aesthetic consciousness: synaesthesia, ecstasy in extremes, the Divine and Infernal alike seen through a neurasthenic lens of supreme focus.Daniel Corrick - IntroductionBrendan Connell - First Manifesto of Neo-DecadenceJustin Isis - Second Manifesto of Neo-DecadenceBrendan Connell - Molten RageJustin Isis - The Quest for Nail ArtDamian Murphy - A Mansion of SapphireYarrow Paisley - Arnold of Our TimeUrsula Pflug - Fires HalfwayColby Smith - Somni DraconisColin Insole - The MeddlersDP Watt - JackAvalon Brantley - Great Seizers' GhostsDaniel Corrick - Chameleon is to Peacock as Salamander is to PhoenixQuentin S.
