Overview

"From the author of Liber Exuvia and Vitiators comes an ergodic occult epic that Justin Isis calls ""a typographic-pictorial provocation"" and ""an unclassifiable novelistic artifact [that] updates classic esoterica with an appropriate level of technical frenzy for our current epoch."" Elytron Frass's MOIETIES unleashes five concurrent narratives, each set in alternate gnostic realities that conceal as much as they reveal and contraindicate as much as they converge. A book with such a vengeful design philosophy that it demands to be read forwards, backwards, and all at once. ""With shamanic abandon,"" says Logan Berry, ""Frass demonstrates that, in the digital era, novels need not revel in their obsolescence; instead, they can molt into something multiplicitous, bold, and new. MOIETIES is a relentless, visionary work that doesn't ask for a skim; it demands your attention. And, once it has you gripped, it won't be read; it will be activated."""

"""How far shall we go to be reunited, even if it should destroy us? This is the question at the heart of Elytron Frass's Moieties, a meditation on the mystical dictum that pure being, the immediate oneness of Pleroma, is for us indistinguishable from absolute nothing. In pursuit of this revelation, Moieties pushes past the formal and material limits of the novel itself, which must be read forwards, backwards, and out of sequence if the inquisitive reader is to extract its truth. This work transpires in a mise en abyme, in two parts which mir ror one another and converge on a central point that can only be inferred from its reflections. Though we glimpse it askew, the halves fuse in a Gnostic syzygy, in which the separations of inner and outer, one and other, love and death, come crashing together into oblivion."" // Gregory Marks ""An ero guro dark fantasia set in a sprawling gnostic open world, Elytron Frass's Moieties is a complex artefact. A cornucopia of rich imagery, archetypes, and design, it thematizes symmetry and simultaneity through an intricate interweaving of form and content. Five concurrent narratives blossom across the pages together, like a necrotic fairytale garden whose evil flowers meet and melt and meld together, in an orgiastic rite of spring. With sha manic abandon, Frass demonstrates that, in the digital era, novels need not revel in their obsolescence; instead, they can molt into something multiplicitous, bold, and new. Moieties is a relentless, visionary work that doesn't ask for a skim; it demands your attention. And, once it has you gripped, it won't be read; it will be activated."" // Logan Berry ""Moieties, Elytron Frass's ergodic occult assault, is a Gnostic parable of the 'ultimate completeness of in completion, ' and a physical marvel of typographic-pictorial provocation. Sustained by two opposing yet interlinked narratives that mirror both the interaction of cerebral hemispheres and the divided dance of a primal couple-sister-brother, wife-husband, savior-destroyer-this unclassifiable novelistic artifact updates classic esoterica with an appropriate level of technical frenzy for our current epoch, and in the process renders most current 'Occult Fiction' irrelevant."" // Justin Isis ""Moieties: each of two parts into which a thing is or can be divided; division into two social or ritual groups; a part or portion, especially a lesser share. 'I laid my palm on the landmass - its leery eyes, a garden of televisions, signalling in scrambled alien pornography.' These are fetish rites of disinheritance amid the Great Arcana, the preordained misbegotten, reason's submind, obscure word-talismans of another lore, fractured shibboleths, minor-key incantations of nameless spirits, paths through mechanical wildernesses of human data less travelled. Elytron Frass's MOIETIES performs Low Mass for a schismed underculture slouching towards its Bethlehem, there to give succor to this aborted world. // Louis Armand"
