CINNABAR'S GNOSIS: A HOMAGE TO GUSTAV MEYRINK Edited by Dan T. Ghetu Illustrator: John Coulthart Publication Date: December 2009 ISBN: 978-973-7764-26-3 Sewn hardcover, limited to 350 copies, 400pp with end papers and a full-color frontispiece. ONLY A FEW COPIES REMAINING! "It is called the Cinnabar Book because that red is the colour of the garments of those who have reached the highest stage of perfection and stayed behind on earth for the salvation of mankind. Just as we cannot comprehend the meaning of a book if we just hold it in our hand or turn the pages without reading, so we will not profit from the course of our destiny if we do not grasp its meaning. Events follow each other like the pages of a book that are turned by Death; all we know is that they appear and disappear, and that with the last one the book ends. We do not even know that it keeps being opened, again and again, until we finally learn to read. And as long as we cannot read, life is for us a worthless game in which joy and sorrow mingle." - Gustav Meyrink Cinnabar's Gnosis is the first Ex Occidente Press anthology in a series of homages dedicated to European lost masters and exquisite fantasts.
