New interview about Jünger’s Godenholm

August 16, 2016

I was recently interviewed by Júlio Mendes Rodrigo for a Portuguese Ernst Jünger anthology. The interview has now been published in English at Julio’s excellent blog Die Elektrischen Vorspiele. You can enjoy it at his site or just keep reading right here… ULTIMA INSULA – AN INTERVIEW WITH CARL ABRAHAMSSON “Besuch auf Godenholm” (“Visit to Godenholm”) is a 1952 novella by the German writer Ernst Jünger. The book was published in English in 2015 by Edda Publishing. Ernst Jünger’s masterful prose has been translated from German by Annabel Moynihan. This edition also contains an introduction by Ernst Jünger expert Elliot Neaman and illustrations by Fredrik Söderberg. “Visit to Godenholm” is edited by Carl Abrahamsson, a Swedish writer and film-maker who’s also worked with photography and music as artistic expressions. He edits and publishes the annual occultural journal “The Fenris Wolf”, which collects material from the colourful grey area between art and esotericism...

Two new Trapart Books available now!

July 1, 2016

Two very special treats are now available from Trapart Books. The first one, which is in stock right now, is California Infernal – Anton LaVey & Jayne Mansfield as portrayed by Walter Fischer. This is an amazing photo book with pictures taken by German paparazzo Walter Fischer during his time in California during the 1950s-70s. Movie star Jayne Mansfield and notorious Satanist Anton LaVey met in 1966. Both were publicity conscious and made the most of the meetings, which evolved into friendship. Almost always present was German paparazzo Walter Fischer, stationed in Hollywood and catering to image- and scandal-hungry photo magazines all over the world. Fischer’s unique collection of photos takes us straight into the ritual chamber of the Church of Satan in LaVey’s infamous “black house” in San Francisco, as well as into Mansfield’s Hollywood “pink palace”. We also get to follow LaVey on excursions to his friend Forrest “Famous Monsters of Filmland” Ackerman, to...

Filming with Gea Philes

June 29, 2016

On a recent trip to New York I filmed some interviews with the wonderful Chilean-American artist Gea Philes. This will be used in my An Art Apart series of artists’ portraits. Her delightfully kinky drawings of girls in various degrees of distress, dominance and depraved debauchery are so great someone should turn them into a book. Oh wait, Timeless just did! Their edition of Gea’s Penetralia book is so beautiful and well produced that it needs to be on every genuinely kinky bookshelf. With inspiration from people like Trevor Brown and Stu Mead, Gea has developed a style of her own in both form and content. The result is a wild and crazy trip into kinky girl-land. What’s not to like? The interviews reveal a lot about Gea’s creative processes and I look forward to sharing them in this as yet untitled documentary film, to be released in 2017. For now, you should get her book and also check out her site.
