Back/Spine/Front Cover Design

 
A demonstration of Castanien’s propensity for atmospheric and sexually destructive prose, UNDER VOMIT HOWL propels us through an inner world ripped apart by its own thirst for ecstasy. This short story is a provocative and visually stunning work that stretches the limits of language as we unravel, slip, and explode through the fabric of consciousness itself.

Back/Spine/Front Cover Design

In this powerful piece of experimental literature, Castanien explores the darker irrationals of the human condition through an inventive use of language, form, and bizarre plot devices. Filled with dense atmospheres of savage prose and monstrous descriptions of the human body, we witness the un-hinged energy of love, murderous rage, and the psychopathic possibilities of power, obsession, and escape.

An enthralling collection of short stories that explore our barbaric impulses by removing the socialized shell of humanity. Employing primarily internal dialogues and first person narratives, FUCKFEST drags us into a space absent of place, names, and the world beyond our own mind. Trapped in repetitious pains and desires, we’re held hostage by a world constructed of memory and sexual impulses.
