KING SATYR (a novel) by RON WEIGHELL
Nearly twenty five years in the making, Sarob Press is absolutely honoured and thrilled to, at long last, present KING SATYR, a novel by RON WEIGHELL. Ron first mentioned the novel in his introduction to the Ghost Story Press edition of his collection THE WHITE ROAD (1997) and, when Ron sadly passed away in December of last year, he left the novel almost* complete.
*there are a very few small sections which Ron told Fran he might have expanded slightly, but
missing these, in no way, hampers the story or the otherwise smooth flow of the
novel.
In Ron's Afterword to KING SATYR he
shares a discovery from his research into Mayan folk magic: ‘...there is
an animal companion or familiar, associated with the Shamanistic opening
of the portals of the Underworld, called the Wahy or Weyhel. One of the
most powerful forms of the Weyhel is the Scribano, or writer. This kind of
Weyhel is considered immortal, because even after death he can create himself
anew with a piece of paper. He can reinvent himself by writing himself
into existence.’
Ron’s wife Fran has, with help and input from author Mark Valentine and
Robert Morgan of Sarob Press, worked tirelessly to bring this project to
fruition and to present it in a beautiful edition for the author's very many
admirers. Featuring characters who will be familiar to fans of THE WHITE ROAD,
this Austin Osman Spare inspired Alphonsus Gaunt/Nicholas Hallam novel,
charting the occult and pagan history and experiences of mystic seeker Cyrus
Burton, and mostly set in the darkly satanic 1960s/1970s, is presented in a Sewn
Hardcover Edition which, we hope, Ron would have very much approved of.
Titling font, and all the art by NICK MALORET, were chosen and
agreed upon with Ron and Fran before he sadly passed away.
Introduced by Fran Weighell. Afterword by Ron Weighell. Includes a
detailed Bibliography of Ron’s writings.
