A Demonology of Desires, by Joe Grim Feinberg (digital)

$12.50

(this is the digital version. For the print editions, see this link)

The Rejected Dissertation of the Notoriously Disgraced Folklorist Joseph Geistberg

Found in his apartment the morning of December 31, 2022, after he was taken to the hospital, Joseph Geistberg’s PhD dissertation appeared to be nothing of the sort. Were his personal accounts of pale mountain demons in Communist China, ghostly sky spirits in the South Pacific, suffocating hags in Slovakian villages, and nefarious experiments beneath the streets of Prague true? And why did so many of the women he claimed to encounter all have the same name?

A Demonology of Desires: The Rejected Dissertation of the Notoriously Disgraced Folklorist Joseph Geistberg is the thrilling fiction debut of writer Joe Grim Feinberg.

About the Author

Joe Grim Feinberg is a writer and social theorist based in Prague, Czech Republic. His work explores the outcast and the unrecognized in modern society, at the intersection between radical politics and folk storytelling. His essays have appeared in academic and popular journals, and his play Praise Boss! was published by Charles H. Kerr in 2022. A Demonology of Desires is his first novel.

  • Rich in style and deep in erudition, A Demonology of Desires immediately locates Feinberg in the illustrious tradition of Nabokov, Borges, Calvino and Cortazar. A wonderfully inventive, compulsively readable and brilliantly controlled feat of gothic imagination.

    — Carl Neville, literary critic at Tribune, author of Eminent Domain, and editor at Repeater Books

    Ever wondered what it would be like to do a PhD at Miskatonic University? Joe's demented scholarship impeccably cites its sources while his narrator descends into a possibly worse kind of madness than your average academic. But his demons don't whisper to us in the dark — they speak of us, and of the darkness we have built. They make deals, or help us deal with what is real but feels like it can't be: grief, obsession, nightmares and dreams (of all waking persuasions). Come for the golems and witches — stay for a literal spectre of communism explaining dialectical immaterialism.

    — Nicolò Moscatelli, PhD, award-winning author of I calcagnanti
