Legion 49: A new book from Fulgur

Legion 49, by Barry William Hale looks to be another fascinating title from UK’s Fulgur.

Hale’s blog seems to be dormant, but Caduceus Books gives us a taste of his style, while Fulgur’s author bio fills in the rest.

From Fulgur’s website:

Barry William Hale has nurtured an early fascination with the order Diptera to develop a buzzing, post-modern grimoire-bestiarum. Drawn from many years practical experience working with Beelzebub and his servitors, Legion 49 provides us with a rare glimpse of ‘the Lord of the Flies’ and the dark quintessence of his Legion. In a series of short, de-constructionist essays the artist explores traditional methods of evocation and the myths surrounding Beelzebub, before providing an iconographical and sigillic recension of his horde of forty-nine servitors, glimpsed through the protective-symmetry of the paper-cut traditions of old Mexico.

Fulgur always produces gorgeous work, last year’s Conjunctio, by Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule and The Valley of Fear, by Austin Osman Spare were further proof of this.
