The Metapheromenoi

Brendan Connell

Finally released in its full 108 chapters!

Against a vast and cruel horizon of caustic poetics, Jae-yong is suffering from ennui; can cannibalism save him? Yves Hermite has a hypodermic needle and an abundance of jaundiced fantasies. What is Mrs. Cheng’s shocking secret? Must Azra really be part of this remote nightmare?

The Metapheromenoi, which might be termed a major contribution to the post-structuralist novel or a harsh saga of degeneracy and dope, is a book of risqué blasphemies and heartbreaking beauty, a swirling adventure in which heroes and heroines eagerly shed their social masks and crumbling morals. Pulsing with frenetic lyricism, it is a behind the scenes look at neuropsychopharmacology and sexual aberration. A lust-filled, liquor-drenched skyrocket that is unlike anything else in literature.
