Chupacabra Disco: MAJESTIC as FUCK
Tuesday, July 28, 2026
Merchandise for PPP & Chupacabra Disco
Thanks to Misti Rainwater we now have merch on sale at Red Bubble. Hoodies, tees, sweats etc, but living here tees is really the only option.
Here's the Swooncake Press shop by the way, since Misti has thousands of products available there & I encourage her to make money. I'm high maintenance.
There's even a Chupacabra Disco design below that is also linked here.
The Chupacabra Disco bandcamp is here.
RETARD PENIS
I think Gertrude Stein would approve of our new project RETARD PENIS. It's supposed to be flash fiction but that's a lit bro thing & I'm too well-endowed for that so I'm doing aphorisms & various observations. I don't deny that Courtney maybe killed Kurt, I'm just saying that if anyone kills a Pisces, & somebody has got to do it, it might as well be a Cancer.
Anyway, Misti did the cover below. In other news, we are doing tees & sweatshirts & hoodies for Posthuman Poetry & Prose, so we have fucking merch, bitches.

SUPER CHERRY EXTRA
have today finished converting Misti's original masters for SUPER CHERRY EXTRA to lossless digital form & today released the album at this link on Bandcamp, bless their cotton socks. In a sense this is the first real release of the album, since it has previously only had a limited release as cassette. The full album is $9 & each of the 18 tracks is $1 if bought separately. It's free to listen to the first track.
Slobber finally available
From David Rainwater's blog.
SLOBBER concludes the trilogy by Misti & David Rainwater. It is on Lulu now & will be on Amazon, who can go fuck themselves, later. It is a delightful tome of about 150 pages & at this link. It will hopefully appear on Amazon at some time in the future.
The poems are very diverse & include a number about local animals & Mayan divinities; tropical diversions; why the USA, Texas in particular, is not relevant; Misti's background & the fall of the West. Inspiration drawn from Bataille, Lyotard, Lacan, Gertrude Stein, Anna Kavan, Artaud, & others.
Sample by Misti, very short:
if you want to get fucked by my big dick
baby you are such a man eating the last freshly baked peanut butter
chocolate chip cookie no thank you no kiss just some bullshit threat
you blame it on the gummies and early smiths
Sample by me:
beast & replete with meaningless
I myself am an absolute abyss.
(Antonin Artaud)the human is void indecisive last meanings missing their sexual indexical they barely notice wild & desire
i am become beast & replete with meaningless & meat my memory all
that matters is fire & the divine & to pound my woman out dicked
down to ground
i am beast & meaningless replete
Our next collaboration is a prose work called RETARD PENIS. This will be really fucking sensitive like Bath & Body Works lotion.

Chupacabra Disco: SPONSORED BY NUTELLA
STUNT COCK illustrated edition
Today we also publish the illustrated & unexpurgated STUNT COCK at Lulu, & it is later coming from Amazon etc. It is more expensive than we might wish but it is on 80# coated paper & uses premium ink. The book contains the same poems as the other version, but each poem is accompanied by a new photo or collage that may or may not relate to the poem in some way.
The cover is below & it is on sale at this link.
As noted previously, the next book is SLURP. This is more minimalist with no blog posts & no illustrations.
STUNT COCK
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the simple text-based edition of STUNT COCK, the first collaboration between Misti & David Rainwater, & the first offering from their first trilogy, which will also include the volumes SLURP & SLIT.
The book is currently available here at LULU. It will be available from Amazon in due course.
We are also dead chuffed to announce a more elaborate fully illustrated edition with Misti's own creations in full colour on quality paper, because she's been a very good girl & worked very hard at this. So, this will take a day or two, but we both prefer the illustrated version, for obvious reasons.
We have started SLURP, the next part of the trilogy. This, however, will be a minimalist production, with no blog posts & no illustrations.

Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother
Lamaštû: Poems for the Anti-Mother is now on sale at UK Amazon at this link. It is also available from US Amazon. See the post below for further details.
This is the latest book in McLean's series about aspects of goddess, & Lamaštû is, together with Maa Kali & Tiamat, one of the three aspects that he regards as most primal. The next will probably be about Tiamat. As always there is a lengthy prose introduction before the poems.
The depiction of Lamaštû in popular fiction & films for the great unwashed is as offensive as the scurrilous lies told about Lilītu by the devotees of the patriarchal "gods".
But Lamaštû is a primal Mesopotamian goddess who was seen as being tasked with curbing human hubris. McLean sees Her as the form of Dark Mother most suited to the modern age, when population needs to be controlled & humanism & human narcissism need to be stamped out.

"tundra", by Tanya Rakh
From the blog of David C. McLean:
It is enormously gratifying that a new book, tundra, by Tanya Rakh is now available from Posthuman Poetry & Prose, with a brief introduction by me. The book is fifty numbered pages, & includes Tanya's own illustrations & cover art. I might as well post my introduction below, after the cover.
The book is available direct at this link,
& the proof has been approved so the book is coming to online sites
like Amazon shortly. Feel free to buy direct though, because Lulu pay
authors much more than Amazon & other major booksellers.
It is gratifying to publish this present volume by Tanya Rakh, a short collection of poems called tundra.
For reasons that I have elsewhere described at great length, it is not possible to capture intensity & fire in the drab garb of the natural languages, but it is undoubtedly possible to adumbrate them via negativa, or to hint at them as the unnameable that hides within the interstices of the text.
that’s the secret
you can paint
with the other
side
(“quill”)
As I have previously written of Rakh, this focus on fire & intensity, on all varieties of passion, means that she produces Dichtung, not Poesie: the work thereby belongs to & reveals earth as it pertains to beast & goddess, not the paltry human world, the scientific world that relies on commensurability to describe everything in terms of quality & quantity, a world blind to intensity.
It is also most gratifying to me to note that this book clearly touches on the eternal return, & does so in a way that is entirely compatible with my own Deleuzian understanding of Nietzsche & the selective, as it were, nature of the divine attention:
yes, it’s always the end, we finally make it and the wind picks up and the mountains peel back to beginning again. how do we stay? what imprints are left after the blood tide? after all these planets close their eyes?
nothing but this, love. a wide-eyed sea. all screaming ghosts of sun flesh swimming through the open dream. a sky arched over water. soft lights twinkling past the edge of a century.
As the above quote illustrates, it is only intensity that is ultimately real, because the energy that constantly emanates from goddess to fuel this illusion that it pleases Her to construct is ultimately fire - it is the eternal & infinite fecundity that quantum physics shows is always already there instead of the grotesque & imaginary void that torments the imagination of the weak & reactive. It is always fang & fury & pain, & this is obviously nothing other than love.
The poem “sulfur” is perhaps the closest this book comes to the Mesopotamian understanding of primal goddess:
I cry my soul
into seven ancient rivers
each opens the mouth
of a burning star—
a sulfur world
that breathes our language
If that isn’t redolent of Lamaštû, the seven witches, then I don’t know who screams in the night or why.

poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû
Today I make available divine fury: poems for Lilītu & Lamaštû from Posthuman Poetry & Prose. I am also about to release Tara is the fire, but I shall give that a separate post. Here is the first of these books on sale direct,
probably coming at Amazon soon. After the Tara book, I am writing one
solely about Lamaštû - partly from gratitude to Her for favours
received, partly because Her role in preventing conception makes Her
very well adapted to my antinatalist predilections.
In the Lilītu & Lamaštû book, with which I am rather pleased, I do deal with my usual themes: humanist narcissism, how Dark Mother has become dea abscondita, the bogus patriarchal religions with their daddy kinks, the narcissistic fear of chaos, the "bipolar" contrast between spicy forms of goddess & the more vanilla aspects of divinity, masculinism & sexism within religion & the occult, &, of course, last but not least, the incommensurability of intensity & the shortcomings of language.
I am hugely grateful to Nausicaa Morgue for the cover images & for discussion of both these aspects of Dark Mother.
Blurb & cover follow:
This book extends McLean's series about goddess to include Lilītu & Lamaštû, & removes Lilītu completely from the fictional image of Her as a creature of the patriarchal god. She is a black moon Kali & a central aspect of Dark Mother.
Seeing Lilītu as a demon is not seeing Her in Her full bipolar divinity as goddess, with Her benevolent & "malevolent" aspects incorporated.
If we cannot accept the spicy aspects of goddess, then we do not deserve Her incalculable bounty.

"Laying Flowers on the Boundary" by Carolyn Srygley Moore
Delighted to announce a new book of poems by Carolyn Srygley Moore at Posthuman Poetry & Prose. It is now on sale at this link & the proof has been approved so it will appear on Amazon soon. Laying Flowers on the Boundary costs $10, €10, or £8.
As
I say in the blurb, this is definitely some of her best work, &
Carolyn & I did a good job preparing it, I think. The poems
adumbrate a fundamentally aesthetic stance that is innately moral, since
moral development is largely based upon aesthetic considerations, &
a poem can itself perform a small scale transvaluation. Discriminations
are empty & serve to strengthen the insistent falsification that is
Maya, & inspiration is arbitrary, so the sense of an aleatory &
random imaginary is a great strength of this book. Generally goddess
does not care for American writers, because of their narcissism, but She
thinks it's alright for me to publish this & Carolyn's previous
here, For All of My Beautiful Ghosts.
The cover, featuring Carolyn's photography & designed by me, is below. I endorse this book.

"Laliat drink too much" at Amazon
Lalita drinks too much hits Amazon (soon) at this link or at this one for US Amazon.
Here it is at Lulu.
Samples posted in this post.
Cover & blurb below.
This book continues McLean's series about Kali Maa & the Mahavidyas & is about Lalita or Shodashi, the third Mahavidya.
The poems are preceded by a lengthy & controversial introduction, where McLean discusses goddess; the selective Nietzschean eternal return as a template for reincarnation; Kali & temporality; the imaginary ego; spirituality & narcissism; the narcissistic nature of the guru phenomenon; intensity & incommensurability; the patriarchy & fratriarchy; & the colonialism to which the tribal peoples in India are subjected.
The cover image is the Sri Yantra.

AmaLilith store by Nausicaa Morgue
For religious reasons I use Posthuman Poetry & prose to promote some beautiful & rewarding work by my brilliant friend Nausicaa Morgue.
I'm pleased to announce the arrival of AmaLilith online shop at Big
Cartel, with arts, crafts, & bone sculptures, created without
harmful chemicals with traditional methods, by Nausicaa Morgue. The shop is online at this link. There is also a blog that I previously mentioned here.
Nausicaa's products are inspired by, & imbued with, the powers of Lilith, Hecate, Asmodeus, & Astaroth, the goddesses & demons with whom Nausicaa works. Lilith & Hecate are both forms of our Dark Mother goddess, & both of these are subjects of future books by me, obviously. The products, however, are of great aesthetic value even for those of a secular inclination. Some sample photos are included below.
Whatever one's faith, Nausicaa's products channel the power & beauty of nature, & these pieces, none of which is particularly expensive, are full of life & vitality, fragility & immense power. The Divine Mother has directed me to be of assistance to Nausicaa in whatever way I can, & I think that her artistic expression adumbrates the beauty of incarnate spirit as a simple expression of goddess, in more or less the same way that I aspire to do through words. The pieces are transformative in their celebration of the ecstasy of becoming, rooted safely in decay, of the profound love that preserves the inconsequential, & sees the essential in the interstitial & the liminal.
These are offerings for the crossroads where Hecate &
Matangi shepherd the broken ghosts home, the impure purity of the
fragmentary that is all that ever deserves to return.
Work from Posthuman Poetry & Prose
Below we shall post the corresponding pinned post from David C. McLean's personal blog, but first list other works from Posthuman Poetry...
