The LOST FRAMES COMPENDIUM is a catalogue of work loved by the artists and perhaps unnoticed by the general public. Until now. Inside, the reader will find new and familiar names; originally published as an eBook supplement to Big Bridge Magazine, issue #17. Designed especially to accommodate the large format art pieces, Paper Press has now made this invaluable volume available in print.

Through the eyes of a private journal writer, poet Michael Rothenberg reports on the continual worldwide injustices, tragedies and killings we are forever made to bear witness to on the streets and via the media. What can be done? With compassion and humor, "Murder" begins the investigation.

THE BLUE DEMON: A novella in the tradition of Nineteenth Century literature. The crew of a Spanish merchant ship discovers they have a stranger among them: a Moor with an odd nickname and worse yet, debilitating agoraphobia. The ship is thrown far off course by a cyclone and stranded in a giant kelp field. Added to their misfortune, an invisible visitor snacks on the crew at night, using their half-rotted heads like puppets, beckoning to them from the water. The crew must make an effort to understand their odd crewmate before they can vanquish their assailant together. Classic horror in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and William Hope Hodgson.
