Here lies snytactic mystery from strange and alien tongues, unstuck and bound to the land where "Once upon a time" wedges itself in the treated-pine cracks in the doorstep of a drunkard's single-wide trailer, and holy blood and holy roods are nothing more than cheap wine and scarecrow staves out of some dead land.

$30.00 each plus $5.00 shipping.

Limited edition of 18 numbered copies.

The Glamour Down Two Path Roads combines Old Language, a long poem that begins our journey into a magical American south where questing beasts and enchanted swords take on a shape of their own, and the short story A Matter of Anachronisms, Archetypal yet Curious in Their Implications, which takes us deeper into the world Berrien has created. Berrien also provides an Afterword, a fascinating look into the development of both of these pieces and the characters that bring them to life.

A full faux-snakesin binding encloses antique laid paper and parchment endpapers. 45 pages. The book measures approximately 6 inches high by 4.5 inches wide. Black corners highlight the title, which has been printed on metallic gold paper. There is one interior illustration provided by the binder.
