Demons are real. Richard knows because he has listened to them his entire life. No longer able to bear their screams echoing in his head, he embarks on a rampage of deranged violence, leaving a trail of mutilated bodies and viscera in his wake. Now, Richard must traverse the terrifying landscape of hell, guided by his lustful demoness through the myriad of torments and tortures laid out before him. There is no hope, no kindness, no mercy. There is only the pain of damnation and the laughter of blood-thirsting demons. Unclean Verses is an Extreme Horror Re-Imagining of Dante's Inferno by the author of War of Dictates and Abhorrent Siren. "Baltisberger proves to be an occult iconoclast counterpart to Lin Manuel Miranda.">"Like a machine-gun firing bullets of blasphemy, The Unclean Verses overwhelms and penetrates the reader with an almost hypnotic cadence that belies the brutality and cruel viciousness embedded in Baltisberger's poetry.">It's magnificent - an extraordinary feat of extended poetry, really re-inventing Dante in boldly extreme and dazzling language. It's both a classical and a deeply personal vision of hell and an overwhelming expression of lust, shame, guilt, rage and anguish - the extended howl of a brutally self-destructive soul in torment. There is a strange beauty to the sonic patterns and the deliriously disgusting imagery. It's in a class of its own.--Montague White, The Professor.

"I killed my first Nazi at four years old. It wasn't art; I didn't discover the joy of a psychotropic kill until much later. Each moment that led up to it was the crescendo of a future lover screaming from around the bend of time, begging for the tantric orgasm that would define our future." Thus begins the lurid, gore-filled memoir of the author. Tainted by miles of hallucinogenic inspiration and sprinkled with poetic interludes, SHROOMS & SCREAMS seeks to bind reality with vision, discovering the truth that lies somewhere between what happened and what should have happened.Part memoir, part novel, part collection, All I Want is to Take Shrooms and Listen to the Color of Nazis' Screams is more than a book, it's a way of life."Baltisberger shows himself to be an occultic iconoclast counterpart to Lin-Manuel Miranda: he overturns icons, constructs a rich mythology from the rubble of that which has been torn down, and conveys it all with pulsing, infectiously inventive trash-talk."--Doris V. Sutherland, Attack of the Six-Foot Tranny"Exquisitely showcasing Baltisberger's evocative poetry and biting prose, All I Want is to Take Shrooms & Listen to the Color of Nazi Screams is an intoxicating blood-drenched trip featuring a righteous protagonist and epic cast of characters that'll leave you buzzing with vigilante fire."-- Jessica McHugh, 2x Bram Stoker Award(R)-nominated author of The Quiet Ways I Destroy You

The truth isn't always an easy thing to discern. The idea that we can ever really be objective is one that will always fail in the end.This is a guide, both to simple esoteric thought and for meditation. The goal is not to become a mystic or to transcend humanity. But rather to face the roadblocks in our path towards peace.The self is esoteric, the truth is subjective.
