Marmaraoth is "a popular magic word probably deriving from Syriac for 'Lord of Lords.' [It is] found in medieval European Latin prayers in a bowdlerized form" —Hildegard Temporini, Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt, 1972
"If David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges created a book the result would be something very much like the writings of Craig Conley. As with those artists, Craig's work creates truly remarkable and subtle effects. His books are ones to dream with and learn from."
