The Muse-Trap

by Bella Basura

In The Muse-Trap, Bella Basura - having abandoned the Gregorian Calendar as "an utterly random division of time" - takes us on a journey through her "alphabetically deranged chaos of memory", initially in search of two lost lunar months of consciousness.

In moments of lucidity she attends meetings at Hecate's Tavern - the only pub on a seven-church leyline - where she takes the minutes of St.Giro's Philosophical Society - a lottery-funded (fingers crossed) offshoot of a Training For Work scheme that provides support for the unemployed by the unemployed. Otherwise, she is trawling the inner realms, making contact with mythological Muse-Entities, exorcising ansafones and gazing at a checkered tablecloth.

She is also attemping to make sense of a mysterious orange pamphlet by the notorious Doc. Gordon Tripp, a national celebrity and lecturer in Altered States of Consciousness.
