From 7pm at Sovereign House — Christopher Zeischegg makes a rare NYC appearance to celebrate the launch of The Magician with a night of alter egos. I recently read and loved this book - “an incantatory trip into the heart of darkness”. Come as you are (or as you are not). Readings by Tess Manhattan, Reuben Dendinger, and Chris Zeischegg. A short film screening of THE MAGICIAN will follow, inspired by the harrowing story behind the text.

Tonight is Christopher Zeischegg’s book launch party. Chris is a client of mine, and I’ve been planning this event for months now. Apocalypse Party Press recently re-released his novel The Magician, a contemporary horror novel that garnered a rabid cult following when it was originally published by Amphetamine Sulphate in 2020. The Magician is a dark, hallucinatory journey through California’s fractured dreamscape, a melding of horror and autofiction based loosely on Zeischegg’s post-porn life.
Chris, who I haven’t yet met in person, is visiting from LA for the event. The lineup is solid: artist-writer Tess Manhattan, Cursed Images author Reuben Dendinger, and Chris himself. A screening of The Magician short film (inspired by the making of text) will follow the readings. Later, Senegalese experimental hip hop artist iD-SuS will take the stage.
