Spawn of the Pagan

The voice of Mr. V. Vale resonates over the hundreds of books and record albums that line the walls of his apartment in the North Beach section of San Francisco—an apartment that he shares with his body- and soul-mate, Ms. Marian Wallace. Together they put out the series of softcover volumes known as REsearch books. Familiar titles in the series include Incredibly Strange Films and Incredibly Strange Music. See the face and force behind these literary works, and hear the pagan pronouncements of a powerful presence in the world of literature and ideas. A world of the bizarre and the shocking that is our sphere of externalized and unexpurgated ecstasy.
