Paralibrum. Beyond the boo.

An independent home for bibliophile occulture.

About

Paralibrum’s mission is to keep daemonic subculture alive and accessible to all.

We are an independent home for discerning occult bibliophiles, dedicated to thoughtful book and art reviews alongside the publication of original source material free from orthodoxy and creative compromise.

Founded at the Summer Solstice in 2020, and today run by Frater Acher and Harper Feist with contributions from across the wider Occulture, Paralibrum celebrates both the digital and printed, the practical and the poetic word — whether through essays, reviews, or books such as MUTABOR (2024) and THE ROOTED FLAME (2026).

Several new projects are currently in development. We look forward to sharing more with you later in the year.

To the Reader.

Remember opening your favourite newspaper's arts and features section on a Sunday morning? Remember the joy of going on short journeys - just for the duration of a coffee or two - into worlds of good taste, educated perspective and love for the arts. That is what we’d love to recreate for you at Paralibrum - with a focus on all things occulture, old and new.

Mission

To the Reviewers.

Here at Paralibrum, we are looking for book and art reviews, written by experts in their field on things they are excited about. We accept submissions on all things occulture - may they be old or new creations. Our values are depth of expertise, independence of perspective and fairness of judgement. If you’d like to contribute, we’d love to hear from you.

To the Publishers.

We love what you do. In fact, we are obsessed with it. It’s your fault our spouses and non-occult friends have stopped talking to us. So please give us your wonderful poison - and allow us to write about it. If you have books you’d like to see reviewed or if you have an in-depth independent quality review available you’d like to have published here, please get in touch below.
