PARALIBRUM PRESS
Paralibrum Press was born from both necessity and passion. The necessity lay in finding a way to publish works entirely independently of established publishing houses – whether small digital projects such as articles and essays, or full-length books like Frater Acher’s MUTABOR (2024). The passion is the same that inspired the creation of the book review platform Paralibrum in 2020: bibliophilia, the love of the printed, bound, carefully crafted, poetically inflected word.
Several new projects are currently in development. We look forward to sharing more with you in 2026.
About
Titles
-
MUTABOR is a visceral journey through the tangled histories of beauty, deformation, and the goêtic body, revealing the human flesh as a gateway to radically non-human forms of communion. Blending anthropology, philosophy, and magical praxis, Frater Acher challenges magicians to rethink the body as the living locus of 21st-century animism.
-
This essay reconstructs the shadowy life of Jacob Dürr, a 19th-century goês whose spirit-healing work and exorcistic practice unfolded far outside orthodox power and record. Drawing on fragmentary sources and Kerner’s evocative Kleksographien, Frater Acher restores Dürr as a rare window into Western animistic magic, offering insight for both historians and modern practitioners.
