| a series of block prints: THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS |
| This play dares to ask the questions Shakespeare was afraid to answer! Lady Macbeth, troubled by bloodstains - why not use Oxy-Clean? What is the Crocodile Hunter doing with Cleopatra’s asp? Are there no plans for a sequel to Hamlet? Does this witch’s outfit make me look fat? Four major plays are wrestled to the ground: Antony and Cleopatra, Richard III, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Students are introduced to Shakespeare using slapstick, vaudeville humor and social satire. |
ABOUT the AUTHOR The infant Michael Fountain was found shivering in a field outside Benton Harbor, Michigan. A map sewn to his clothing claimed to show the way to Pellucidar at the Earth’s core. This was later proven to be a forgery committed by muralist Charles R. Knight, using Silly Putty to transfer images of mega- fauna and Bettie Page onto sheets of Chinese ghost money. Inoculation by a beatnik doctor in the Ozarks triggered the mutation that made him an enemy of society. This Encyclopedia of Esoterica is made from random scraps of the dog's dinner that is Fountain's creative output. A collection of plays, Hamlet with Extra Cheese, is available from Brooklyn Publishing. Four novels now wander through Submission Hell. Short fiction will be found here and at online magazines like Twilight Tales. Initiation into the mysteries of the philosophia perennis was followed by a series of menial jobs, at least one involving barrels of human excrement. Fountain then paid his debt to society with service as a psychiatric aide and inner city teacher. His work first appeared in the Terminus Owlswick, and Fort Mudge Electric Street Railway Gazette, followed by Wyrd, Dragon, and regional magazines with equally strange names. Now covered with guard hairs and a greenish algae resembling that found on the lesser tree sloth, he runs an after- hours blues club and petting zoo in Kalamazoo. |
| CRITICAL PRAISE for O.E.E.! "Friendly enough for beginners, deep enough to still surprise a professional. In my "Ripper" days, every occultist carried a well-thumbed copy in his jeans. The entry on Five-Toed Dragons alone saved countless lives during the Boxer Rebellion. If only this invaluable text had been available to the Parade of Fools now in government BEFORE the present crisis." -- Rupert Giles |
