These texts , The Book Of Pleasure (1913), Notes On Automatic Drawing (1916), The Focus Of Life (1921) and The Anathema Of Zos (1927), are vital to an understanding of Spare's theories of sigilization and automatic ecstasy, and also point to the tenets of Spare's Zos Kia Cultus, an occult system of critical influence on the development of chaos magic.

Also included in an illuminating introductory text, Time Mirrors, by Genesis P-Orridge.

For this special ebook edition Spare's texts are presented with a bonus section of 8 rare automatic drawings by Spare, dating from 1925.
