Complex Psyche
-or-
The OmegAphelion of Mustafa Shibui

by Parker J. Hood

A damaged psyche is like a horse gone mad - a slobbering beast forcing us to commit deeds beyond our very comprehension, driving us where we'd never imagine. What drives a mind over the edge? What truth lurks within the billowing bowels of the subconscious?

Mustafa Shibui would love to know the answers to these questions and more. Unfortunately, he's too busy with his new book. You see, his Editor is rather… demanding. More demanding than most, one might say.

Humoring the urgings of his Editor, under whose command he seems powerless, Mustafa slowly finds himself embedded in an epic conspiracy of apocalyptic proportions. The more he learns, the stranger things seem, as monsters, aliens, sorcerers, and one especially relentless fan-girl make repeated attempts upon his life.

With the help of a mysterious Serpent Queen, Mustafa races to determine his ultimate role in these shady intrigues. Have his employers, now revealed to be part of a powerful and enigmatic secret society, been pulling his strings all along? What of the strange Artefacts which everyone seems so determined to obtain? And for what sinister purpose might the device called the OmegAphelion be used?

Prepare to lose your mind in this complex maze of mystery wrapped around an enigma nestled in a Universe a-quarter-of-a-dimension over from our own. Schizophrenic in perspective and irreverent in style, this surreal parody of science fiction and fantasy masks the infinitely profound beneath a veneer of the uproariously shallow. The result is a wild journey with psychotic twists and jolting turns that somehow manages to land you safe and sound back in stark reality - whatever that is.

You’ve never had so much fun in the fault lines of the soul!
