The Damned Machine is the first collected volume of Eric J. Millar's esoteric online newsletter NO GODS BUT MY OWN, an exploration of the currents between occultism, creativity, and the imaginal. In this first volume Eric creates a strange collection of art and essays to illustrate concepts like time, the planes of imagination, Mundane Magic, and the unusual places you might find gnosis. Also included are two of Eric's early novellas, ASHTRAY MENAGERIE and STUTTERER.
