Notes-To-Self: Accumulated Thoughts, Transferred Into Word Form: A Macabre Thriller Kindle Edition
Notes-To-Self: Accumulated Thoughts, Transferred Into Word Form is a brand new version of an historical collection of works that comprises Christopher Alan Broadstone's long out-of-print, handmade About 9 Times fan-book titled Beyond Blue Sky, Nothing (July 1988), which included an amalgam of 92 early poems (many of them About 9 Times lyrics), along with two early short stories, Again Once More and The Deformity.
New to this edition are the very early, never before published tales Grandma and the experimental The Dying Man: A Comedy Of Eschatology, along with the unfinished incarnation tale Homo Amphibious Burlesque, which plays prominently in the feature film Human No More (2020). Spearheading this collection is the acclaimed, but rare, demonic serial-killer thriller Note-To-Self, previously featured in the Journals Of Horror: Found Fiction anthology (2014, out-of-print), and now updated with additional material. Also included is the very rare (as yet unproduced) screenplay for the short film Roseblood, based on Broadstone's controversial Christian horror story of the same name, first published in Suicide The Hard Way: And Other Tales From The Innerzone.
Bringing this enhanced collection into perspective, and linking Broadstone's earliest stories to his most current, is Human No More producer Matthew Sanderson, who also edited Broadstone’s Suicide The Hard Way and A Catch In Time. Sanderson’s comprehensive and fascinating essay Truth & Tragedy: God Cakes Won’t Help You In Hell completes Notes-To-Self with brand new perspective.
Last but not least, as with the original Beyond Blue Sky, Nothing fan-book, the ending section is comprised of all 92 of C.A. Broadstone’s poetry and lyrics, although now updated with an additional 26 entries––including two lost poems, Abattoir and The Bloody Dead, which were recently discovered sandwiched between old printouts of the stories Grandma and The Dying Man.
If you love Christopher Alan Broadstone's philosophical and macabre books and films, as well as his lyrics for the jazz/punk/new-wave band About 9 Times and his grunge band The Judas Engine, you'll want to see where it all began. And where it all has come to.
"With razor-sharp precision, Note-To-Self explores a world of unhealed emotional scars and inescapable body horror. Broadstone captures the dislocation of being a stranger in your own skin, alongside the existential curiosity of commingling human reality with the dark void of the unknown." –– Jonny Numb, Crash Palace Productions
“As our [Note-To-Self] killer embarks on a twisted quest, his journey and mindset are the elements that unnerve us. Whether in the bosom of a benign tribe of Bedouins, or sojourning through a chaotic Cairo, Mr. Broadstone ensures that we the reader will find no comfort, or reprieve from horror.” –– Christopher Zisi, Zisi Emporium For B-Movies

- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022This book plunges you into a surreal world almost at once. It starts as a classical tale of horror and quickly drags you into the bizarre adventure that resembles nothing you've ever read before. The experience was rather overwhelming, but sure well worth it. Thoughts of a man in a deep coma who can hear those around him and is having wild adventures through his memory lane and even inside his body; an infamous killer who performed a surgery on himself; a freak show, promising to show you one of the world's big wonders and instead shows you something much more horrifying and unexpected; an aquarium giving a homoerotic show, and much more. I would have never imagined anything like that and I could never guess what the next turn would be or how it would end! That was surely a big break from the ordinary –– and literature where you know who the killer is from the very start. :)) I found this book really curious and loved the language. I wonder if there's anything else out there on the Internet in this style.
