PREVIOUS EDITIONS:
To the left and right are the 1st and 2nd editions of OSAS, boasting the mediævalesque scratchboard cover created by yours truly. There are some slight differences in content between the three various editions, mostly minor editorial changes, but I remain proud of all three, and I LOVE the newer Chip Boles cover!

tale that follows psychiatric patient James Wagner's mystically compelled break from  contemporary earth to mediævalesque Ergos, where through a lengthy and unremitting ordeal of racial and cultural savagery, imprisonment, and barbaric exploitation, he is forced to consider the inconceivable: that his lifelong schizm of reality-busting manifestations -- and the enigmatic symbolism comprising them -- was less a psychological sickness and more of a visional prelude to the astonishingly palpable reality that has suddenly supplanted his empty earthly existence. Marooned on a backwater world of warring, of brutality and bondage and bloodshed, a world of multifarious creatures both human and bestial, it will take every bit of Wagner's courage, cunning, and perseverance to stay alive, to find his way, and ultimately to define himself.
