Liber.Malorum.cover.jpg

Liber Malorum - Children Of The Apple is the first book by the Australian fool and magician Sean Scullion. The book, essentially a woven anthology of short stories features original contributions from Ramsey Dukes, Frater Kaotec, Nathaniel Harris, Douglas Ezzy, Indigo Niebla, Profth, Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule, J. Elizabeth Lawrence, Ceri Buck, Henry Lauer, David Blank, PenDragon, Lilith, Jet Moon, Sulien Leybourn, Gavin Andrew, Frater Carfax, Anton Channing, Caroline Foldes, Stella Damiana, DJ Lawrence and Jaq D. Hawkins.

Liber Malorum also contains a number of excerpts from other sources, including William Blake, the Principia Discordia, Robert Anton Wilson, Hakim Bey, Timothy Leary, William J. Murray and Donald Tyson.

The cover of Liber Malorum places Scullion as 'the weaver' instead of 'the editor' of the anthology. Liber Malorum appears as a woven anthology in which each story can be read in isolation, or the book can be read as a whole to reveal a larger story and so the imagery of a woven tapestry of short stories is used throughout.
