Myth Lab - Jack Skelley

"Myth Lab: Theories of Plastic Love "is a genre-defiant sex-trip to post-human dimensions. If C.G Jung, magic-mushroom shaman Terence McKenna and Camille Paglia (Sexual Personae) had a three-way while binging on George Bataille and undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy, their baby might be the erotic cocktail of Myth Lab. Its extreme theme is nothing less than the fate of the species.


Praise for Myth Lab:

“Brilliant and wild, Jack Skelley’s “Myth Lab” is a manifesto of exuberance disguised as a sci-fi sex test-center for the invention of communal futures. Skelley’s a mad scientist, scholar and poet.”
- Chris Kraus, author of After Kathy Acker


A hallucinatory book that straddles gender studies, science-fiction, and cultural criticism (to name but three of many genres). Ever eager to use a newfound Skelley-ism, I urge everyone to read "Myth Lab" and be “Kardashian'd” with love (i.e buy it now, it's great).
- Susan Finlay, author of The Jacques Lacan Foundation


In Jack Skelley’s “Myth Lab”, something weird and beautiful is forged in the crucible of infinite horny grief. It’s an epic, delirious descent into the inferno, navigating the concentric circles of romance and desire as literary malady, TikTok psyop, benevolent cosmological principle, and more. Simultaneously a quest, a physics experiment and an elegy. I loved following its narrator - a tender, erotomanic, Blakean particle - seeking and finding visionary head. 
- Daisy Lafarge, author of Love Bug
