“Armand is one of the few writers truly wrestling with what it is to write in a world that has left literature behind.” Joe Darlington, MANCHESTER REVIEW OF BOOKS

A Tomb in H-Section is the crowning achievement of Louis Armand’s Golemgrad Pentalogy, which already includes such works of startling originality as The Combinations, Death Mask Sutra, Vampyr, & Glitchhead.

An intricate, visionary work of multimedial synergy that evolves the template of the 21st-century novel by magnitudes, A Tomb in H-Section is simultaneously an illustrated historical epic, a metaphysical bildungsroman, a space opera, a videogame, a world-wide conspiracy thriller, a retelling of the Golem myth, a lost Goons Show, a child’s comicbook collection (“Phantom Regime,” “Brainworm,” “Rat King,” “Life & Death of Martha Dodd”), & much more.

“From contagion to collapse, and hence the excess of fugitives & infiltrators — A TOMB IN H-SECTION by Louis Armand is a carousel of rubble versus a vacuum: untamed geometries: hatchings described under thermobaric synthesis: reptilian dendrites, over cogwheels and screens of God: nutritional scarifications, similar to the dystopias of retinopassivity: films where everything became more cloudy, insecure and swampy. As in the metapsychic minotaurs of the Age-of-When: autocratic regimes of perception, or the germs of a voice formed into nothing…” Rui Baião, author of STRANGVLATORIVM
