Synopsis

"Countless people here on Earth keep wild journals. But keeping journals is good, is therapeutic, and is beneficial (almost crucial) to preserving enough history of yourself to reflect upon in the future and learn from all the mistakes you made, as well as your triumphs, as well as details of your past you'd likely otherwise completely forget, as well as leaving behind that personal history for others long after you die." -Nicholas Grabowsky (The Everborn, Halloween IV, Red Wet Dirt), from the introduction. Diverse Arcanum is a journal filled with personal history both unremarkable and remarkable, grossly amateur drawings and inspiration spawned by various hallucinogens and experiences. It was started by the author in the mid-1980s just before his horror writing career took flight, and set aside by the mid-2000s but was mostly used between 1987 to 1996. Not a word written sober, it was shared over the years with his friends, girlfriends, family, strangers at wild parties and horror celebrities, all of which made contributions large and small. We hope you are amused.
