[Talk Gnosis] Discussing the book DRILL with author Scott R. Jones

We welcome back Scott R. Jones, writer, sorcerer, and mailman launching an attack on a very specific god, worshiped by the Jehovah’s Witness. (Or as Scott calls it in the book JHVH1.)

Scott has spent time on Talk Gnosis before, often talking about the intersection of horror and Gnosticism, either individually or on a panel. Scott gained this expertise as a prolific writer and publisher of horror fiction, and through his own explorations into Gnosticism and esotericism.

And now he’s here to talk about the work he’s made where all of those things meet, DRILL. From the blurb on the book: Magical mailman kills God in this novel of cosmic horror/occult ritual.

Mixing auto-fiction, cosmic horror, and personal quest, this book is a powerful experience. (It’s also very well written!) It takes you through Scott’s experiences with the Jehovah’s Witness, and the deeply human reason he would want to exorcise JHVH1.

As Gnostics, we can find many resonances: what it is to grapple with forces that seek to limit you… and speculations of what may lay beyond those forces.

I hope this episode inspires you to experience the book for yourself. If you’ve read it, I hope we gave you some interesting new ideas to chew on.
