Prerequisites:
* Half pint, 10-inch hypo-needle (the kind used for spinal taps and inoculating bulls)
* Fill this full of Rum, Tequila or Wild Turkey and shoot the entire contents straight into the stomach, thru the navel. This will induce a fantastic rush - much like a 3/4 hour amyl high - plenty of time to read the whole saga.
Instructions and warnings:
Israfel's Rants - like quadrophonic 4-dimensional sound - exists on many levels: It is not so much "written" as performed - and because of this, the end result must be experienced. Instead of merely "read".
Beyond that, it should be experienced under circumstances approximating - as closely as possible - the conditions surrounding the original performance. For this reason, the editors (me) have agreed to pass the author's (me) "reading instructions" along to all those who might want to "experience" this saga under the "proper conditions". We offer them without comment - and certainly without recommendation.
To wit: Read staright thru, at high speed, from start to finish, in a large room full of speakers, amplifiers, and other appropriate sound equipment. There should also be a large fire in the room, preferably in an open fireplace and raging almost out of control. (alternative, hot tub and vibrator)
