'Carnival Of The Bizarre' is a photography book by Sue Fox in the Visions Series, published by Incunabula Media in July 2023 and available for a limited period only.

https://incunabulamedia.com/visions

The book is a shape-shifting journey to Blackpool and an experimental one in to the cosmic rain to show the circus like magic of the people, its buildings and cars, and the strange fun fair type extravaganza, recorded in a mirror the size of a tall building.

'The Exorcism of Susan Fox' is due for publication Spring 2024 with a performance and book launch on 6th April 2024 @ Anthony Burgess Foundation published with Incunabula Media. The book charts 108 sessions of myofascial structural emotional release bodywork with Ray Haq over a period of three years throughout the Corona lockdown. The book takes a somatic approach to healing complex trauma and charts the journey of a woman surmounting a dark past and moving through all obstacles to fully stand in her power. This book is a transgressive, blasphemous and harrowing series of images and writing around the body and its pain thresholds. The only way to evolve is through suffering. Suffering through the body becomes Foxes art and the ultimate liberation.

"Transgressive underground literature is alive and well in the Uk. A woman living in Manchester has written a long and difficult experimental ode to her lifelong masturbatory habits, which is by turns shocking, funny, sad, distressing, erotic, contradictory, infuriating, vulnerable, aggressive. . .Every single chapter entirely based purely around sexual fantasies and memories and descriptions of orgasm. Something to upset everyone in here, this is up there with Genet, Burroughs or Sade for explicit and taboo content and the stream of consciousness prose is often impressive. Heterosexual younger men should read this book, they may learn some things. And older men come to think of it, and any woman hung up in guilt about their sexuality, or caught in the sugar and spice trap! Highest possible recommendation for anyone interested in human sexuality in all its beautiful and troubling forms". (Simon Morris)
