When was your home based publishing and why giving him that name?
The Vampire Active is a publishing associative publisher account that actually emerged in late 2007.
Its name, which originally refers to the text-object voluntarily unclassifiable Ghérasim Luca The Vampire passive is above all a wink seconded to the book "The Flight of the Vampire" by Michel Tournier we scored Hugh and me at a time in our lives that drive and said in his opening pages that " p ublished a book is to make a release of vampires. Because a book is a bird dry, bloodless, eager warmth, and when it flies, it is looking for a reader, being of flesh and blood, on which he can ask in order to inflate his life and his dreams. Thus the book becomes what it is meant to be: a living work. "
Why was this house?
It is primarily the story of a meeting of lovers of words and the book as a necessary presence to feel alive.
At one point, we decided to give life to what we would find more often library! We first completely revised the guidelines of what the Vampire assets before the arrival of Hugh and myself in the association, with priority criteria requirement strengths that have unfortunately been present when some employees from , including the poet and painter Roland Dauxois, founder of the original structure in 2005 that made the choice to resign from his position as chairman and the association in September 2009 because implied parallel in other personal projects and because it no longer recognized on an adventure that was transformed, moving away from the concept Departure: to promote poetry and the emergence of young talent. As we were novices (and even today, although we have some experience, there is still much, much to learn ...) and especially as we had no valid text went to press, we waited in waiting for the "rare gem" by creating an engaging literary blog commentary, analysis on the works by which we were specifically arrested. We also thought that about our readings, which we were interested in the literary field was an interesting way to sit a little credit, and so we bring manuscripts ... And it worked!
Once the editorial clearly defined, we said it was also necessary that we keep control over the entire process of processing and manufacturing works to be certain of objects-books we had clearly imagined. After the selection of typescripts, we take care of the correction in close collaboration with the author, work layout, implementation blankets, promotion of books, distribution and communication tools ... Today, the only operation that we do not realize is printing. At the same time, we have researched Charvet Printers in Lyon which carries a great job and really takes the time to listen ... (and god knows how we are demanding and talkative both ... ") C ' is a real pleasure to see every week the book take shape and exist ... finally
We are volunteers in our case and now Vampire Hugh and I often say that we have, certainly, a job that makes us eat but there is another, often nocturnal, feeding us ...
What is your editorial?
Contrary to what might suggest the name of the house, we are not specialized in horror or dread. This pleases us because we claim to confuse the difference in what we publish ... but lag connotations, benchmarks and asleep reassuring commonly accepted accepted for a particular genre and we consider enclosing. Literature must be able to breathe and give life to those who receive it and it can not do if it is confined in strict patterns and thus sclerosing. Obviously this requires readers and writers who wish to send us their texts, to scratch a little further than the end of the name of the house ...
More broadly, I would say that we are driven by the desire to defend entries without demanding that they be provided elitist, irrelevant entries, even rebellious, whether contemporary or historical, entries that are party to break the shackles of gender, who dare to place entries in the themes approaching it from a new angle; entries were put into perspective the act of literary creation and the act of reading, writings that are intended to reflect without setting a single goal in itself. Entries can finally consider the reader except as a passive reception center ...
Can you tell us about your catalog?
We chose to offer three collections that actually have all the same purpose: to propose legislation that put the literature in question, who offer voice who do not "cross" the reader but which remain in him, and deploy it / convert it: The collection Insurgencies hosts texts jostle or move him "differently" are two titles currently in the following: § iamoises Patrick Dao-Mulching and Old at the Rosebush Lionel Edward Martin. The collection
Rituals Crimson seeks to rediscover the texts "strippers" in limbo since republished or more several years. It Petrus Borel, stops at Lycanthropolis , which opened Rituals last June. Finally
collection Talks is supposed to receive reflections on these acts of reading and writing I mentioned just before.
What's your news?
Our third title released on 11 October. This is a text of Lionel Edward Martin titled The Old at the Rosebush who appropriates and transforms so many absolutely amazing elements of mythology Personal of the writer and that is incredibly rich. The language is crafted with a rare brilliance, is literally set to music. This literary object unidentified cues disrupts gender in the sense that we are facing not a work that goes far beyond the novel ...
Moreover, at this moment, we work closely with a young association of tour guides , Artis Mirabilis around a series of guided tours at the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon, which makes it possible to echo a dozen works from the collections of the institution and loud voices from some texts of Petrus Borel. The next appointments to note are the 16/10 and 23/11.
Finally, a title is to be published in April 2011: a small treaty shifted literature (including the author dear Bartleby, should not be unknown to you ...) and we are all in parallel with the process of On the one hand to dig another author forgot the other hand we wonder about the nineteenth edition of a text found in bookstores today ... We will in any case something amazing to offer for October 2011!
