The Embryo Man and Other Tales of Woe



The world's first psychedelic picture-book novel

with surrealistic imagery and whimsical prose

designed to enlighten all who happen to pass by!



Within this book you will find hundreds of song links as an

added bonus. They have been sprinkled like seeds throughout

the entire novel to further enhance a rather small body of work.









Just leave your magic carpet by the ticket booth and proceed through!







Here admission is always free, and the estate of life

is an ever changing world that has slowly begun to die.







Please note that if the text and spacing is not 100% accurate,

you will need to hold the "CTRL" and then the "+" key.

This will allow the web page to be viewed properly.

Same goes for the"CTRL" and "(minus)" key,

if the wording becomes too large!



With over 1000 psychedelic paintings to aid you along, the story,

written in fact, becomes more than just your average tale of woe.







But don't fret, because at the bottom of each and every chapter

can be found, the artist and title of each and every painting!



Within every picture, I have added links that will take

you to the prospective website of the artist in question.



Do note that I have since completed the bottom of Chapters

1 - 41 , and am working earnestly to g i ve credence unto

those who have long inspired me through their art.





Greetings, my name is Charles Pendelton

Many thanks to Marty Langdon for all his help in the past concerning the fate of this website.

As of Sept 2015, Marty left for Venezula. We do not know if he will be returning to the states.



Please note: Several reviewers who wish to remain completely

anonymous have denounced Chapter 32, The Embryo Man,

claiming it to be one of the most disturbing novels ever written.



I tend to disagree.



Still, no copy-editor will get involved with this book.

Perhaps they simply don't understand love in its purest form.



Considering this book possesses both literary merit and social

importance, it should not fall under society's feet to be trampled

upon and disregarded by the savages of a lost society.

For those of you who wish to know what lies within the pages of this book.

It is the heart of delirium. . . It is madness redefined.





This is a small passage taken from chapter 25, which is written almost entirely in verse!

However, since it is in the middle of a story, it is not a good idea to begin reading there.



On delicate wings, what appeared to be a pterodactyl flew over the tree line directly

above and released a screech. I was not alarmed by this, for this is what I expected.

The sane entering the mind of the insane, only I did not expect it to be this real.



The cartoon strip was alive, and I was in the big leagues now.



Just remember one thing, if anything at all. . .

"Be very careful captain; people get lost in here."



Chapter 25, Pg 120





Chapters 28 - 31 are interconnected.



These four chapters drip in undertones of the surreal. . .



They pertain to the summer of 1981 when I and a friend injested three hits of

double barrel purple mescaline. *(LSD)* And a hell of a lot of Marijuana!

This is a real mind blowing excursion into the depths of an uncharted void.



Chapter 28 is where I would advise most everyone to start reading from!



An angel crossed my path with amber eyes and a low cut dress.

She was as beautiful as an evening primrose in the dying sun

and while her image left me like a falling tear,

her perfume stayed behind to tantalize my senses.



I now felt as though I had no name.

I was alive, but had I ever been born?

Similar to a blade of grass that grows slowly,

or an ant peeking up through a crack in the concrete;

tonight, I would be traveling incognito.



Chapter 28, Pg 132







Aside from trying to comprehend the internal workings of a delicate mind,

Chapter 32 is a most unconventional love story. This chapter is for anyone

who has a flare for romance. But be forewarned, once it has been read, it

can never be unread. *(((Caution should certainly be exercised here)))*





In truth, I drank from that cup, and I never looked back.

Therefore, I never knew what had begun to take shape in the

dark region known as despair. An ill wind had begun brewing

and heaven help the soul left stranded by the river's edge. . .

It is so cold and lonely there, my eyes begin to water at the mere

thought of it. There in that wretched place of all forlornness,

the mighty angels who circle above, will not circle above it.



Chapter 32, Pg 187







After you read a chapter, I would like to hear your review of it,

if you could find the time. You may address your comments to

me at Theembryoman@yahoo.com. Simply state what chapter

you have reviewed and I will see that it gets posted to this website.



Whether it be questions that can go into the FAQ's box, or general

ideas on whether you liked it or disliked it. As long as you leave

your first and last name (or initials), it would be much appreciated.



(If you choose to remain anonymous, that's fine too)



People who read The Embryo Man will never forget,

how wonderful life could have been.

In no way will I answer any questions relating

to, or involving Chapter 32. With that said, you

may go in whatever direction it is you choose..
