Coil - The Universe Is A Haunted HouseTimeless Editions are publishing The Universe Is A Haunted House: COIL through their art and archives, a new 400-page full colour hardback book compiled from the personal archives of John Balance and Peter Christopherson.

The Universe Is A Haunted House: COIL through their art and archives is available for pre-order NOW,* only from Timeless Editions.

Order from the Timeless shop

*Unfortunately events beyond anyone’s control have led Timeless to push the shipping date back but – pandemic permitting – they hope to start shipping in the first week of December 2020.

The Cupboard Under The Stars: a peek into the John Balance notebooks

You get glimpses of what might have been and also an insight into how good at editing their own ideas Coil were. John Balance might have been canonised as the archetypal wide-eyed soul-in-flames, but here we can see the amount of revision he put into his work. Drugs and drink may have been a part of his stream of consciousness, but there’s more lucidity in here than you’d expect and a lot better editing. He’s more James Joyce than William S Burroughs.
