Writing Resume
Below are a list of articles and books that Michael Szul has written and/or contributed to, encompassing a wide variety of subjects, including the counterculture and the occult.
The articles/essays for Konton Magazine and The Best of Konton Magazine are very "chaos" oriented, and ought to be read within the context of knowing that "Konton" is a Japanese word meaning "chaos," and Konton Publishing is a division of ChaosMagic.com, owned and operated by D.J. Lawrence. These pieces (with the exception of "Demons Dreaming") were specifically written for those interested in chaos magic and should be read and understood accordingly.

Out-of-Print Books
The full-length books below were self-published when I was operating a niche publishing house named The Midknight Club (well before the video game ever came out). These books broke my expectations when it came to success in their respective sub-cultures.
- Demonology: The Hierarchies of Hell. Browns Mills, NJ: The Midknight Club, 2000.
- Out the In Door: New Techniques in Lucid Dreaming. Browns Mills, NJ: The Midknight Club, 1999.
