RATTLERSE MAJOR is a print-your-own read-along booklet containing 22 pieces of poetry, microprose, screenshots, addenda, laundry labels, you name it! - about a parasite-haunted office block, and the people who work and eat and breed and die there.

It is also a guide for the use of RATTLERSE MINOR: a Tarot-type deck of 22 cards, featuring original scanned felt collage art and reflecting the forms and lifestyles of 22 real-life parasites. 

Use them apart and together! Diagnose your friends!

The free download is a .pdf containing RATTLERSE MAJOR and RATTLERSE MINOR. That's the full 47-page RATTLERSE booklet, with an additional 13-page supplement of ready-to-cut-out cards for whatever purposes you see fit.

The paid download (for a donation of £2.00 or more) is for RATTLERSE+, in a special print-ready format! In this version, RATTLERSE MAJOR- is the guide booklet without the card supplement, for a clean print, while RATTLERSE MINOR is included as the original, high-quality 300dpi artwork for each of the parasite cards, ready to be printed via any suitable service. I insist!

RATTLERSE+ also includes 925.mp3, a gentle piece to encourage contemplation and infestation while reading (volume warning), as well as high-quality card art for the three missing cards - the whaler barnacle Cryptolepas rhachianecti, the oak gall wasp Cynips quercusfolii, and the drinking mite Varroa destructor, together at last. Home, once removed.
