Welcome to Nekyia House, the web site of Tim Osborn. It is also the site containing my book ‘Nekyia—a night sea journey’.

Nekyia is a descent to the underworld, as in Homer’s Odyssey, Book 11; the opening of Dante’s Inferno and Pound’s Canto 1. The purpose of a descent is, paradoxically, to learn how to rise: one goes down, like Odysseus & Pound, in order to learn from the dead how to return home again.

I’ve just added an alternative download site since it was evident that some people were having trouble downloading the book.

Also, here’s another form of my email address (lightly disguised) if you would like to contact me, and the web-based mail client is not working for some reason. Please write if you have any thoughts on the book.
