"Sebastian's Relativity" is a 36-page poetry chapbook featuring the writings of NJ-based Jonathan Greenhause. Released by Anobium in October '11, the aesthetic references the Anobium's literary magazine, the first edition which was released earlier in the year. Painted texture and image were utilized, influenced by the dark but whimsical absurdity found in Greenhause's writing.
