“Eerie Comfort” Soy Wax Candle by Marvel + Moon
Comes in a 3 oz. black tin.
Inspired by Mark Lamoureux’s In Search of, a poetry collection that wanders the unexplained, this candle evokes the eerie comfort of late-night broadcasts, grainy VHS tapes, & forgotten case files. Notes of ozone, cold iron, industrial zinc, weathered teakwood, cedar, leather, patchouli, dark musk, sandalwood, & amyris conjure abandoned observatories, humming transmission towers, & unseen presences lingering just beyond the signal. Adorned with a hand-poured wax skull, it is an invitation to cross the threshold & listen for what waits in the static.
Scent Notes:Ozone. Cold Iron. Industrial Zinc. Teakwood. Cedar. Leather. Patchouli. Dark Musk. Sandalwood. Amyris.

Book Praise:
“What a strange cosmos was formed by the cathode-ray television, that it gave us John Kenneth Galbraith’s description of Karl Marx’s idea of London, Louise Lasser’s one-sided conversations with an absent god over a bakelite telephone, and Leonard Nimoy himself, evoking the ‘cosmic holocaust’ of the formation of the sun. That period in television seems as remote to us now as Phobos in its Martian orbit, but the archival weirdness of Mark Lamoureux’s poetry can make the medium accessible to us again.”
—Greg Purcell, author of The Fundaments
