Incunabula Papers

The Incunabula Papers is a reference, basically, to a catalog of rare books (incunabula) that point to the secret of Ong's Hat, and the interdimensional travel cult that existed there. Some of the books are not very hard to find, like the ones by Nick Herbert or James Glieck. Some are more obscure or entirely non-existant or made up. 
==Incunabula Press==
The actual title of the catalog is this: INCUNABULA: A Catalog of Rare Books, Manuscripts & Curiosa, Conspiracy Theory, Frontier Science & Alternative Worlds. The proprietor of Incunabula Press (the supposed maker of this catalog of rarities) is said to be Emory Cranston.
The symbol INCUNABULA was chosen for our company for it’s shape - cocoon, egg-like, gourd-like, the shape of Chaos according to Chaung Tzu. Cradle: beginnings. Sleep: dreams. Silken white sheets of birth and death; books, white pages, the cemetery of ideas.
Questions plague those who follow the mystery of Ong's Hat and the Incunabula catalog: Did this company ever exist, and who is the mysterious Emory Cranston?
==The General Idea==
 The general idea or meme that this "catalog" is trying to convey is that there may be other worlds, other universes, other dimensions out there. The general story of Ong's Hat is found within the catalog's explanations of the books themselves. Generally it is a mythos that is told through the catalog's descriptions of the books that it is trying to sell the reader.
Overall, the Idea of the story of Ong's Hat is that there were a number of people who discovered a way to travel through dimensions, using merely their own bodies as the travel vehicle. These people were outcasts from various scientific and religious backgrounds, and gathered at Ong's Hat, deep in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens to create what is now known as a travel cult.
