Follow the Devil: Stave One
Friends don't make friends read their dark fantasy novels ... but Follow the Devil / Follow the Light: Stave One (the first of nine) is slated for publication with Mockingbird the first week of September. Here's the "Note to Readers" that opens the novel:
Can the reality of Imago Dei eclipse the failings of an unlovable protagonist? Can the Christian imagination speak to a generation captivated by Stranger Things, Squid Game, and the Marvel universe? Can the means of pop culture advance theological ends? These were just some of the questions I wrestled with during the creation of Follow the Devil / Follow the Light.
What follows is a supposal, a work of fiction, a dark vision for dark times. There are fits of allegory throughout, but nothing to advance the tradition of Plato, Dante, Bunyan, Hawthorne, etc. I have no unique access into the provinces of the hereafter: infernal or beatific. Fortunately, neither do my readers. This side of the veil, we can only speculate “what dreams may come.”

Great to hear from you Bekah. It's being released free on the Mockingbird website as a nine week serial. The plan is to release it via Kindle after this initial run.
