//RUN: Illustrated novel (in progress)
"I just...can't do this anymore."
When the fight to be yourself become too much, when you exhaust yourself and allow others direct you to who you are, who is even left?
This emotionally engaging story swells and oozes through the hellish turmoil as several outcasts slowly become affected by a dark entity that infects them. They each resist this unrelenting force, but inevitably fall. They tragically watch themselves manipulate, kill, and devour the ones closest to them. They each fight in their own way to retain their sense of identity and humanity.
Book 1: Echo of the Serpent
A visceral metal band and their rise to fame, overshadowed by grief and addiction. A badass on stage, a son slowly losing his mother when the mics go quiet.
Book 2: Anarchy in the USA
A reckless skateboarding punk, his girlfriend and newborn battling homelessness. A feral artist on the edge, yearning to use her art to make a different and not another goddamn logo.
Book 3: Ashes of Angels
A depressive kinky physicist who just wants to move on from his wild past, submits to his ballerina wife and dominatrix. Take me away from myself, rebuild me as I should be.
Book 4: Cruel and Unusual
Book 5: Not Exactly Sunshine
They each begin to notice strange things around the town ranging from disappearances, horribly mutilated bodies, sinkholes swallowing neighborhoods and bizarre physical anomalies.
I use cannibalistic parasites and body horror as a metaphor for themes like bipolar disorder, addiction, identity crisis, and obsession. It's an emotionally driven story with plenty of twists that claw into the thoughts we are too afraid to talk about. This story is for a mature audience with some very disturbing horror and adult content.
