Sons of Neverland (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989693882)

Set against a backdrop of contemporary culture, Sons of Neverland explores the universal questions of life & death, sex & love - the most crucial challenges every human being must face. Told in the poetic voice of myth, Sons of Neverland explores one man's grief as it plunges him into the realm of the vampire. Here, Stefan encounters Miquel, who is destined to become his maker. But the price of immortality is high and the vampire warns, "Through my blood you will learn a secret that will compel you to live forever, yet a secret so profane it will haunt you for all eternity."The secret will haunt you, too._____One Reviewer said..."What Sons of Neverland resembled to me was the creative hagiographies of Nikos Kazantzakis, where a few stylized characters deliver a message that goes way beyond the parameter of the characters themselves. And much like Kazantzakis, this book zones on the question of immortality. However, this is not just the decadent immortality of the long-lived vampire, it is immortality as a change in one's perception. This is the story behind the story, delivered by characters that are hyper-real - each one loaded with symbolism. Sons of Neverland will have you filled, even brimming over with the sense of Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans. Go there for a full helping of the numinous."____________________A print reviewer commented: Sons of Neverland challenges what we believe and brings the reader face to face with the possibility that absolutely nothing we have been told by teachers, peers and priests holds a single gram of truth. Sons of Neverland is told in the poetic voice of myth, from the perspective of a man devastated by grief as a result of the death of his daughter. As the story unfolds, Stefan's faith in gods and goodness is not only tested, but destroyed - leaving him obliterated, but simultaneously free for the first time in his life..."_______________Readers have compared Sons of Neverland to the works of Anne Rice, Carlos Castaneda, and Anais Nin. One reader summed it up as follows: "Sons of Neverland is one of the most erotic books I've ever read. It made me believe in the power of the human heart..." (Charlene J.)
