The Mustard Prophecy: The Semi-Autobiographical Account Of My Exorcism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438246390)

The Mustard Prophecy, a semi-true story, chronicles Alex Bender's dark and comedic journey into psychosis. After a Halloween party where Alex ingests a psychoactive mixture, he understands that he carries a "beacon" inside himself that will trigger an invasion of aliens from a distant planet as prophesized by secret Gnostic texts and through the lyrics of the popular rock band, The Gypsy Sun. Alex must somehow purge this force for mankind to be safe. When Alex shows up early one Sunday morning at the local Presbyterian Church for his exorcism, the bearer of the donuts and the pastor of holy blue polyester refer him to the hospital. After many failed attempts at ridding himself of the alien seed, Alex begins to find the ingredients for his exorcism at the condiment bar of Our Lady of Mercy Hospital. Alex sees the symbolism of mustard, salt and non-dairy creamer as it relates to his upbringing in a 1970's conservative Mid-western environment.
