With Cain Go Wander (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977249913)

Those who enjoy a tingling shudder or have awakened to find their bedside alarm clock often shining 3:00 AM will appreciate With Cain Go Wander and the storyline that moves across time interwoven with a high degree of historical accuracy and religious iconography both Biblical and apocryphal. Young adults who relish TV shows like Showtime's Penny Dreadful would be attracted to this work as well as older audiences that remember Rod Serling's iconic The Twilight Zone. Considering film, younger audiences familiar with Season of the Witch, The Nun or The Exorcism of Emily Rose would find similarity while older adults would find The Robe, Demetrius and the Gladiators or The Silver Chalice comparable. With Cain Go Wander we enter a world of perpetual twilight and walk the metaphysical domain among demon catchers who understand the tongues of exorcists. We walk with our protagonist, Levitus, a conjure man both blessed and cursed by God on his timeless quest to right a great wrong. We walk with archangels, demons, Apostles, centurions, gladiators and warrior monks in places called Jerusalem, Judea, Golgotha, Rome, Roanoke and the Devil's Tramping Ground. Images flood our minds with shape shifting silhouettes of evil that dance on cavern walls and of strong ships that crash in the midnight blackness of forsaken seas. The slice of gladiator sword and the horror of beast fights in the arena we absorb to full measure. We begin to understand the human fear that resides in the deepest causeways of our spinal columns. That of an evil that is ancient, one that can applaud murder and take miserable delight in deformity. Is it hypocritical of the author to deceive the reader with the promise of a good shudder only to discover it may all be a simple matter of Faith? Let the reader, as it always should be, judge the author's guilt.
