Faith.

So much of our reality is determined by what we believe, and it can so easily become . . . undone.

Editors Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon have created an anthology that explores the dark side of faith and what it may mean. These twenty-six stories and five poems (130k+ words of content) may make you cry, may make you laugh, and will certainly terrify you.

You may never look at the light the same way again.

Another Summary:

The destructiveness of passion, both earthly and supernatural, makes cities bleed and souls burn across worlds, through endless time.

Experience the spiritual side of the zombie apocalypse in “The Days of Flaming Motorcycles” and transcend both hell and nirvana in “Zen and the Art of Gordon Dratch’s Damnation.” Look into “The Mad Eyes of the Heron King” to find the beautiful brutality written in the moment of epiphany or “Go and Tell it On the Mountain,” where Jesus Christ awaits your last plea to enter heaven — if there is a heaven to enter when all is said and done.
