β¦ Synopsis
Welcome to the world of John McIlveen. Enter, please, but be warnedβ¦ here you will find tales that blur the lines of horror, vengeance, humor, sorrow, and humanity. You will encounter broken people with dark secrets and darker desires. Meet Justice, whose art exposes your soul. Ride along as a manβs search for his daughter reveals that sometimes the best way to heal old scars is to make new ones. Go on vacation with the Sethβs, who are forced to play a game that is every parentβs nightmare. Play a Sunday game of softball with the most unusual team imaginable. You will experience the foulest parts of humanity, as well as the funniest and sweetest. Some of these stories will make you laugh, some will anger or shock you, but all of them will affect you. You will love, hate, and sympathize with the characters, possibly at the same time.
βMcIlveen paints with a broad palette of colors, and he blends them and highlights them with a masterβs touch. Tragedy and comedy, vengeance and salvation, hope and horror, the absurd and the sublime, all skillfully worked into the same pages and presented here for our enjoyment.β β James A. Moore, Author of The Seven Forges series
