The Downside of Immortality
The Last Dark Place is one of those books that make you think.I particularly liked the skewed version of Heaven and Hell portrayed in this novel.And the immortal Roman who bumbles through his everlasting life waiting for the Second Coming should not be missed.Beware the evil dream clown...

A Very Enjoyable Tale
After centuries of exile, Satan wants to return to the glory of Heaven. In order to make his return, he must find someone to replace him as ruler of Hell. Meanwhile, in a small town in New Jersey, a young man named Jimmy Christophe is having strange dreams and hearing voices coming from his air conditioner that make him think he is destined for something more than his normal life.

Mr. O'Brian has filled his novel with twists, turns, and bits of surreal humor like the Greek chorus of Arch Angels and gay bashers in superhero costumes. If you like the works of Clive Barker or Kim Newman, you will like "The Last Dark Place". ... Read more

Anything for love…

Max Fletcher, the last survivor of a long line of odd men dating all the way back to Elizabethan playwright John Fletcher, searches the city of Philadelphia for a soul mate, fearing that loneliness will drive him toward madness.With some help from a peculiar old neighbor, he meets Kayla Horn, a mysterious woman who fulfills all of Fletcher’s innermost desires.Before long, however, Fletcher’s world turns upside down when Kayla Horn steals a precious family heirloom—a folio believed to have been written by Fletcher’s famous playwright ancestor.

Infuriated, Fletcher breaks into Kayla Horn’s apartment to retrieve his stolen property.Once inside, he discovers a window that leads to Nowhern--an enchanted world created by a malicious spirit who covets what people love most.A fluke of magic strands Fletcher in the alternate world where his long, arduous journey home begins after he meets Delvenny Onepunch Sneezer, a pixie and self-described pugilist extraordinaire.

As Fletcher’s quest unfolds, he meets a vivacious witch, known as ‘The Toadbreeder’, who assists ‘the lost’ in finding their way home, an immortal aviator whose fabulous flying machine can hopscotch through various dimensions while moving forward and backward in time, and a mysterious traveler who knows more about Fletcher’s family than Fletcher does.The closer Fletcher gets to his goal, the greater the illumination on SCAM, the Secret Cabal of Ancient Mysteries, a secret order that knows a thing or two about Fletcher’s prized folio and the thief responsible for taking it… ...

That the English should have maligned him goes without saying, for he was one of the most formidable enemies they ever had in Ireland. But that his own countrymen should not have defended him is strange indeed. The fact is we have, in the main, been disposed to accept the English estimate of Shane. We have been rather inclined to regard him as a desperate character, a great fighter, but a man possessing no real intellectual qualities. Mr. Froude, summing up the English opinion, describes Shane as "an adulterous, murdering scoundrel" -- strange words, it will be admitted, from the panegyrist of Henry VIII.Shane's matrimonial arrangements were unquestionably irregular. He ran away with another man's wife, which was certainly unjustifiable, but he ran away with the husbandat the same time, which was at least original. But more of this anon. That he was a " murderer," Mr. Froude gives no proof whatever. Of course, he refers to the death of Matthew O'Neil, Shane's illegitimate brother. But there is no evidence to show that Matthew was " murdered." He was killed in a quarrel between his people and Shane's people ; but, however the matter was brought about, there is no evidence to show that Shane was present, or that he had anything to do with the business.It is Mr. Froude's own hero -- " Bluff King Hal" -- whom the description "adulterous, murdering scoundrel " suits to perfection.Shane O'Neil was something more t... ...
