Thus Spoke Alpha & Omega: And Other Stories from a Charismatic Studio
Pynewood Press is proud to present ‘Thus Spoke Alpha & Omega And Other Stories From A Charismatic Studio’, by Shmuel Barber.
It is available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook. It is also available from worldwide bookshops including Barnes & Noble and Waterstones.
A teenager plays a game of sin chicken; an amateur archaeologist follows the lead of a creature present when tongues of the Spirit fell upon the disciples; a man born with euphoria attends a gender reveal party for his child which entails unforeseen consequences; and a woman brought up in a cult with one leg shorter than the other goes to a faith healer for regeneration.
Thus Spoke Alpha & Omega is a wild, darkly absurd, and visceral collection of stories that encompasses themes of faith, sex, death, and psychology in the complex world of the Charismatic movement and beyond. Shmuel’s beguiling tales, brimming with caustic wit, intensely poignant and in some cases violent, encourage the reader to question their own faith and place in reality. You don’t need to have had any experience in religion to enjoy this thrilling, tantalising book.
Shmuel’s second book The Massage of Erasure was released in December 2025. Take a look here.
