Released! ‘Thus Spoke Alpha & Omega’
Pynewood Press is proud to release ‘Thus Spoke Alpha & Omega And Other Stories From A Charismatic Studio’ by Shmuel Barber.
It is available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook and will eventually be available from Barnes & Noble.
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.
