    About this ebook

    What if all those spooky stories you heard as a child were literally true? A teen on the verge of adulthood unlocks the secret of time travel. Thirteen-year-old Dennis Krause embarks on his adolescence living in the small town of Hades, Illinois, a steaming David Lynchesque slice of middle Americana in the early sixties. No one pays any particular heed when a Chicago psychic warns of a huge explosion that will soon destroy Hades. After the prophesied explosion strikes during a weekend family outing, Dennis and his family join a weird religious commune run by a radio evangelist--a charlatan calling himself Possle Strong. Dennis and an enigmatic young girl known only as Rahab discover that Strong has strange conjuring powers, including time travel and second sight. Strong pays special attention to the two teens, teaching them private lessons in what he calls "catty chism" after first swearing them to secrecy. When they discover Strong's plans to fake the resurrection of his dead wife, Dennis, his mother, his sister and Rahab flee the commune and take to the road, where, pursued by Strong and his confederates, they encounter sudden violence, spiritual visitation and redemption.

    Malachi Stone

    Marlon Brando on Larry King Live quoted an unknown Louisiana woman who said, "Anybody who shows his face in public is an ass." (1) Mindful of those wise words, I created the pseudonym Malachi Stone to author my novels and short stories because, as a practicing attorney in a conservative community, my natural inclination was and still is to avoid notoriety and controversy wherever and whenever possible. That being said, my secret identity affords me a perverse Zorro-like gratification. I've been writing for more than twenty years. For a three-year period I was represented by a fine literary agent (2) in Manhattan, who tried valiantly but without success to place my novels in traditional publishing. Allegedly, objections were raised to negative protagonists and explicit sex. While I am convinced those objections are groundless, I am weary of arguing the point. I'll simply let you, the readers, decide for yourselves. I have garnered many good reviews over the years. See, for example, Elizabeth White (3). Interviews of me may be found on the web, for instance, Steve Weddle, Fiona "McDroll" Johnson, Paul D. Brazill and Ian Ayres (4-7). Please feel free to post reviews of my work, good, bad, or indifferent. Only be sure to remember that most of my books, especially the later ones, are self-published without the dubious benefit of copyediting, content editing or censorship of any kind. So if you post reviews carping about bad language or finding flaws in punctuation, paragraphing or font, I frankly don't care. I'm putting these books out there for the sole reason I wrote them in the first place - to be enjoyed by readers. As my law practice has become more active recently, I have taken a sabbatical from writing but hope to resume soon. My personal and private email is: theoriginalmalachistone@gmail.com. I'd be delighted to hear from you!1. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0308/02/lklw.00.html2. http://variety.com/exec/stacia-decker/3. http://www.elizabethawhite.com/tag/malachi-stone/4. http://www.spinetinglermag.com/2011/04/20/conversations-with-the-bookless-malachi-stone/5. http://imeanttoreadthat.blogspot.com/2012/01/american-banshee-by-malachi-stone.html#!/2012/01/american-banshee-by-malachi-stone.html6. https://pauldbrazill.com/2012/01/19/short-sharp-interview-malachi-stone/7. http://nigelpbird.blogspot.com/2010/09/dancing-with-myself-malachi-stone.html
