With his staggering imagination and beautiful prose voice, Jones proves himself to be among the absolute best of our contemporary writers of weird fiction.” Throughout this standout debut collection, there are compelling themes of identity, transformation, and inescapable doom, enacted against vivid backgrounds both mundane and nightmarishly alien. ![]() Jones blends mind-blowing science fiction and mysticism with Lovecraftian concepts, stunningly mutated into unique configurations to excite even the most jaded Mythos reader. ![]()

I am deeply invested in more than one element of Kristin Kobes Du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne. Consider this review a cri de coeur over a book written as a cri de coeur. I have reviewed dozens of books in my professional life, but this review will be different.

But hope is central to a Christian historical method. ![]() All we have before us as we reach the end of the book is a cliff edge, with no path forward to forgiveness and reconciliation.

I don’t pay attention to resale value or frequency of appearance, so I’m afraid I really can’t tell you how rare your copy of the book is, or how much it’s worth.
