Summoned into her dying mother’s coma, recovering addict Eunice Ames must traverse a surreal, apocalyptic dreamscape in search of three generational spirits who have imprisoned her mother’s soul.

Together with Joseph, a crippled drifter who serves as her guide, Eunice treks an abandoned highway strewn with debris from her mother’s “emotional” wars. Along the way, she encounters Mister Mordant, a perpetually whiny grub, Reverend Ash a fragile, supremely self-righteous minister, and Sybil, a beautiful sylph with a knack for deception. Eunice and Joseph endeavor to lead this peculiar brigade into the hell of her mother’s making, through the swamp of Mlaise and the volcanic plains of Cinder, to the Dark Throne where they were forged. Along the way, Eunice experiences, in awful living color, the forces that have shaped her mother’s descent into madness and disease.

Yet a more malevolent power conspires against Eunice. For not only is she forced to relive the psychological terrain of her own upbringing, she must now confront the darkness it has spawned... the one inside her. It seems Eunice has harbored horrors of her own; years of abuse, rejection, and generational sin have taken root. And no amount of psycho-babble and positive thinking can withstand the literal monster that is waiting at the end of this highway. Can Eunice destroy the spirits that have cursed her family and rescue her mother, or will the sun set on their hell forever?

The Wizard of Oz meets Dante’s Inferno in this novella (27,000 words), a dark adult fairy tale about finding faith, redemption, and confronting the monsters of our psyche.

4,0 su 5 stelle A thought-provoking tale
Recensito in Australia il 14 febbraio 2017
Acquisto verificato
Hmmm one to ponder and totally unique. This is a journey into someone's psyche and about vanquishing demons. The main character has to face the issues that have bound both her and her mother. There are some correlations with Christianity here but the emphasis in on Eunice herself confronting her problems. A dark Alice-in-Wonderland experience? Definitely worth reading if you like something a bit different.

4,0 su 5 stelle John Bunyan meet Tim Burton
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 novembre 2011

The title for this review is fitting for both the substance and style of Mike Duran's venture that defies being pigeon holed to one genre. Eunice's surreal adventure of discovery as led by Joseph her guide is mindful of what John Bunyan might have done with Pilgrim's Progress if he lived today and Tim Burton offered to write the screenplay. I say this as an utmost compliment. Triggered by an automobile accident, Eunice finds herself in a fantastic journey into what she believes to be the comatose landscape of her mother's mind. She is joined by a sniveling slug of a fellow by the name of Mordant, a young girl named Sybil, and nose-in-the-air Reverend Ash. All along the way her companions do everything they can to deter her from reaching her goal.

The writing is crisp and never apologizes for the sheer weirdness of the story. In many ways it reminds me of the style of Marc Schooley's Konig's Fire. I will admit that Mordant's dialogue and character got on my nerves at times but I suspect the author intended it that way. The use of adverbs got a bit heavy but that is probably more a matter of taste on my part than anything. Beyond that, this is an excellent example of why eBooks are so important. Novellas don't have much of a home anywhere else. But for less than $2.00 you get a ripping good story that could easily make any rainy afternoon worth staying home.

5,0 su 5 stelle An excellent book!

This is a compact book that really gets into symbolism, psyche, and dreams, with a dash of urban legend and a strong sense of folklore. But it's an easy read, wonderfully vivid, and absolutely worth your time!

5,0 su 5 stelle Worth the short time in Nightmareland
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 aprile 2012

I have to get this out there, this was pretty creepy, even in comparison to Mike's debut, The Resurrection.
Eunice Ames just had an accident happen while on the way to the hospital to visit her comatose mother. Only to have something really bizarre happen- be allowed to enter an interdimensional doorway to a place far beyond human comprehension at first. Part of the bizarre things that happen is meeting a peculiar cast of characters- the highly pessimistic critter called Mister Mordant, the self-righteous (and obnoxious) Reverend Ash, and the enigmatic nymph known as Sybil. Yet all these characters have strange secrets connected to Eunice and, more importantly, to her mother. So does the strange environments, the nightmaric creatures that don't have to have the obvious frightening imagery to be downright unnerving, and the journey itself.
Sure quite a bit of stuff can be seen as obvious allegory, but it feels that that's part of the fun reading.
I do hope the creeps continue into Mike's next book, The Telling.

3,0 su 5 stelle Alice leaves Wonderland and stumbles into Mordor
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 giugno 2017
Acquisto verificato
Author Mike Duran aptly describes this as a dark fairy tale. The novella explores the allegorical landscape of a troubled mind, and I enjoyed the vivid imagery. It is a rock-solid premise that I think could have been more fully mined, especially by fleshing out Mordant, Ash, and Cybil more intricately. However, the story's brevity engages the reader's own interpretation as the story unfolds. A fun, quick read that leaves you with something to think about.
