"It's stylistically and conceptually ambitious, and while the subject matter and themes are dark and disturbing, this is an instance where it's done well and with a purpose beyond simply shocking and disgusting the reader (and with considerable style no less)." - Biblioculus "Dangerous literature at its finest." - Max Booth III (Author of Carnivorous Lunar Activities) "It is a story of becoming. Of enduring strength in the center of madness that surrounds you." - Autumn Christian (Author of Girl Like a Bomb) "An enthralling story written with the dark style of a flowing classic." - Bibliophilia Templum
"This is an unpleasant, raw, and disgusting masterpiece." - Meltdown Messiah
Pregnant with her father's child, nineteen-year-old Courtney is a girl on the run, willing to do anything to make her way on the road. When a car accident leaves her wounded by the side of a desolate highway, she is taken in by an environmentalist doomsday cult led by the enigmatic Saint Ambrose, a charismatic preacher and ex-environmental scientist who gave up everything after claiming to see the face of God. When he meets the seemingly vulnerable Courtney, he is taken by her beauty and her wounded soul. Now, with the promise of salvation hanging in the balance, Courtney must undergo a series of trials, each more painful and humiliating than the last, her incestuously conceived baby growing in her womb, a strange presence visiting her at night and telling her Ambrose has lost his way and it is she who must overthrow him.
