About A Vantage of Darkness
In A Vantage of Darkness, reality is as fragile as memory and time is a labyrinth with no exit. In this non-linear cosmic horror novel, Mae Barrett, the young daughter of a Vermont family that travels west to homestead in the dark and secluded Coconino Forest of 1889, is unwittingly cursed by the Hopi god of death, Masau'u, to suffer an eternity of immortality. Mae comes to fumble with the consequences of what horrors immortality may come to entail, and is driven into the arms of dark occultism, leading to a century-long and grisly ritual that entails the summoning of demons, meditative ascension, and terrible sacrifice of both herself and others. Blurring the supernatural with the philosophical, A Vantage of Darkness is a meditation on time, fate, and self-abandonment; a novel that explores the horror of memory, the fear of eternity, and the question of whether our realities are real, or merely stories that we tell ourselves.
