Erosion

I have published a speculative fiction story about a man who is haunted
by the spirits of his Native American mythology.

The story is about a Native American, driven to madness by his
experience growing up in the small upstate New York town of Canyon Park

being discriminated, molested and ostracized. In his mind, various
characters of his tribe's mythology and American popular culture vie
for his soul. He terrorizes the residents of Canyon Park, murdering
those he judges guilty, to punish them for their crimes against him and

his ancestors. Strangely, since the killing spree began, there has been

a deluge of constant rain adding to the dismal mood and hampering
efforts to stop him while the resident also battle nature?s fury.
Under
these conditions, various characters gather from places as close as the

local library, to as far away as New York City, to absolve their sins
and stop their beloved town from being eroded away.

The title of the book not only refers to physical erosion under
constant rain, but emotional, mental and cultural erosion as well. All

the characters are eventually stripped bare in this trying time and
face their naked souls, their dark inner parts that they are afraid to

see and their true selves. Guilt is also a very singular theme in the
story. America?s national guilt over the destruction of the Native
American culture is weaved through the motivation of the characters as

they struggle with the consequences of acts they committed in the past

or the acts of their kin.

The front and back cover art was designed by Lon S. Cohen. The cover
image is one of his mixed media pastel paintings called Wire Face.
