Not only an end of the world story... but a wake up call to all mankind.
Stephen Mullaney Westwood’s second novel is an intensely ruminative and philosophical journey through alternative dimensions of folklore, nature, mind and spirit...
Within the confines of a psychiatric ward,
Now strangely filling with so many new patients,
William attempts to piece together the troubled past which led him there,
While considering the fact that the world may no longer have a future...The shift is coming.
But...
The end of the world does not have to be a disaster.
And by travelling beyond the veil,
There might still be a chance to find utopia.
Although a very different novel to ‘Forgotten Things’ , fans of that book will recognise the reappearance of certain characters, along with the re-emergence of ecological, and pagan values... spiritual woodland journeys, and a deeper continuation of the faery realm mythos…
Praise for Stephen Mullaney-Westwood’s first novel ‘Forgotten Things’ (taken from various reviews):
...haunting, charming, odd, beautiful...
...a clever kaleidoscope of themes, interlaced like a Celtic knot...
...literally takes away your breath and showers you with goose bumps from the first page to the last… a masterpiece of narrative skill... pleading to mankind to finally accept and honour its own nature...
...you really need to read this book.
A must read for absolutely anyone.
Holds your attention from beginning to end...
...written so beautifully that your senses activate...
I could not put this book down...
...will keep you entranced and pushing forward to learn more.
...poetically invokes (sic) many emotions through both ornate and harrowing passages...
Artfully written, this story will take you to a far-away time, while you stand firmly in the present...
...wonderful character development...
...the author brings nature to life so vividly...
...it feels like a modern Gothic novel with its beautifully descriptive prose that transports you into the heart of the forest...
...magical and ethereal with a wonderful attention to detail...
This is one of those stories that will stay with me for a while...
...an almost lyrical tale with both light and dark moments that presents the foundation of magic as it should be…
...full of awe and wonder.
...indulge yourself in the richness of the experience.
I highly recommend it.
Great read.
