Book Description
I walk all the way up Hollywood Boulevard to Grauman's Chinese Theatre: past tourists snapping shots; wannabe starlets sparkling by in miniskirts with head shots in their hands and moondust in their eyes; rowdy cowboys drinking with drunken Indians; black businessmen bustling by briskly in crisp suits; ladies who do not lunch with nylons rolled up below the knee pushing shopping carts full of everything they own; Mustangs rubbing up against muscular Mercedes and Hell's Angels hogs. It's a sick twisted Wonderland, and I'm Alice. Here is a story like no other: The unforgettable chronicle of a season spent walking the razor-sharp line between painful innocence and the allure of the abyss. David Sterry was a wide-eyed son of 1970s suburbia, but within his first week looking for off-campus housing on Sunset Boulevard he was lured into a much darker world — servicing the lonely women of Hollywood by night. Chicken—the word is slang for a young male prostitute—revisits this year of living dangerously, in a narrative of dazzling inventiveness and searing candor. Shifting back and forth from tales of Sterry's youth—spent in the awkward bosom of a disintegrating dysfunctional family—to his fascinating account of the Neverland of post—sixties sexual excess, Chicken teems with Felliniesque characters and set pieces worthy of Dionysus. And when the life finally overwhelms Sterry, his retreat from the profession will leave an indelible mark on readers' minds and hearts.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The war in Heaven reaches its climax as Mageddon, Supreme Commander of His Majesty’s Imperial Guard, loses his place of authority and is hurled to earth. Desperate to regain power, he terrorizes earth’s inhabitants luring them into a ‘Garden of Dreams;’ his version of Eden. But, the garden is a trick. It is the gateway to the Valley of the Shadow of Death—hiding a deadly surprise. When Koby Puller, a teenage Unidor and the son of the prodigal, is expelled from school for fighting, he sets out on an ambitious quest to do “Great Things.” After falling in with the wrong crowd, he enters the forbidden forest in search of a mystical gate that legend says, “can grant dreams.” Unaware he is divinely following in his father’s footsteps, he soon finds himself in an epic battle for his soul. Emerging from a mysterious fog, Koby discovers ‘The Scorpion Pass Gate,’ entrance to the garden, where a fee must be paid to enter. At the gate, he meets Lucky Lucy, a snake-eyed riddling trickster who speaks deceptively with riddles and songs. Cunningly deceived by Lucky, Koby becomes trapped in the valley of death where Mageddon’s soul-thirsty beasts endeavor to claim his soul. Hopelessly seeking escape, he learns of a Mighty Warrior Eagle named “The Augur” who patrols the valley rescuing everyone who calls out his name. This action pact Adventure Novel, straight out of Ezekiel 17, is an extraordinary journey about the realities of; life and death, love and hate, and trust and betrayal. But, most of all, it boldly proclaims the truth about God’s forgiveness found only in the sacrifice of His Son. It is filled with riddles, poems, songs, and messages that reveal the truth of Scripture and expose the lies of Satan in a style that will inspire youth and young adults to re-examine the cross and the grace it offers.
