Max's Fools
Author: Mitchell J. Rycus
Publisher: First Edition Design Pub.
ISBN: 1506900488
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Max's Fools is about an African-American engineer, obsessed with contacting his mother who passed when Max was only seven years old. It was two days before Max's 77th birthday and his children were throwing him a party at his daughter's house when they asked him to tell the whole story of those unnerving events earlier in his life. Max realized then that it was time to recount his mission into that ungodly world of the occult, and the pain it caused him, his employees, and their families. He also realized, when they asked him to tell them the true facts about what was going on back then, that his activities must have caused pain and much misunderstanding in his own family as well. He told them everything about all the paranormal activities he tried, including the voodoo ceremony and other unusual approaches he took trying to reach out to his dead mother. He was convinced that he was on the right track in contacting her, but he just fell short of actually reaching his goal. He felt that he needed to draw on his own experiences and culture to accomplish the task. Finding a cousin, almost by accident, who was knowledgeable about his family's background into mysticism and the dark arts, he modified his approach and the results were astounding as well as terrifying. Max's Fools is a compelling look into the mind of an educated engineer who was lured into a non-science based approach to try and discover his own demons
