| Cover - "Andrew's Last Battlefield Vision" by Hannah |
Andrew is the story of a very young boy, the child of a very brilliant married couple who were also rather unusual scientists. It is a horror story about how Andrew tries to deal with an event more traumatic than anyone should ever have to experience, no matter what age they are. Juxtaposed with how he learns to deal with it as an adult, we are able to see who he developed into by that point in his life, and where his parent's efforts end him up. Everyone seems to want a piece of him. Those who once "loved" him cannot protect him, even from themselves. No one, except one.
Yes, there is certainly a lot going on. This is horror in its most dark and fantastical. Not, for the light of heart or easily offended, yet done with a deft hand.

"Andrew" sets up my epic Horror book, Death of Heaven, called a "story of stories" by one artist. You might find it more entertaining to read Death of Heaven first (also in paperback) as they are intimately interlinked, but in markedly different (and myriad) ways.
I'll say this again differently, if you are a Stephen King fan, you might want to skip these works. If you loved Clive Barker's "Books of Blood", then these are right up your alley. I'm not trying to compare these to Clive's works, but they contain a similar intensity in Horror elements. I'm also not comparing Andrew (which is a bit "lighter" in nature) to Death of Heaven which is a complexity of notions and a skewed reality across all of history.
Cheers!
