Rally, men! Uncle Samaya wants you to defend our home, the red, white and blue against our foes abroad, both far and wide, in foreign lands…or those within, stateside. Do not question our leader or his plan, he needs us united, unto a man, lest the enemy beat us, or we stray from the warpath, the American Way. Come away with him for basic training, follow orders, obey, Freedom reigning over your lives like a strange paradox: repeat the lies the way a parrot talks and know yourself to be free at long last, free from choice, uncertainty, and the past, living day to day, order to order, all things arranged, like a hostel boarder, never thinking about what could have been, but accepting the bloodlust with true Zen; never questioning the Neocon wars, nor the zero-sum games, the either-or’s. Come, men, become a devotee of Sam, learn the tenets of both lion and lamb, led about by the pride, but in a flock, fang and fleece, claw within a clove-hoofed walk, and from this oxymoronic conceit realize your potential: butcher and meat. For he is a tengu abducting boys to teach them combat before he deploys them against his foes, against those opposed to his eagle-winged rule, those as hard-nosed as the tengu himself, that red-faced elf whose eyes are affixed on power and wealth. A guru of blind faith, a tribal force— Rally men! Heed his warcry! “Stay the course!”
Stephen Marshall. Writer, illustrator, layabout. Find him on Amazon, maybe. He has paperback and kindle books listed there. He seems to have a knack for the Romance genre, much to his chagrin. Having pursued Children's literature he is particularly proud of his Children's novel series "Lost And Found", which begins with "Chloe Among The Clover", continues recently with "Stormy Within The Strawberry Patch" and may, in some future potentiality, culminate with "Candice Through The Picket Fence". These are novels for children (including his insistent nephew), but they are also written for adults who are children at heart. His short story collection, "The Eldritch Diaries", centers primarily upon Cosmic Horror and Body Horror, combining Lovecraft's mythos with the motifs of Sigmund Freud. His largest poetry collection, "Broken Crown Kings", contains over two hundred poems and two short novellas concerning the fleeting nature of the world and Man's place within it. Recently he has published a smaller book of poetry concerning Kentucky, Moonshine, and Ghosts called "Moonshine And Spirit Chasers". A much larger collection, entitled '"Nevermore" 99 Rhymes For $0.99' is also available. For those seeking supernatural and folklore, his collection "Weeping Cherry" is available also. The copy in print features original watercolor illustrations.
