The Kindness Of Ravens

Daren was always ahead of the curve, a prodigal son without focus or direction. As his supercharged empathy begins to manifest, revealing brief glimpses into higher dimensions, he falls in love with Lee, a Californian gypsy who might be an ancient Native American demigoddess. Straddling the thin line between excess and addiction, Daren soon discovers balancing the ethereal and the material is no small undertaking even for a supposed whiz kid. Set against the decadent backdrop of 1980's California, his journeys will take him from the idyllic ranch country of the gold coast to the sweat-soaked concert arenas of Los Angeles to the underground sex clubs of San Francisco. Joining Generation X staples such as Bright Lights Big City and Less Than Zero, 'The Kindness Of Ravens' is a tale of magical realism wherein a young man's struggles with substance abuse and the perils of spiritual revelation may result in nightmare, death, or worst of all, madness itself.
