Description

Greg Perkins' 19-volume 'Darkness Before Mourning' is one of the largest series of serious fiction ever created by a single author. Over 40 years in the making, the novels comprise over 10,000 pages in manuscript. Publishing the project has required an enormous editorial team to ensure that the complete series will be issued in only 2 years, starting with 'Volume I: The Announcers.' Each independent work forms part of a biographical continuum, exploring in profoundly dark semi-fictionalized form the author's searing experiences. Publication will commence with 'Volume I: The Announcers' in late 2014. This, the fourth volume of the series, will be published in 2014, with the rest of the works following within 2 years. Perkins' absolutist realism, unredeemed by faith, is best compared to Thomas Bernhard, Albert Camus, or Samuel Beckett. The series is a remarkable window into American society, life, family and personal relationships from the 1950s to the present. 'Harvest of Ashes' follows a boy who is told, after the death of his father in the 1950s, that he is responsible for the lifelong care of his mother. In 1980, a simple case of the flu leads to the worst imaginable series of medical catastrophes and her tragic death--under the care of her son.
