Jesus and John

<p><em>Jesus and John</em> is a Weird re-imagining of the New Testament as a novel of allegorical horror. John a fisherman from a rural village on the shores of Galilee is tasked with protecting the risen body of his lover who was crucified for disrupting Roman order in the city of Jerusalem. The body having miraculously emerged from its cave-like tomb refuses to speak and walks in a dream-like silence disrupting the clear-cut message of the Apostle Peter and eventually leading John on a dangerous pilgrimage to a mysterious mansion in Rome known as the Gray Palace. There the few inhabitants promise a celebration that may lead to a sacrifice John is unwilling to make. Incorporating Christian Gnosticism Pagan dreams and a contemporary will toward queer disruption Adam McOmber's new novel tells a powerful story of devotion.</p><p> </p>
