Three Eyed Man

Essens literary debut combines short stories brief poetry and three novellas: One follows a trouble young man as he wanders into a mystical desert to be alone. Another follows a group of friends in their senior year of high school as a mysterious transfer student leads them towards an ever more exciting and dangerous lifestyle. The final story follows June a twelve year old girl caught in the middle between her divorcing parents. One a devout Catholic the other a highly regarded shaman-for-hire. This surreal collection blends gritty realism and imaginative magic to weave a sometimes funny sometimes dark deeply personal exploration of finding ones place in the world.
