The Death of Three Colours Jason Michel

Jonah is on the very edge of society and his sanity. With the death of a friend, events spiral out of control leaving him struggling with his demons. TDo3C is dark and surreal tale of organised crime, betrayal, the nature of evil and one man's obsession with the Mexican folk saint, Santa Muerte - Most Holy Death. And who can avoid her? From the foreword by Richard Godwin, author of The Pure and the Hated - "Jason Michel's The Death Of Three Colours exists beyond genre and definition like that song which carries its refrain into another realm of hearing. It is at once a piece of lyrical prose, a piece of subversion, a threnody and a religious hymn. Michel is an author who delves into the culture of prevalent times, who explores and excavates the ontology and disintegration of our consciousness, of the discontinuous world hemmed in by border control, political programming and lies. This work is both beautiful and angry, agonised and real. It is as much about a hunt for a lasting sexual experience as it is about the negation of self and alienation as the only way out within a society programmed to obedience." "This is a crime / horror novel and I must in all conscience include a mild warning for potential, psychologically unsound and emotionally unstable readers - prolonged reading usage may cause addiction..." - Sonia Kilvington, author of the DI Flynn Mysteries
