Cursed by Day, Cursed by Night: A Mirror Novel

By Carl Richard

Cursed by Day, Cursed by Night is a mirror novel that tells the tale of one man cursed with two fates FATE I Sub Specie Aeternitatis: Living inside a mind that's present everywhere, one man who died sins to stay alive. Sub Specie Aeternitatis recalls the life of Camrin Triton, a peaceful college student, an intellectual chameleon who considers the human mind as a base by which God can be measured. He has an intense desire to compare the framework of God's mind with his own, and, plagued by the unavoidable uniformity, Camrin becomes enthralled by reality's persistent illusion as he's challenged by a depraved city and the inevitability of death, however invulnerable and self-determined. A unique tale of cultural perception, Sub Specie Aeternitatis illuminates Camrin's hidden intimacies and inescapable fate: the decision to or not to forfeit the love of his life and commit unexpected murder. Overwhelmed by vivid nightmares, despite the ever-escalating dreams, or perhaps because they may be conceived by someone else, Camrin Triton is feeling good about the future . . . FATE II Ghettonam: A daydreamer imagines Camrin Triton has recently been wondering if the material he amassed could get him into serious trouble. Perhaps he's right--because on a May Sunday morning, conceiving never to be written scenes some may have interpreted as a framework to pursue high treason, Camrin disappears. His son suddenly realizes his father is no longer home; his treasured girlfriend is convinced he left with another woman, and Camrin's brother-like cousins believe he may have been used up by the people that kept betting against him, and lost. One passive loved one learns what has been waiting behind society's boundless interactions: a presence which owes its very existence to the prey that makes it up. Camrin, alone, can never overcome this pervasive presence . . . After months of psychological suffocation the delightful nightmares that consume Camrin are his only means of escape.
