Satan's Children

By Richard Hennerley

A world where the system is rigged against you, from birth to death, and money and power flow only upwards, from the Ordinary People to the Greedy One Percent. who are Satan's Children. A world where journalists are professional liars and peddlers of propaganda. A world where politicians deceive with fake promises of 'change' and 'hope', yet whoever you vote for nothing ever actually does change. A world of Fakebook and iDiotphones and group-think where expressing a different viewpoint is not acceptable. A world where, whoever you vote for nothing ever changes, because all the candidates are the Greedy One Percent's candidates...

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage at the current mess in which our country seems mired, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children's book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending. I don't know where this writer's been all his life, but I intend to catch up with him, and keep an eye on where he's headed next ... Bravo, Mr. Hennerly " - VINE VOICE

"This is the most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I have encountered in a very long time ever since my days as a theological studies student. To me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with my favorite classists such as Faulkner, Lawrence and Bellow. It subverts conventional morals and doctrines while anchoring the plot development and the characters upon what I would call authentic virtues, Intuitive Knowledge and Intuitive Truth. Hennerley speaks Truth in this world of lies that shackle us from birth and asphyxiate us into death, all the while conspiring against our very vitality of the spirit. Thank you Hennerley for shining a beacon of light amidst such darkness we live under." - US REVIEWS
