The Dark That Shines

By Julian Vail

Ah, finally-you're here. I've been waiting for you. I've been waiting to bring you into the beginning of something big, something that starts with a glimmer of hope in this dark, broken world.

I ask of the people-the poor, the rich, and the middle class; the gangsters and the oppressed; the minorities and the forgotten cultures; the untouchables, the abused and the broken-to stand together in defiance of the state of the planet. Let us start by reading.

The Dark That Shines is a fictional coming-of-age novel. It is told through the eyes of Florian, a boy who is reflective, and dramatic in nature. During the twenty-year timespan of the book, Florian meets beautiful and memorable characters, he lives in fanciful cities adorned with symbolism, and from many profound moments, he grazes against the nerve of reality. Will he break? Or will he make sense of this dark world?

In repugnance, there is beauty.
In status, there is loathing.
When power is absent, it is created.
When greed is produced, it is destroyed.
To live is to die.
And to suffer is to flourish.
This is, The Dark That Shines.
