Vomica

THIS BOOK AND ITS AUTHOR NOW BANNED BY SUCH AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES AS RUSSIA AND FLORIDA. READ THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL TICK OFF A CENSOR.CW: plague, disease, pandemic, graphic violence, languageThere are some who say this story is cursed. The scenes come from fevered dreams. As it was written, a plague struck the Earth and did not abate until all of it was written and all its own blood spilt. If you do read it, read quickly, lest the curse prove true and you welcome ruin upon us again.In this tale, an older world is overrun with plague. The plague takes all peoples, dragging them slowly across fields of pain and filth, making them the very doom of their entire families, spreading contagion on all who would approach with a kind hand. While the people scramble to find what cures and palliatives they can, the authority of the church proclaims to know what this is: a curse sent by the heathen against the faithful. This tale follows two monks and a nun, sent on the holy mission to overrun heathen and heretic and cure the disease. But as they walk past the ill and pleading, telling them to remain faithful, and threatening any who would leave a church that offers no salvation from this torture, the questions of what is a truly righteous act raises itself in all minds.Relating to many of the themes our world has just faced, perhaps timely, perhaps scarring, Vomica will drag you through the Hell of Earth and the Hell of the Mind to make you ask: "What is true?" Hopefully your answer can guide you forward.
