The Vexed and Venerated: Four Testimonials of Torment versus T...

Contained within are four tales of the human spirit. Set in Kellum's hometown of New Orleans, this author takes us on a quartet of expeditions into the darkness where the only guiding light is the human heart. Whether fueled by desires to do good for friends, family, or society as a whole - the characters introduced here are all fighting against death, damnation, or disbelief in hopes of coming out clean on the other side. A friend risks his life, sanity, and soul to rescue his childhood companion from a curse he placed upon himself. A man is visited by a familiar face who seems to be wholly unaware that his funeral took place only a few blocks away a decade ago. Young idealists with a dream of social equality for all unleash the bloodthirsty spirit of justice. A desperate husband rolls the dice against eternal damnation in save his wife from a slow rotting purgatory. K. Banning Kellum invites the boldest among you to once again follow him into parts of New Orleans not found on tours, maps, or the comprehension of the sane.
