Synopsis

In this edgy, page-turning prequel to the Eve of Light series, dark humor, dark fantasy, and several subgenres of horror combine to explore an African-American teenager’s discovery of his true place in the universe.
Deep down, Robert Goldner knows he’s a mistake. His mother told him so when he was just five years old. But he never found the courage to ask just what she meant before she was murdered under mysterious circumstances on his eleventh birthday. 
Now, on the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Robert is dead set on becoming a Virginia high school state wrestling champion in order to redeem himself once and for all, reversing whatever curse his mother saw within him. One of the few blacks on a predominantly redneck team, Robert has struggled for years to remain clear-headed and independent in a school divided by race and conquered by cliques. But when something from Beyond takes possession of his body and mind, wrestling with his very soul, he may find his “birthday” to be a gateway to a horrifying truth about himself and the fundamental nature of Reality.
With stories set in a world where humankind’s twisted fantasies and most disturbing nightmares have manifested as pulsing, hard-edged realities, Eve of Light is a dark fantasy horror series unlike any other. Mind-bending and provocative. Dark fiction at its weirdest.
Due to its language and themes, BloodLight is intended for mature readers.

One thing I have to say about this book is that you sure as hell didn't see this kind of ending coming, based on the beginning. I only picked up this book because I was intrigued by the cover. Nobody likes to admit it, but you do read a book by its cover most of the time. Though Bloodlight isn't my......more

There are moments of sheer brilliance in author Harambee K. Grey-Sun’s BloodLight – The Apocalypse of Robert Goldner, however, they are very few and far between. There are a few world building sentences, just enough for the reader to surmise that this is not exactly our world, but a different version......more

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 2.0 of 5 Writing jacket copy and ad copy about a book can be an art form that rivals the writing of a book itself.  In this case, the paragraphs about the book are much more interesting than the book itself. Bloodlight is actually two......more

Imagine what would happen if a fantasy became best friends with the surrealists and decided to accept Jesus Christ into the crowd too? It would probably become BloodLight , this novel tells the story of Robert Goldner and his own personal apocalypse. He is one of the few African Americans in a mostl......more
