Moth and Man is a philosophical, character driven novel focused on two very different, yet bizarrely similar culprits trapped in the poor Appalachian town of Lackspew. Jud considers himself a prophet tasked with murder. Dove is an intellectual waiting for her mother to die from cancer so she can kill herself. Both of them are desperate for meaning, yet completely sure of themselves. What follows is an absurd journey into the grotesque nature of humanity, meaning and belief while exploring the concepts of morality, death and the intriguing idea of good evil. Jud kills out of delusional love and devotion. Dove delays for similar reasons. Their paths inevitably cross, and a couple mysterious murders set Lackspew ablaze with gossip and excitement. The novel is a shocking and enthralling black comedy that's equally as provocative as it is entertaining.A modern-day Southern Gothic, Moth and Man is a frightening tale of the what happens when faith is truly acted out, and whether or not that is a good thing. Written from differing first-person perspectives, the reader is left to decide who is ultimately right, if anyone at all. Suffering and redemption are two aspects of life everyone deals with to some extent, and this is a story that explores the meaning behind the two-or perhaps the meaninglessness.
