The Life and Partially Coherent Times of Linus Cain

by David Edward Wagner, Unknown Author

Finding himself a cult leader and in possession of a mystical Word, Linus Cain has more than just the end of the world to contend with when he meets the 'virgin' named Alma Denirow.

Linus Cain: a dark fable (1999) is David Edward Wagner's debut novella, a satirical exploration of spirituality and messianic cult mentality. First published in 1999, this cult classic is back beginning in 2014.

Called "a post-modern anti-Siddhartha," Linus Cain is a fast-paced read with a wounded hero whose very humanness may prove either his greatest asset or his greatest weakness. A parable of dark humor, dystopic zen aesthetics, and sparse writing, "Linus Cain: a dark fable" is a one of a kind experience.

Formerly titled, "The Life and Partially Coherent Times of Linus Cain."
This book contains: adult themes and language, drug use, sex, violence, mystical oddities.
