Four Darks

A cruel father, a twisted affair with an older man, and a mysteriously missing mother send sixteen-year-old Jack on a fateful journey exploring obsession, the will to survive and the desperate wish to belong.

On his birthday, in an effort to escape his sadistic father, Jack wanders frozen London—and encounters an intriguing stranger. The man feels like the perfect present, a glimmer of hope at just the right time. But as he falls for the much older James, a toxic game of courtship and rejection plunges Jack down an unsettling path...

"Captivating, Powerful, Emotional, and Beautiful."
Amazon Review

"The story is gripping, disturbing, and heartbreaking and at the same time it leaves the reader inspired by Jack’s perseverance. The book evokes a tremendous amount of emotion and deals with some weighty topics but left me with a sense of utter hopefulness. The characters are diverse, compelling, flawed and utterly human. The author leads us on an experience that delves into abuse, longing, desperation, cruelty, identity, and fate. And he does so with humor, a touch of sexiness, and compassion."
