Set against the backdrop of a city
under quarantine, Gospel for the Damned is an episodic and
introspective novel that follows young journalist Aaron Garrett on
his three day assignment within sequestered San Francisco. His
assignment: Interview The Elliots, family of the missing minister
suspected of releasing the deadly Omega virus.
What he finds is a fractured community
and a myriad of ways of facing hopelessness: clinging to normalcy in
banal routines; thrill seeking in dangerous truth-or-dare games;
mercy killing and federally sanctioned euthanasia; embracing sorrow
through macabre celebrations; and searching for God where faith has
been abandoned.
Together with The Elliot Family, Aaron
embarks on a mission to save someone, anyone, from a doomed
existence.
This is Gordon Gravley’s first
literary work, and its philosophical leanings may very well provoke
questions of your own about the world we live in, and the future we
face.
Excerpt:
It was an opportunity that would make
my career or crumble it, and I’d like to say it came to me by way
of my diligence and journalistic talent. But truthfully, I was given
the assignment for the simple reason that I was the only one on staff
at the Sound who tested as resistant to the Omega virus; it
was my luck to be in the 2 percent of the nation immune to a disease
that, to date, had wiped out a third of the West Coast’s
population.
