In the fall of 1931 Max Belote kisses his wife good-bye as he promises to be home for supper. At the precise moment she anticipates his return he steps into the path of a train. . . In 1977 convicted murderer Jeffrey Michael Roberts shares his final words, “The best time for me was just before the screaming stiooed and their voices hit that pitch,” describing the unusual measures taken in his quest to perfect his soul. . . In 2001, Edward Paine excelled as head coach at an alternative high school in Quinley, Texas. Few knew that he fought the embraces of a dark side compelling him to fulfill its evil desires. . . Separated by seven decades, Max, Jeffrey and Edward are connected through the power of Virago, whose indestructible evil manifests itself within each as it seeks domination of their souls. John Paul Allen takes his readers into a world where death only delays the inevitable. A journey of one soul through three lives, Gifted Trust lifts the reader to a new level of horror. Additional Information How author John Paul Allen concocts a gripping horror saga that weaves these three seemingly unrelated events into one is a mystery in itself. However, the power of Gifted Trust lies in its portrayal of a living, breathing being who thrives on malice. In doing so, Allen presents a dark side that draws his characters into performing horrendous acts. Gifted Trust is indeed a book not for the faint-hearted. John Paul Allen is so successful in creating images of extreme evil that readers will find it difficult not to think that Allen did the gruesome acts himself. However, the critical reader will appreciate his voracious style and vivid skill. One of the high points of his book is when Allen’s budding serial killer takes revenge against a typical school bully. There we find a shocking twist in the concept of childhood revenge. The images of broken glass mixed with ground meat, a necklace made of teeth and paws, and the bully’s beloved dog bleeding to death will shock everyone, but Allen’s gruesome tale will also appeal to those who have ever plotted revenge on a schoolyard tyrant. The acts detailed in Gifted Trust have put Allen himself through a lot of trouble. As testament to the effectiveness of his writing, Allen was officially censored from a Creative Writing class. He had to undergo a four-hour interview at a Texas police department and left with a warning that he would be watched closely. But all the trouble Allen had to go through for one book was well worth it. Check out Gifted Trust and find out why. |
