Description

Jesus and John is a reimagining of the New Testament as an allegorical horror novel. In this Weird tale, a fisherman named John is tasked with protecting the risen body of his lover, who was crucified for disrupting Roman order in Jerusalem. The body refuses to speak and walks in silence, leading John on a perilous journey to a mysterious mansion in Rome known as the Gray Palace. There, the inhabitants promise a celebration that may lead to a sacrifice John is unwilling to make. This powerful story of devotion incorporates Christian Gnosticism, Pagan dreams, and a contemporary will toward queer disruption. Adam McOmber's novel explores themes of love, faith, and identity in a unique and unsettling way. With its blend of horror, fantasy, and LGBTQ+ themes, Jesus and John is a thought-provoking and unsettling read that challenges traditional notions of devotion and sacrifice.
