Horror. Suspense. Fantasy. Sci Fi.

Adam is inspired by his religious upbringing and his adult conversion to atheism, his stubborn faith in the human race, and his refusal to flinch from the hard topics. No matter the genre, his work is known for its in-depth characters and a drive to find the light in dark places.

Controversial. Scathing. Honest.

Rebecca drags you headlong into the hellscape of a tortured young lesbian mother's mind—a journey that will end in either unspeakable horror for her infant child, or the triumph of a mother's love over darkness.

"A wonderful, beautiful book."
