Escaping Purgatory: Fables in Words and Pictures
(2001)A collection of stories by
Gary A Braunbeck and Alan M Clark
| "I am both delighted and humbled to be collaborating with Alan Clark on one of IFD's first projects, a collection of thematically-linked short stories, novellas, and art entitled Escaping Purgatory (and which contains, methinks, some of the best writing and artwork either of us has ever produced). IFD Publishing is offering myself--and other writers and artists--a chance to create and present work in a manner unique to the publishing world: without interference, and with deep respect for the individual vision. The creative experience doesn't get any purer or better than this." Gary A Braunbeck |
| "Escaping Purgatory is a real Fourth of July firecracker of a book. I hope you treat it with all the reverence it deserves. Stuff of this quality is far too thin on the ground for any of us to be complacent." Peter Crowther |
Writing by Gary A. Braunbeck and Alan M. Clark. Art by Clark. Contains short stories and novellas, with approximately 28 pieces of art (5 color plates). Escaping Purgatory is about personal hells. We all create them. We find ways to convince ourselves that we are comfortable with the really cruel ones, at least for a while. It's understandable. After all change is frightening. But inevitably there comes a time when we are willing to do anything to end the torment. In this book you'll meet some of those extremes and perhaps you'll recognize yourself.
