The Sacrament of Lust

By Bruce E. Weber

Link Porter is an Iraq war veteran suffering from agoraphobia. He’s terrified of open spaces, bright lights, loud noises, and crowds. He spends his days holed up his tiny darkened apartment, reading psychology textbooks and endlessly psychoanalyzing himself

But Link Porter comes to realize that running from life is not always so easy, that sometimes a man’s fate comes searching for him as relentlessly as the Hound of Hell, and that one afternoon, on a Saturday like any other, would come knocking at his door.

Bruce E. Weber

Bruce Weber grew up in Indianapolis, in the neighborhood that is the setting for Dark Manna. He moved to Arizona in 1998. He lives in Tucson, where he is self-employed. Bruce says the writer who has influenced him most is James M. Cain, who wrote the Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and Mildred Pierce. Of Cain’s work, Weber says, “Cain told more story with fewer words than any writer I know of, and from reading his books, I became imbued with his own worst fear: a gnawing terror of boring the reader.”
