About this ebook
A Thing of Dark Imaginings is a morally ambiguous tale of loss, grief, and revenge. Amir travels a road of grief. He and his wife Serena lose their only child, Lelah, in a mass shooting at her college. She is one of seventeen victims, including the lone shooter.
Serena begins to recover from the tragedy, but Amir loses ground. Though he identified her body for the police, Amir cannot remember what Lelah looked like as an adult. He begins to hallucinate. He sees old memories from Lelah's childhood as if they were unwinding right in front of him. He sees visions of Lelah, playing in front of him. These become more vivid... and frightening. Amir develops a voice in his head, a vicious, profane, furious voice, which he calls The Beast. The Beast wants one thing only: revenge against the “gun people” it holds responsible for Lelah's death. The Beast wants blood.
Like any decent man, Amir resists at first. Later, faced with his own death, he agrees to do as the Beast desires.
His quiet middle-class life will be drenched in blood, and he will struggle to save what has not been lost.
