Description
“Was it all pre-made, this part I played, or did I close my own evens and odds?
Or were my joys and pains no more than chips in a game of roulette between Fate and the Gods?”
On the night when Fear gave up on Love, he created a force that would change the course of Spiritland forever…”
A dark and electrifying spoken-word novel of revolt, revenge, and redemption, Trouble In Spiritland is a mythic tale for our time.
When the Spirit of Hate is born into a world of poverty, his desire for revenge against those responsible for the injustice of his upbringing set him on a path to fulfil his prophecy as a saviour to all those suffering from society’s neglect.
Yet, as Hate’s passion for justice grows, so too does his propensity for destruction. As war is waged against all those complicit in the hardships of the poor, Hate seeks revenge on the spirits he believes abandoned him from the start – the Spirits of Love, Kindness and Compassion.
It’s only a matter of time until Hate discovers the true cost of a life driven by hate, when hatred erodes us from within.
Looking through the lenses of self-worth, moral duty and social justice, Trouble In Spiritland is a gripping epic-poem, with an ever-sharpening cultural significance, drawing parallels with our own widening class divides, growing inequality and social poverty, while weighing up human spirit’s propensity for compassion and desire to act in such times.
