The Book
of Paul is
the first of seven volumes in a sweeping mythological narrative tracing the
mystical connections between Hermes Trismegistus in ancient Egypt, Sophia, the
female counterpart of Christ, and the Celtic druids of Clan Kelly.
About The Book of Paul
“Never alive…and never dead…”
In the rubble-strewn wasteland of Alphabet City,
a squalid tenement conceals a treasure “beyond all imagining”—an immaculately
preserved, fifth century codex. The sole repository of ancient Hermetic lore,
it contains the authentic alchemical rituals for transforming thought into
substance, transmuting matter at will…and attaining eternal life.
When a lusty, East Village tattoo artist has a
torrid encounter with a battle-hardened loner, they are overwhelmed by the
intensity of their feelings. Rose and Martin soon discover they are
unwitting pawns on opposing sides of a battle that has shaped the course of human
history. At the center of the conflict is Paul, the villainous overlord
of an underground feudal society, who guards the book’s occult secrets in
preparation for the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy.
The action is relentless as Martin and Rose
fight to escape Paul’s clutches and Martin’s destiny as the chosen recipient of
Paul’s sinister legacy. Science and magic, mythology and technology
converge in a monumental battle where the stakes couldn’t be higher: control of
the ultimate power in the universe—the Maelstrom.

The reviews are in!
The Book
of Paul
has been well received by reviewers who enjoy dark thrillers.
“Intelligent, self-aware, and often amusing,
while hitting all the markers for sadistic, salacious, and scary. Written in
short cinematic bursts from multiple viewpoints, The Book of Paul…weaves
in and out of the realm of alchemy, mythology, and ancient arcana. No ordinary
writer of horror…Richard Long is doubtless going to build a large and loyal fan
base composed of people just like him: literate folks with a bizarre sense of
humor who prefer salsa to sugar, red meat to broccoli, and a bucket of blood to
a bath filled with rose petals. They will be waiting for the next installment.”
-- ForeWord Clarion Reviews
"Totally absorbing! The Book of Paul is
moving, profound, funny, terrifying and never lets you go. The prose is swift
and sharp...at times, even poetic. Masterful storytelling. Hats off!!"
--Henry Bean, writer/director of THE BELIEVER
“Elegantly written and original, Richard Long's The
Book of Paul…is so suspenseful and entertaining that I could not it put
down, reading late into the night, wondering what the next chapter would bring.
I strongly recommend it. The reader will not be disappointed.”
-- James H. Cone author of THE CROSS AND THE
LYNCHING TREE
“I was greatly impressed. It is extremely hard,
if not impossible, to put down.”
--Michael Rips, Author of PASQUALE’S
NOSE
"Twisted, outrageous, relentless -- you
won't want to miss The Book of Paul."
--Greg Lichtenberg, author of PLAYING CATCH
WITH MY MOTHER
