A lonely man in Los Angeles is told a unique tale - a passion
play that shed light on the events before the creation of
the world. Constructing the Universe is a vast task - and
up in Heaven, God has allocated roles to all of his angels,
even is the roles are more ineffable than others. But when
a murder takes place - the first murder - an archangel is
assigned to investigate...
Originally
a short story and radio play written by Neil Gaiman, with
a movie currently in the pipeline, Murder
Mysteries
is a beautifully envisaged work of art.
Looking
at how the Universe may have been created and how mankind
came to be as screwed up as he finally did may be the result
of God's workers, or Angels as we know them.
The story starts when one man meets up with an old flame and
then leaves, with no memory of how he left. It is then he
meets a homeless guy on a park bench who tells him the story
of creation.
Could
these be the mad ramblings of a drunken loner with a mental
health problem? Or is he really one of God's original workforce?
P.
Craig Russell's artwork brings to mind, on more than one occasion,
the style of Jim Baike and his views of the otherworld are
breathtaking to behold. If
you want a darn good read that offers food for thought then
this is worth every penny.
