Empty Sky Edan Benn Epstein

Elliott Singleton, a frightened and repressed young man still living with his parents, walks out his front door and boards a bus that he desperately hopes will help him start his new life. He takes with him nothing but money stolen from his father and the vague hope of an illicit connection with an older cousin. His father's delay in searching for him risks putting his son forever out of reach. Elliott escapes from his routine but he cannot escape from himself and his forward momentum only takes him deeper and deeper into a nightmare landscape of ghastly beauty and alluring descent, one which will force him to either at last rise to his own humanity or which will instead consume and destroy him and others entirely.
