Black River Lantern

Black River Lantern tells the saga of the Marivicos family through first-person narrations by the people surrounding them: a medical doctor and his reclusive wife, the denizens of a brothel, and a hard-nosed woman entrepreneur, among others. The central characters are the malicious Papa Marivicos, proprietor of a carnival whose chief attraction is Eddie, his clairvoyant son. Eddie is ultimately transformed into a being of light but elects to return to the world of humans, with serious consequences both for himself and his corrupt father.

Description

Welcome to Kayjigville, home of the Marivicos Summerlong Carnivalé Festival!

Feast your senses, become captivated, become enthralled by our astonishing and inconceivable spectacles! Behold Melmoth the Magnificent (also known as Eddie Marivicos), a young man gifted with second sight—the ability to peer into minds!

While you are here, bear witness to some of the many denizens of this ancient colonial town! There is Dr. Chain, the quick-witted retired clinical psychologist with a hunger for adventure! We have Lexi, a young workin’ gal whose fateful encounter with Eddie might lead them both on a path to happiness! And last, but not least, we have Papa Marivicos—father of Eddie Marivicos—the fascist ringmaster who rules his carnival with an iron fist!

Follow us as we watch Papa Marivicos abuse and use his son, so that his carnival will rake in the dollar bills! Oh, but he won’t stop there folks; Papa will go to great lengths to achieve dominance in Kayjigville through scheming, bloodshed, and even reaching out to enigmatic dark forces!

How will Eddie navigate his ever-evolving mystic abilities and his father’s tyrannical aspirations? Will Dr. Chain be able to assist the troubled Eddie while simultaneously navigating his tumultuous personal life? Will Lexi become close to Eddie, or are they doomed right off the bat? Papa Marivicos isn’t the only opportunists with loose morals in this town—will Eddie fall prey to them? Eddie will have to access his true potential—with cosmic implications.
