feast your eyes – a novel
feast your eyes is for lovers of horror, thriller, and crime/mystery, offering a compelling combination of these popular genres. Its characters represent a generation trying desperately to be something and perhaps going about it in all the wrong ways, because they lack the tools to get out from under the pressure of their parents’ shadows. Or perhaps because they feel a void where they wish there was . . . belief. The fictional tenement featured in the book, 1482 Attorney Street, is also a character, with another resident both ancient and dangerous. the story invokes the countless ghosts of New York City’s Lower East Side, through which millions of immigrants passed, leaving old buildings haunted with their blood, sweat and tears.
