About this book
The story
The Maenad's God, volume 1, is a complex work of LGBTQ+ fiction and magical realism set in 1992 Boston. The story follows Pete Morrow, an alienated FBI agent who finds an unexpected escape from his bleak reality through his obsession with Jade McClellan. Jade is a mysterious musician and the mortal son of Dionysus, whose artistic energy fuels the world of hard rock. Their romance develops amidst a dangerous investigation involving a mafia family and a hidden war between divine forces.
This literary novel blends psychological thriller elements with visionary and metaphysical themes. The plot centers on the conflict between Penny Starmaker, a witch promoting creativity, and Hugh McCrae, a primeval entity dedicated to cultural decline. As Morrow navigates this gay romance, he is caught in a timeless battle between art and authoritarianism. The Maenad's God explores the intersection of myth, music, and madness.
