Guest Charlie J. Eskew Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sean Smith (Writing as Charlie J. Eskew) Charlie J. Eskew Tales of the Astonishing B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ Spark, 978-1941360163 Published : 9/4/2018 by Lanternfish Press Synopsis: Trapped in a dead-end job in his Ohio hometown, watching the girl of his dreams move on to a glamorous new life in a big city--Donald McDougal's aimlessness has held him back for a long time. When a lightning strike grants him superhuman powers, he jumps at his chance to finally be somebody. But the new abilities and the pursuit of superheroic fame come with a price tag, and it may not be one he can afford. This wry debut is at once a fanboy's homage to the history of superhero storytelling in America and a keen-eyed satire of those same stories, raising questions about race and privilege that are becoming impossible to ignore. .Thank you for considering!
