Review of The Prophet by Jay Rauld
5 stars
“The Prophet” is as much speculative fiction as it is horror
(although there is plenty of horror for the asking contained within), an
existential interdimensional speculation on creating (and destroying) one’s own
reality. Greg is a reporter (or is he?) who is “abducted” for the purpose of
encountering and interviewing a man known only as “The Prophet,” a predictor of
multiple mass murders and other bizarre tragedies. “The Prophet” claims Greg is
only a figment of his imagination, and he has been created by The Prophet: to
kill The Prophet. Confusing yet? Well, continue on, and take a trip with Greg
through some realms which must resemble certain circles of hades, with entities
who are human, or animal, or polygonal, or combinations of these.
No matter what one believes on the subject of consensus
reality and other philosophical questions, I predict “The Prophet” will stick
in the reader’s mind, for a very long time.
