Twisted Lives Intertwine in TAROT SOUR, the New Fantasy Novel from Untreed Reads

Aug. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- San Francisco, Calif.; Six lost souls are strung together by events beyond their control. They cling desperately to life, scrabbling for a foothold as their world shifts and cracks under the pressures of fate and time. Confronted with the end of existence, can this collection of wounded people—a hopeless immortal, a beleaguered mother, a crazed preacher, a superstitious industrialist, a cursed stranger, a woman who has lost everything—maintain their humanity, or will they be reduced to savages?

This is not a story of the end of the world, but rather a story of six individuals in a dying shanty town for whom the world may as well already be over. When Elizabeth Hesse’s husband and children go missing, a chain of events is set in motion that will lead the inhabitants of this town to consider the mistakes of their pasts and the destinies—relevant or not—their futures hold. TAROT SOUR is a circular tale that revolves around itself in voice, in time, in place, and which will end itself exactly where it began.

Robert Zimmerman has a Master’s degree in the Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and is currently working toward a doctoral degree in cognitive psychology from DePaul University. When not working or writing, he enjoys late-night runs along the lakeshore, photography and seeking the hidden refuges of nature throughout a bustling city. He currently lives in Lincoln Park, Chicago, with his three dogs—Molly, Daisy and Zypper.
