The Revisionaries
December 24, 2019 7:51 AM - by A. R. Moxon - Subscribe
All is not boding well for Father Julius... A street preacher decked out in denim robes and running shoes, Julius is a source of inspiration for a community that knows nothing of his scandalous origins. But when a nearby mental hospital releases its patients to run amok in his neighborhood, his trusted if bedraggled flock turns expectantly to Julius to find out what’s going on.
A.R. Moxon's (a.k.a. @JuliusGoat on Twitter) first novel is a weighty tome of weird fiction.
The Revisionaries is a self-indulgent muddle; it’s a modern-day classic. -- WaPo
In a novel of expertly rendered horrors, the relative shallowness also disturbs, and thereby detracts. -- NYT
Moxon’s storyline isn’t easy to follow, but it makes for a tasty entertainment. - Kirkus Reviews

I really enjoyed this, but don't think I'd dare to actually recommend it to anyone.

The aesthetic, the content, and the author's relative obscurity make me think of Sergio de la Pava's A Naked Singularity.
