The Two Tears - Francis John Dunne
I am second generation Irish, my parents emigrated to England in the early 1960S and made their roots in a small Derbyshire town. We were a typical working class family. Dad worked as a labourer, liked his pints and cigarettes. Mum somehow managed to raise four sons whilst working two part time jobs. As a child, I suffered from chronic asthma, as a result I missed a lot of school. Always trying to catch up on lessons missed. Reading books gave me both hope and an education. Leaving school with two CSE's, my future path was not paved with gold. Fast forwards 50 years. Married to Jackie, my childhood sweetheart, two grown up daughters, travelled extensively and a Director of a successful family Business I have always wanted to write, to tell stories, I know now that its in my DNA, my Dad Joe was a Seanchaí, a storyteller. In Irish history Seanchai have an important role to play, they are the custodians of myths, legends and history. Mixing half truths with the truth, sharing secrets and memories. I am a Seanchai. The stories I will tell you, come to me in my dreams and nightmares. Filling my mind with voices and images long lost in the mists of time. They speak to the Seanchai, so we can keep them alive. Its not a vocation, its a sacred duty. Enjoy the journey I am about to share with you. Frank.
GENRE: Gothic Horror
Blurb:
The Two Tears. Beginnings. Lucifer is cursed and his thirst is now unbearable. The streets of present-day London will provide both his cure and redemption. A drink so pure, he will risk sending his greatest demon to secure the prize. An old man and his dog are the only ones that can stop the gates of hell from opening once more. A heavy mix of Irish mythology that takes the reader on a journey through the ages. Along the way, you will meet a charming demon with a sense of humour.
