Free PDF Ebook Visions, by Troy James Weaver
A hypnotic descent from childhood to adulthood. A boy sees angels, finds love, loses it, and becomes heartbreakingly aware of the world around him. Using a dreamy prose that calls to mind the films of Harmony Korine, Weaver crafts a deft and disturbing portrait of the young life of a David Koresh-like cult figure. “Troy James Weaver’s novel unravels the typical coming-of-age story. It erases the distinction between finding and losing your voice, becoming enlightened by a vision and swallowed by darkness. The plot moves at a breathless pace and the unsettling details linger, hovering at the edge of what can be fully understood.” —Jeff Jackson, author of Mira Corpora “A noir fueled as much by the dread of what might happen as what actually occurs, with a narrator teetering on the edge of something very dark indeed. Beautifully sparse and precise, like someone tapping softly on your skull with a ball-peen hammer trying to feel out the perfect place to crack it open.” —Brian Evenson, author of Windeye and A Collapse of Horses “Visions moves at a manic pace reminiscent of Hannah’s Ray. The story breathes, bleeds, pulses. It’s fragmented yet fluid, bleak but not without hope. Don’t be fooled by the thin spine - you may blaze through this book in an afternoon but it will burn a hole in your head. Weaver speaks the truth and I hope to hell everybody is listening.” —Nat Baldwin, musician (Dirty Projectors) “Untimely death, Richard Ramirez, child abuse, violence, poverty, loneliness… somehow Troy James Weaver is able to take all these ugly facets of humanity and combine them into something so beautiful that it feels almost holy.” —Juliet Escoria, author of Black Cloud “Visions is a coming-of-age, Harmony Korine-style, This Boy’s Life-meets-Wise Blood fever dream that Troy James Weaver carved into some Ouija board he later used to summon the spirits of David Koresh, Jesus Christ, and Richard Ramirez. I can’t even begin to tell you how insane and beautiful this book is.” —Brian Alan Ellis, author of Something Good, Something Bad, Something Dirty “Troy James Weaver’s Visions is a smart and disturbing book, told in a voice as haunting as the cultish world it portrays. All those strange voices and visions packed into this slim novella, rendered with an honest complexity make this a remarkable achievement. I’m glad to have read it.” —Brandon Hobson, author of Deep Ellum

There were no transcendent literary moments for me, but the sheer originality of Troy James Weaver's writing and the clever structure that felt like narrating someone's memory were more than efficient enough to keep me under. Humans have always been obsessed with closing the gap between them and the divine, but it's an obsession that's always been more central in the American society and in a way, VISIONS honors that through a narrative of how faith is engineered. It's a bleak, cerebral and contemplative short novel, reminiscent of both Harmony Korine and Blake Butler's work. If you're into the questioning the divine like I am, you'll enjoy this book a lot.

It will make you comfortable as it crawls up your spine and coils itself around your brain stem. It is tender. It is frightening. Troy James Weaver is a righteous talent

We've seen them on the news or on magazine covers. Some people still worship them, despite their eventual downfalls.In Troy James Weaver's version of the rise of an American prophet, the ingredients are all here: absent biological father, a vacant mother struggling to stay above the poverty line, twisted father-figures looking to extract sexual gratification and pain from the disposable youth, and an infatuation (in the name of religion) with an elderly woman. And we all know how it ends. But in this short but compact piece, it's just another child of God we're following around--the boy next door. His youth crumbles around him as he tries to follow his heart and his visions and find love, although the journey ends like all the rest in a dark epiphany. Or, should I say, the journey begins.Troy's succinct, crisp telling kept the book in my hands at every available moment. Each short chapter is a heartbreaking snapshot of what some child, right this minute, is experiencing, somewhere. "Visions" is one of the works comprising Broken River Books' March Madness. This is both a publisher and an author to watch for.
