I See No Angels - Paperback

by Michael-Patrick Harrington (Author)

Enter a world without angels, a world explored in three novellas, on each for Purgatory, Limbo, and Hell. From the author of Saving Magdalene and Deep Autumn. In I See No Angels: -A priest becomes convinced that murdering an elderly parishioner is a necessary sacrifice and his last chance at redemption. -A man suffering from a sleep disorder finds himself surrounded by dead people-one or all of whom he may have killed. -A father teaches his family to disregard all boundaries, then stands witness to his wife and children exploding every taboo in order to destroy all they've ever known-except their objects of affection. If there are no angels, are there rules? Or are we left with lives filled with bullying, neglect, mayhem, incest, and murder? If there are no angels, who will take their place?

Author Biography

Michael-Patrick Harrington was born in Philadelphia but calls Ambler, PA his home. I See No Angels is Michael-Patrick's second book. Deep Autumn was the first. In addition, he is the author of the novel Saving Magdalene. He has also written music criticism for magazines. His literary heroes include John Irving, Joyce Carol Oates, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Dickens, Edith Wharton, J.R.R. Tolkien, Virginia Woolf, and more. Michael-Patrick writes every morning from 5:30 to 8:30 while playing (relatively) loud music. Please do not call him during those hours; he will not hear the phone. The author believes that one of the keys to writing is rewriting-again and again and again. A good dictionary and plenty of tea also help. Michael-Patrick graduated Magna Cum Laude from Arcadia University with an English degree. He also attended La Salle University and went to high school at Holy Ghost Preparatory School.
