. And paradox. And death. And consciousness. Spiced with a dash of graphic design, a teaspoon of math and a pinch of linguistics this book mixes a heartfelt memoir with the fictional tale of a young and rebellious Buddhist monk.

Join the author on a hero's journey as he battles Stage IV cancer and looks back on the formative events of his life: A blood sacrifice in india, a bonafide exorcism of a demon and a chance encounter with two people who survived a brutal attack by a serial killer. Between chapters of the memoir, enter another world, and follow a young monk as he traverses the Bardo-a surreal land between life and death-in a harrowing attemt to escape his murderous master.

Ultimately, this is a book about the line between reality and myth as well as a mysitcal quest to answer the two most important questions a person might ask of themself: Who am I? What happens after I die?
