Anthony David Jacques takes the clairvoyant anti-hero trope and brings it to the world of barhopping, horserace gambling, vagabonds. Jacques has created a story that unabashedly praises nihilism without devolving into simple cynicism; he is an author who is not afraid to let his characters discuss death in a way that lacks the romanticized baggage of much contemporary storytelling. Subliminal Messiah’s Zeek, the unlucky psychic, is Fight Club’s unnamed narrator, each living a perpetual mental haze that readers will eagerly navigate to the final page. ~ Caleb J Ross, author of Stranger Will

Continuing to cough up his superb prose with pace, Jacques here kicks hard on the accelerator to unveil stripped-back literary fiction in a polished up hot rod—featuring a desperate man named Ezekiel pinned to the wheel, odds against him, cruising in search of a saviour. ~ Andrez Bergen, author of One Hundred Years of Vicissitude

SUBLIMINAL MESSIAH is a hypnotic black comedy wrapped in a surreal vision quest dipped in the grotesque. A story of love and destiny, hope and fear, Jacques has created a modern-day Don Quixote in Ezekial Downs, and surrounded him with a cast of misfits and delinquents. ~ Richard Thomas, author of Staring Into the Abyss
