LUCITAN by Emir Phillips

A Christian Punk Novel

About Me

EQUAL PARTS POETIC AND PROFANE, humorous and horrific, Lucitan is not for the faint of faith. Of course, what else would you expect from an epic tale whose main character is Satan, and whose setting is The City That Care Forgot, New Orleans, Louisiana? Follow the Lord of Darkness as he sets out to atone for his sins amidst politicians and prostitutes, Archangels and assassins, sinners and Saints (the pro-football Saints, that is). Violent, erotic, and ultimately inspirational, Lucitan marks the literary debut of Emir Phillips, and is only the second Christian Punk novel in all Eternity -- the first being the Old Testament, of course. It's guaranteed to contain something to offend everyone.
