Never Tell, Never Tell, (Hardcover)

<p>What if the greatest monster was not born-but created?</p><p></p><p>Never Tell, Never Tell is the story of Beaulyn deFaux, first encountered as a wounded child trapped inside a secret too terrible to name. Around him gathers a world of predatory silence, religious authority, social corruption, and private horror, where what is done to a child is hidden, sanctified, denied, and allowed to grow into something monstrous.</p><p>The novel unfolds across several converging timelines. In one, the child endures the moment that fractures him. In another, the wounded boy's imagination transforms terror into nightmare, myth, and dark fairy tale. Decades later, Beaulyn has become Père deFaux, a miracle-priest revered by those who cannot see the damage beneath the legend. Still later, as a dying man, he is forced to confront the truth that has pursued him across thirty years of faith, violence, memory, and spiritual ruin.</p><p>As these timelines move toward one another, the novel becomes more than a story of survival. It becomes an examination of how trauma is concealed, how evil is given religious language, how memory refuses burial, and how a child's wound may become the shape of an entire life.</p><p></p><p>Set within a mythic colonial landscape in Africa, sacred and profane, miracle and monstrosity, innocence and corruption collide in a literary horror novel about the terrible cost of what is never spoken.</p><p></p><p>The child survives to become the Beast of Revelation.</p>
