Synopsis:
Neurodivergent, young Dwight Skinner considers his mental challenges to be a superpower, but it's a pure bloodline that will put him in danger. When a tragic event brings a mysterious Romani neighbor, Mr. Mortimer, out of seclusion and into the Skinner family's lives, Dwight and his emotionally overloaded mother find an unsuspecting protector in this dark lurking whisperer. Death and horrific secrets trail the unfolding life of Mr. Mortimer's past, and questions soon arise as to who has the more sinister of intentions, Dwight or the "Gypsy" he unconditionally trusts. The whispers have the answer.
Note: Whispers of a Gypsy is a story about how purity of heart dies in a world of hate. Using the word "Gypsy" refers to members of the Romani people (and/or their sub-groups Roma, Sina, etc.). The G-word, however, is pejorative. It is used in this case for conscious correction and to relate to an Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp book and the over 500,000 Romani killed by the Nazis. This group was one of the foremost peoples who suffered inhumane tests while in the camps. Na bister 500,000
Review:
"In the permanent place of the dead, there were no angels, no bright lights or family members waiting in the wings. He died in the blackness of regret and error, tumbling through Sheol."
World War II experimentation upon the Jews and Romani. The Nazi's created a super human to obliterate the population that was abhored. What they were not expecting was one of the biggest mistakes they could have possibly made. Their genetic alteration became what they feared and death is now upon them as revenge is seeked from the monster they created. From the war to present day, it returns over and over to collect their souls.
As many lives connect, the whispers are heard, dark secrets are revealed, and lives are changed forever. The bloodlines are still strong and the genetic alterations are still alive within. The gypsy hears the calling of the whispers and returns once again to answer the call.
The darkness that lies within this horrifying tale is unparalleled occurrences of human atrocities. The evilness of the underbelly of Nazi experimentation and the hate they held for the Jews and Romani. Moving forward to modern day, it delves into the evilness that can lie within the human heart within a family. Spousal and child abuse, alcoholism, and dark secrets surfacing from a long suffered past.
Elements of science, history, societal lifestyles, and war torn minds. Striking differences between evil and goodness, the ability to love and the ability to hate, prejudice against or choosing to embrace dissimilarities.
A menacing presence that will haunt your nightmares!
"I’m in your head. I will be in your house. And I will send you falling into a deep, dark, tight hole. I will snare you, little rabbit, or bury you where you live."
Deeply dark and foreboding, the horrors lie within this dreadful and haunting tale of terror!
From the Author:
Whispers of a Gypsy, like the Horror Classic Frankenstein, is a modern day Prometheus in may ways. Like Prometheus' sacred fire, the Nazis believed that their science would produce godlike capabilities and in time with their research, longevity beyond comprehension. As the eagle tearing out Prometheus' liver, Mr. Mortimer and those around him find loved ones ripped from their lives. And just as Victor Frankenstein's monster was liberated from his creator, so too was the Gypsy Mortimer as he escaped their confining clutches and exacted revenge upon them for subjecting him to horrific genetic alterations. Hope you enjoy the story.
