John Carney

Jupiter John Carney

Giovanni Alberto is in Hell. His hometown of Jupiter, Florida is as close to paradise as any place on Earth, but perception is reality -- or, in Gio's case, perception is surreality. On Halloween, as all his worst nightmares come to life around him, Gio must overcome his fears and find a way out.

Containing the irreverent hits Aichmalatoi and The Atlantiad, John Carney's Jupiter tells a tale of contemporary American society using all the tropes of Ancient Greece and Rome. Giovanni Alberto is Achilles lamenting on the shores of Troy and Dante clawing his way out of Hell, and the reader is left to discover who or what is his Briseis and his Beatrice.
