Winner of the Allbooks Review 2007 Editor's Choice Award for Best Fiction!




 

 

Imagine living in a place where the only daylight is a hallway of recessed bulbs, where clouds gathering are but shadows looming, and the songs of birds, the muffled sounds of voices lurking.  Then imagine the nights – the quiet hours that open the hearts of wounded souls, set fire to thought and deed, braid nightmare and dream into single strands of despair, and above all, above all, scream loneliness, a sound without equal. 

 Then imagine escaping.

Dancing in the Void is the story of Hubbell Webster, a man seeking to extricate himself from a life so absurdly rooted; a man wanting only to find benevolence and glory, and in the process, become a hero. So Hubbell sets out on a journey to lift him, and the lives of those he touches, above the bewilderment and mendacity of a cold and chaotic world.

But Hubbell's chosen path is treacherous and uncertain, and the results are not what he had planned.
