No no but i feared the book would try to promote that kind of bullshit. 'youth without god' sounded a lot like 'depressed youth in need of god' to me. It's not the case at all, great short novel. Doesn't even show a need for god, rather some kind of ethics or morality.

yep. I was thoroughly confused that it was so fucking fantastic and then hit the wall and became pulp. the bobliophile in me wants to read into it all and say it meant something, bit im pretty sure he was just trying to hit amcertain length, presumably being paid to hit a certain length

Chapter 3 of The Street of the First Shell is the best part of the book (aside from The Demoiselle D'ys). Still, I agree that the book is misadvertised as supernatural horror.
