A runaway teen commandeers an abandoned house in a quirky neighborhood. Yuno now controls a great amount of stashed treasure, but cannot avoid an ages-long conflict involving quantum technologies, meddlesome angels, and a set of fractured Earths. While his neighbor's recently deceased husband works his way out of the bowel of Hades, the teenager must deal with the human-like beings appearing at his door. In Bellingham the common world lies like a thin drape over the exceptional sacred realities of modern life. Yuno's once ordinary troubled existence takes on new hues when he begins to peek through the blinds that divide certainty and actuality.Leif Aaron's Bafflegrab is a kaleidoscope of dark redemptive brimstone, encompassing nightmarish monsters, smug immortals, fake Jesuses, involuntary hypnosis, a cat who knows more than it lets on, and a distempered angelic being who keeps mankind from blowing itself into oblivion.Early Amazon reviews of Bafflegrab: "Couldn't stop reading. Loved it." It contains "...adventure, intrigue, unpredictability, and unique characters to keep your interest." - Amazon Customer"...fun read. Interesting take on the afterlife. It kept me reading." - Steve Barke"...it wouldn't let go. Very interesting, multipronged story. The kind that doesn't allow quick assumptions and therefore demands a bit more from a reader... Aaron does a fine job of handling complex ideas and weaving them throughout. Neither heavy handed nor so open-ended as to avoid something meaningful." - W. StewartLeif Aaron is a teacher and novelist from Tacoma. He spends time traveling with his family, pondering theological documents, imagineering impracticalities, eating toast, and watching soccer.
