Many of us are saying: "Why us, why terrorism on America?" The reason Islamic-Arabs think the way they do is because they have a different God than Christians and Jews. In this book the differences in God is what matters. Above all, the Christians and Muslims have both expressed love for their god. The sad part I believe is [when you examine this area] most people think the Muslim god is the same as the Christian God, because we seem to have the same prophets, champions. But this is far from the truth. As you read this book, you will notice me picking out-what I feel are-Islamic distortions, deletions, and generalizations, to persuade mankind to migrate to their god; I call this the great lie. If you really love God you will be after his heart, not his soul. Instead of trying to find the mind of the Islamic-Arab, let's look at his god, is that not how we walk our walk in life, according to our faith. Being a Licensed Counselor [2002], as well as an Ordained Minister in Good Standing [l992-93], if anything it makes you look at your religion closer, as well as others.

Perhaps it's Love, the original element, which gives this book its name, concerns four young adults that play a vital role to follow their hearts; sometimes without adequate preparation, or the appropriate equipment as a test of the will. This of course, nearly crushes each person's spirit. In one-way or another, each youth is linked to each other (ages between 18 and 21). The novel is primarily concerned with choices in love, in some cases a manifesto about its dangers. At the end it, it must be said, nothing was tolerable but the best. No one was without sin. Four youths [l96768], while being in the process of growth get stirred up quite a lot, some even lost in the commotion of events, while feelings become nourished and intensified, all aching for love, in their own way. A lesson might well be learned if they can only harness their crying hearts; but first unhappiness has to be conquered (part of the theme and plot). The story has a shy-charm to it, a quick gaiety, and objective tenderness. It is dramatic; it has an exploring inner mind. Many parts of this book are based on actual events, transformed into historical fiction.

From two short stories and fragments of others comprising basically an outline by the author, grows a masterpiece--after 14-months, a most lucid novel, perhaps the best account of a cross-cultural form of intolerance, in historical-fiction in a long time. Based on actual events, Stay Down, Old Abram, the author paints two streets, one white, one black--in this tragic game where moods and friction bring out the roots of deeply idealistic rejection and suppressed tendencies, all embedded in the narrative. One might even conclude, this story is not all that much different than what took place in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, outside of Baghdad recently, although in a thinner angle: yet in both cases we see undisciplined soldiers working in sensitive spots. The time and place is West Germany, mid-l970's. By Rosa Peñaloza Translator, Writer "I had read some of Dennis Siluk's books and I liked them very much, the stories and topics touched in each one. I could say that reading them they carry you inside the story and you begin to dream and dream as if you were part of the story." Nancy De Valencia English Teacher

This is Mr. Siluk's 27th book, his third book of poetry, since l981. Siluk's poetry has been seen in magazines (most recently: The Mango Tree (out of India)), anthologies, newspapers, books, interwoven into stories, and in the internet magazines such as www.useless-knowledge.com and www.eldritchdark.com. Siluk has the three main ingredients for being a writer: the love for words, perseverance, and has a lot to say. In The Macabre Poems, the categories of his poems range from: Macabre, Prose, Legends (emphasis on Atlantis and Gilgamesh), and Selected Poems, along with War poems and a Miscellaneous section. There is an assortment of poetic style of poetry in The Macabre Poems, to include: prose, lyrical, expressive, odes, epics and tales; along with sonnets, haiku, etcetera. Indeed Siluk is worth his salt. In The Macabre Poems, Siluk is more than daring in his poetic verse; dangerous as it may be to read, it was twice as hard to write, but Mr. Siluk put it in a nutshell: "If you want to know who you're dealing with, you got to take a muster-seed of faith with you to the pits of hell; playing it safe will not get you home."

Says the author: "This story will bring you deep into it: make you live it " it transcends Evolution and Creationism to form a unique relationship with humanity. Beyond the myths of this world, resides pieces of truth, thus, forming this story, where boundaries are marked by no one. The author conjures up a gallant saga-science-fiction: where the 'Garden of Eve,' is in decay, and the inhabitants of the world are forming a New World Order. [From the book, Death on Demand, by Mr. Siluk]: says author E.J. Soltermann-Healing from Terrorism, Fear and Global War, "The Dead Vault: A gripping tale that sucks you deep through human emotions and spits you out at the end as something better." In a like manner, After Eve, holds the same truths. Mr. Siluk, being a world traveler, a lover of the mysteries around the world, has visited many World Heritage Sites; recently, he visited the most remote island in the world, 'Easter Island,' where Kevin Costner made his movie: Rapa Nui, there he stands, the author, with Charlie Love, Geologist, Archeologist; and Grant McColl, Anthropologist, June, 2002. The author felt this would be a most befitting picture for such an intriguing story.

The person referred to as The Mumbler, is quite a complex figure in this haunting drama--unprotected by his father, who dies in WWI, he now faces life on his own, circumstances being--problematic at best, as he unwittingly, fights the demons in his nightmare, and his second-self. But who will he follow is the question, the first or second self? -One being a thinker, a scholar of sorts, the other an unpredictable pathological murderer; both being the incarnation of genius, and malign.
