This book will give you a delightful, dopamine-discharge... the key is humility...Dangled above the rum bottles, the exhausted television shone through the haze of cigar smoke. Behind the smoke-screen played another friggin' History Channel-esque, over-dramatized documentary about the upcoming END OF THE WORLD. It was the summer of '99 and the gloom loomed over the patrons. Y2K was nearing, the media frantically spreading the alarm (consequently raising ratings). Once again, We The People, were duped. The anxiety had spread throughout the country, the fear becoming a dense cloud. It absorbed into our minds through osmosis. For the desperate, ignorant, poor and the lonely, there was substantial evidence that the world was in fact coming to an end, and these were going to be the last and, final, days of summer. One only had to read the Rosebud Gazette, "40 freshmen caught...town to be labeled an epidemic..." to assume that their debilitating dread was well warranted

Using humor that will make you laugh out loud, characters crazy, yet relatable, and mundane stories that subtly give the reader a better understanding of the bigger picture, John E. Epic has once again created a novel written in a style that speaks directly to the reader. Upon conclusion of Epic's novel, don't expect anything less than to be transformed.

Every school has them; everywhere there are Little Apples that bully the others. In, Such a Little Apple: anatomy of a bully, the reader comes upon empathy for the bully by understanding that they don't fall far from the tree, they learn these behaviors from family. Our empathy nullifies our fear of the bully, and then we can work on resolution.

John E. Epic is one of America's leading Existentialist photographers.
