Story Behind The Book

I began writing Luthor to create a new "monster", but as I wrote, Luthor took a new path, almost on its own, and became the heart-breaking, slightly twisted and dark tale it is today.

The world of abuse - physical, sexual and emotional - is a very disturbing world that many don't talk about openly. Pol McShane tackles this subject in a very gripping tale of a little boy named Luthor and the abusive world that he is born into. McShane takes us on a journey witnessing the cycle of abuse in three generations of one family. It is a journey filled with drama, sadness and neglect, but also of faith, hope and of course love. This book is so much more than a &quot;horror&quot; novel. Don't get me wrong - there are some tremendous horrific scenes, but the story is of love and survival.<br />I was lucky to be one of the first people to read this book and I was hooked from early on. I also had the honor of working with the author on the cover design. I hope that you saw the cover and were intrigued to get to know the boy with the eyes of darkness. I hope that you read &quot;Luthor&quot; and come to love the book...and the boy.
