In Seashell Guitar Stories, the author recalls luminous moments that suddenly seemed to transcend day-to-day reality. Although the protagonist here is called ("Jay"), he is in reality the author, Christopher Arthur Andrews. ("In childhood, we are naturally more receptive to mystical experience,") he says.
In some of the memories that inspired these stories, he experienced an uncanny foresight of events that would soon be confirmed: ("Suddenly, halfway down the street, Jay saw what looked like a television screen floating in the air, but it was his imagination. For a few moments he saw a clear picture. . . ")
In others, he simply felt a deep sense of awe and wonder, as at the sight of an elderly neighbor's display cases filled with arrowheads and other prehistoric Native American artifacts. ("The light seemed to float over the cases like a mist, as if a magic radiance was at play in the room.")
Another time, he felt awe, fascination and dread at the sight of a rattlesnake sinuously gliding into the family living room.
The ability to ("go past the veil of everyday perception") is not necessarily limited to childhood, Andrews says. ("As adults, through meditation and practice we can again cultivate and participate in the wonders of other realms.")

This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
