Author Description

A pirate swaggers onto the page, his boots clanking on the floorboards as he spews a venomous tirade. A 13th Century peasant greets her husband at the door with dread, as she tries to piece together his movements that day. A bookshop clerk considers the fleeting glory of Hollywood. A devil stabs his finger at his watch, declaring the folly of time. LITTLE GODS and Other Strangers is a theatrical ride through poet E. B. Dravenstadt’s world of magic and mystery. This award-winning writer’s characters escort the reader into a house of mirrors, a labyrinth, a dirt road in medieval England, a castle in Germany and through the surreal landscapes of divorce, death and war. Dravenstadt delves into motives as only a former actor can. These are the LITTLE GODS that loom large in the author’s world.
