De: John A. Marble

Spence Taylor was a highly-recruited Division-I pitching prospect back in 1991. Having committed to play baseball at a major university in a Power-5 conference, he once had a future that was full of promise. Unfortunately, the evening that followed his last day of class changed his life forever.

Set in 2003, “immaKulate” opens in a rundown trailer on the southwestern side of Jackson, Mississippi. Spence, now a 30 year-old alcoholic, is depressed, suicidal, and terrorized by hallucinations in the form of random appearances from a well-dressed stranger. The apparition he “perceives,” however, is indeed very real, and eventually it persuades him to confront many of the decisions he’s made in the past, while also encouraging reconciliation with others in the present.

This is not just some story about a drunk trying to be a better person though. At the heart of the matter is an even bigger mystery that ultimately unfolds into a divergent reality, complete with all the same players - only in this universe his life is considerably different as a professional athlete. And the stakes? Well, let’s just say they are much higher.

With a love story also woven into its fabric, this book is sure to tug at the heartstrings of readers and take them on a ride they never see coming.
