About this ebook:
“Let everything happen to you. Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final." The poignant words of Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke are the titular inspiration for this riveting anthology that dramatizes the tragedy, passion and pathos of the human experience. Told through the lens of one man’s precarious episodic odyssey, Beauty Sex & Terror explores both the intoxicating rapture of wish fulfillment and self-actualization, as well as the omnipresent threat of failure, death and abandonment. Follow Malik Touré through six gripping stories of pain, pleasure and perseverance, spanning the literary spectrum from chilling true stories of personal loss to provocative fantasies of sexual love and critical examinations of humanity's most prominent existential questions. Touré's uniquely poetic prose guides readers through the tawdry tale of a religious cult, a day in the desolate life of the homeless, a titillating erotic escapade, and emphasizes the pivotal necessity of holding on to hope in the face of the most agonizing adversity. A must read for fans of both character-driven drama and social exposition alike.StoriesDark Clouds & Ominous DreamsAfter the brutal murder of his father on a hotel parking lot, Malik and his home bound mother brave a fusillade of bitter suffering, from grief and destitution to health failure and treachery from kin in a harrowing struggle to survive.Homelessness: A Short StoryDuring a trip into an impoverished district, Malik observes the horrors faced by the homeless and has a life-changing encounter with a woman living in a local park.Silk Ties & Holy GhostsAfter seeking refuge inside of a mysterious temple during a violent thunderstorm, Malik witnesses a bone-chilling exorcism. When a minister insists that he participate in the church’s initiation rituals to escape looming terrors in the afterlife, he is taken on a winding journey, peopled by raging clerics, eccentric fanatics, and powerful supernatural forces.Night Lights, Short Skirts and Erotic Fantasies Malik is beguiled by a gorgeous young clerk working the register at an upscale boutique. After arranging an impromptu date, the two set out on the town for an erotic adventure that takes them from the inside of a muscular, lightening quick super car to a smoky, seductive bar and into the luxurious bedsheets of a sprawling mansion. But just as the passion begins to heat up, a sexy, scantily clad siren shows up at the front door with lecherous intentions.The Divine TragedyIn the aftermath of a sudden assassination on a park trail, Malik is forced to come to terms with humanity’s most pressing existential problems. Aided by the wisdom of ancient philosophers, he wrestles with questions pertaining to purpose, the inevitability of suffering, the existence of God and the great tragedy of human existence.The Curious Power Of HopeIn the final episode, Malik finds himself laying on the floor inside of a public restroom stall after an elongated bout of homelessness. Seeing no relief in sight, an epiphany leads him to the source of all human resilience and power.

Masterpiece from start to finish. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. I will undoubtedly revisit this masterpiece.

An acceptable diversion. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. A fair 3 stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. A solid 4 stars from me.

A decent, if standard, experience. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
