FRANKFURT, DE – CHRISTIAN LIFE PUBLISHING – July 30, 2024
Author R.B. Batson is thrilled to announce the release of his thought-provoking novel, “Antichrist: A Story About Heartache.” This compelling tale combines elements of horror, science fiction, comedy, supernatural, and social commentary to explore the tumultuous journey of a young adult grappling with religious fundamentalism and the quest for identity.
“Antichrist: A Story About Heartache” follows the life of Travis Marx, a typical young adult whose world is turned upside down by the fundamentalist community he lives in. His life takes a dramatic turn one evening when a visiting alien offers him telepathy in exchange for what could be his doom or deliverance. Blending horror, sci-fi, comedy, supernatural elements, and social commentary, “Antichrist: A Story About Heartache” challenges the norms of religious fundamentalism and explores themes of authenticity, compassion, and restraint.
In conflict with his family’s values, Travis embarks on an adult adventure across the nation and various religions, exploring Islam, the New Age, and Buddhism. His journey leads him to select Christians experiencing clairvoyance who identify him as the Antichrist. The novel delves into whether Travis will be delivered from the heartache caused by these telepathic fundamentalists or become another of their victims.
R.B. Batson currently resides in the Deep South with his beloved family. He holds a Master of Ministry in Ministerial Counseling and History of Biblical Interpretation and Theology (with honors), a Master of Professional Studies in Community Development, and a Bachelor of Arts in Geography. An Eagle Scout, Batson enjoys backpacking, singing, and drawing in his spare time. He is also the owner of a handmade, sustainably produced, and organic soap-making business. Currently working on his next novel, Batson continues to explore and challenge societal norms through his writing.
