J.L. Sullivan and From Brick & Darkness
Author J.L. Sullivan with his novel From Brick & Darkness with a Perennial’s Southside Blonde Ale
About the Book: "The most powerful wishes aren't said with words."
Bax always fantasized something remarkable would happen in his life. So when a decrepit man with glowing purple eyes offers him a ring intended for his estranged father, Bax accepts.
The ring speaks to Bax in a dream, tempting him with a vision of a powerful djinn. Desperate to make his fantasies a reality, Bax unleashes a creature called Ifrit, but soon learns this djinn isn't what the ring led him to believe. Feeding off the depths of his subconscious, the sinister demon fulfills what he thinks Bax wants by manipulating, threatening, and murdering. With everyone he loves in danger and a trail of crimes pointing back at him, Bax must scramble to solve the puzzle that will banish Ifrit forever.
About the Beverage: J. L. recommends pairing his novel with a Perennial’s Southside Blonde Ale because “it’s a fabulous Belgian-style beer brewed in his hometown of St. Louis, where his debut novel takes place. Cities create adventure around every corner, and St. Louis is no exception with its vibrant neighborhoods, rich history, and amazing craft beer scene. So enjoy a djinn-flavored adventure in St. Louis with a local brew.”
About the Author: J. L. Sullivan writes young adult novels inspired by gritty urban environments and the fantastical tales that percolate within abandoned buildings and desolate alleys. He began his writing journey in high school with a local newspaper before venturing into creating writing in college where he found himself lost in contemporary stories with magic summering just underneath the surface. His debut novel about a dark reimagining of an ancient myth won multiple awards following its spring 2022 release. He currently lives in St. Louis with his wife, two daughters, and a dog named Princess Penelope Picklesworth.
FROM BRICK & DARKNESS is available on Linktree, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
