A Plague of Darkness: or the Unseen and the Unseeable

A Plague of Darkness sheds light upon the sense of quiet desperation currently devastating the children of our society: rich or poor; black, white, yellow and red. This plague, which we watch morph and transform itself into its differing forms every evening on our nightly news is an equal opportunity destroyer. During a cross-country plane trip, Payack penned A Plague of Darkness. To better illustrate (and encapsulate) the emotional toll this unseeable plague has wreaked upon the emotional lives of our children across the land, he further illustrated this essay with a series of some thirty 'collages' that will help you see the devastation through the minds (and eyes) of the children, which remain hopeful, above all."Paul Payack's ability to blend the mediums of writing and pictorial art into a collage of prophetic insight is incredibly unique and provocative. A Plague of Darkness is a rich feast of mental and spiritual expression that will move your thinking to a higher plain."-Pastor Ron Pinkston, author, lecturer, and radio personality featured on A Day of New Beginnings."The brief, almost bald, summation of crucial experience that attains its power through its stark reductiveness."-Sylvia L. Berkman, author of Blackberry Wilderness
