 January Magazine | Book Reviews & Author Interviews
In this darkly humorous debut novel, Daniel Hayes explores the human reality behind the tabloid headlines in a culture of high-stakes celebrity.

Egyptian and other ancient religions have long been of esoteric interest although they are not truly alternative; they were mainstream religions in their native cultures, and only became esoteric after they were revived centuries or millennia later.
These revivals have sometimes embraced traditions of questionable historicity such as occult Templarism and medieval Witchcraft, as well as real traditions seen through a distorted historical lens.
If the humor is by or for followers of a particular religion, please find the category for that belief and submit there instead.
