You Break It, You Die

You Break It, You Die

by William Delaney

2009 · Strategic Book Publishing

You Break It You Die by author William Delaney is an imaginatively brilliant twist on one of most ancient and revered documents of Christian teachings-the Ten Commandments. Written with dark humor and an uncanny sense of delicious macabre, Delaney writes a tale of nine gay men who accept invitations to a dinner party hosted by an eccentric billionaire and his lover. When the men gather, their host informs them that each of them are living lives that contradict the ten gay Commandments. His purpose is to convince the men that they have broken some of these laws and must atone for the ones they're not living up to, and he's hell-bent on setting them straight. Meanwhile something from hell (or is it an angel of destruction?) lies in wait. Whatever the evil is, it believes in the ways of the old testament and its fury is about to be unleashed with a wrathful vengeance. What will happen to this motley crew? Will they die for their sins or escape the tribulation of an ancient evil casting judgment? With razor-sharp dialogue, convincing characters, and tantalizing drama and mayhem, Delaney's novel carries the reader on a fast track of twists and turns that lead to a surprising and chilling climax.
