tHE ceLL

Dominique B. Hummel

Summary

This is a truly groundbreaking book! The author intentionally gives us warnings from the start and breaks the boundaries, deliberately creating some kind of unorthodox and genuinely anarchistic yet truly brilliant type of writing. His dimension is made of grim realities and astonishing truths about the world we live in and the history of mankind. He nails with vigor the main points of the axis of everything good and evil resulting in exactly the same thing. The structure of the story is non-linear and chronology becomes just an abstract concept, obsolete and unnecessary, with no need to be followed. The parallelism and the multifaceted dimensions of the main characters lead the reader in a labyrinth of sensorial perception and physical discomfort where we end up feeling the ambience and tune in with the author’s mindset and discover different ways of perceiving past present and future all transposed in a twisted timeline of mnemonic events no longer relevant for the sake of our and his understanding of what is it all about? Life beyond belief!

Dom Hummel is an anomaly among the family of authors. His early life is well documented in his novel tHE ceLL, albeit with a touch of surrealism attached to his persona. Needless to say nothing could have been more challenging than imagining what a life was going to bring after such a difficult childhood, but thanks to an everlasting sense of belonging to a few survivors of the last resort, Dom’s life took a sharp turn towards some inner search of self-determination. After many years of travel around the world, which could become a sequel to tHE ceLL, the author finally found refuge in the country of his choice, Australia has been his home since, and it is where he presently lives waiting for the inevitable... To resume it all, Dom’s an ordinary man who perhaps had an extraordinary life, but who’s to say any wiser than reading his early biography in tHE ceLL.

"ARE THEY THE GODS?" 
The Dwellers of the Rock. 
They could create matter with the power of their minds. Any element, any molecule, any form; they could call it into being with a thought. 
Even living flesh. 
They could travel to the edge of their universe, without ships to carry them, and send their minds to visit other worlds without moving a step. 
All knowledge and learning was theirs for the taking. 
They never tired, never hungered. They had peace and purpose and, eventually, fulfilment. 
And they knew where they would go when, at last, they died. 
But then, the Beyonders came. Strange creatures, they were, lost and separated from their own reality.  
The Dwellers rescued them, brought them back from the brink of death. They welcomed them and gave them the power to create matter for themselves.  
And these strange creatures brought them destruction in return.

Marjorie Bowen - A Short Story...

Marjorie Bowen

Margaret Gabrielle Vere Campbell was born on the 1st November 1885 on Hayling Island in Hampshire.

Her childhood was fraught with problems, her alcoholic father left early in her life and was later found dead on a London Street. Life thereafter was poverty with an uncaring mother.

However, her talents took her to the Slade School of Fine Art and later to study in Paris.

Her first fiction, written at a mere 16, was a violent medieval historical novel, ‘The Viper of Milan’. Initially rejected by several publishers it went on to become a best-seller

After this her prolific writings were the main financial support for the family. Her literary output numbered over 150 volumes, mainly under the pseudonym of Marjorie Bowen but she also used the names Joseph Shearing, George R Preedy, John Winch, Robert Paye and Margaret Campbell. Within this output she assigned the pseudonyms to the various genres she worked across, from Historical fiction to supernatural short stories.

Perhaps her best known work is the 1909 book ‘Black Magic’, a Gothic horror novel about a medieval witch.

Several of her works were also adapted into films.

She was married twice. The first to Zefferino Emilio Constanza (they had two children), who died of tuberculosis, and then to Arthur L Long (and another two children).

Marjorie Bowen died on the 23rd December 1952 at St Charles Hospital in North Kensington, London after suffering a serious concussion from a fall in her bedroom. She was 67.
