existential novels

Empty Sky - A Novel

A repressed and frightened young man still living at home walks out his front door and boards a bus that he desperately hopes will take him to his new life. He takes with him nothing but money stolen from his father and the vague hope of an illicit connection with an older cousin. But his desire for escape from himself only takes him deeper and deeper into a nightmare landscape of ghastly beauty and alluring descent, one which will force him to either at last rise to his own humanity or which will instead consume and destroy him and others entirely.

Subterranean Green - A Novel

A mysterious stranger forcibly takes a drunken homeless man to a nearby motel, telling him that he must follow the stranger for 24 hours. What begins as a mystery unfolds as the story of three lost souls whose lives are intertwined in ways that are only revealed over the course of two decades; the homeless sex addict and alcoholic.; the lonely woman who bears his child; and the mathematics genius who works as a dishwasher. Like many of Epstein’s novels, Subterranean Green is a spiritually redemptive story of descent and salvation, of lives filled with both awe and ennui and with a magic touch that transcends and elevates the most ordinary of people, places, and things.

Following the death of his charismatic father, Stephen Ruskin’s first love re-enters his life.

Stephen’s journey of inward descent perversely parallels his father’s childhood struggle to survive in the forests of Europe at the end of World War II.
