In a style that flows naturally through innocence and darkness, M. Robert Randolph tells a story reminiscent of Bridge to Terabithia. Children living with torments inside their homes that no one on the outside sees, they seek escape to an imaginary island, where Michael, the narrator hopes to become a superhero. Mr. Randolph's posted chapters take us into Michael's future where we discover he is an awkward high schooler who fits in no better now than he did as a kid. Perhaps even worse.Challenges that might be mental illness or abuse are suggested in symbols represented by the real and fantastical trappings of Michael's past, present, and imagination.I'm intrigued. I hope you'll help bring [The Dark Mountain] to publication so we can see how it all turns out. It's a story that might well provide encouragement and courage to children and adolescents whose lives are not as sunny as children deserve their lives to be.

[The Dark Mountain] surprised me pleasantly. If I was to run into the book on a shelf, I would give it a look before proceeding to buy it.M.R.R. Provides a style that only he can provide. It's remarkable to say the least, it's pleasant, though with a much darker underlying atmosphere that seeps through the wild imagination--as imagination is like a wild animal, it's impossible to control.I truly enjoyed the setting to the illustrations of much larger topics at hand. I highly recommend that you read every line.

There is nothing like [The Dark Mountain] on Inkshares. There is nothing like [The Dark Mountain] anywhere. This is a once-in-a-lifetime find; an expertly crafted blend of metaphor and symbolism so rich with meaning and nuance every line deserves a second and third look. It ensnares you at the first paragraph and doesn't release you until it's ready to do so.This isn't a book. This is an experience.
