The Epics Collection: Bible-Inspired Epic Poetry in the Style of Dante, Shakespeare, and Homer

A Dangerous Poet for Dangerous Times!

(Author's narration)

Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), Abdiel LeRoy recalls the spirit of Homer, the visions of Milton, the fire of Dante.…

1. Elijah

Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath...

But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven.

Occasionally raunchy, but always reverent, this book is a revelation in poetic and prophetic fire.

“Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance.”

Karen Siddall

2. Jezebel's Lament

Jezebel. Yes, that Jezebel. The queen whose name for millennia has stood for female wickedness. Killer of innocents. Seducer of priests. And the Old Testament's greatest supervillain….

Or so our Bible writers would have you believe! In this channeled message, part royal rant, part saucy confession, Jezebel tries to set the record straight.

3. Obama's Dream

Like another Elijah, LeRoy tears down the façade of empire in this epic poem sent to the White House in 2015, taking the president on a Scrooge-like journey through time and space and otherworldly encounter, even to the throne of God!

Yet this verse novel is woven with comedic scenes throughout, testifying to the wit of a master storyteller.

"A new realm of reading."
