The Lady in Red

About the Book

My story is about an addict whose name is Elijah Wayne Jackson. My story has many characters, mainly drug addicts. Elijah, Eli for short is the main character. I have woven the Lady in Red on the assumptions that she is a product of his paranoia. This story has many characters along with a story line that I hope will bring the public to an awareness of addicts and the things they do when they are high and ingesting drugs. The story is very explicit and complete with a mystery and science fiction overtures. My story takes place in a Ghetto in Brooklyn, New York, around the late 1980s. A time when crack cocaine was strongly used. Although other addicts and their highs are being depicted, it is only to give the reader a sense of how things play out in the drug world as opposed to the real world. Basically, I am trying to bring science fiction to the Ghetto in a more believable sense. Along with the mystery of the Lady in Red, there is another main character that comes into play and his name is James. James is a mystery within himself. In order to go into more details about my story and its characters you will just have to read my story.
