Influenced by the macabre and gore of Stephen King & William Peter Blatty ("The Exorcist"), the literary speed and brilliance of Richard Wright ("Native Son"), the dark, domestic conflict of Henry Farrell ("Whatever Happened To Baby Jane"), the gritty streetlife influence of Donald Goines ("Dopefiend"/"Whoreson"/"Crime Partners"), with the resilient courage of Zora Neale Hurston ("Their Eyes Were Watching God") via elusive dialects, "DUPPY: Ya Reap What'cha Sow" examines life in the New York City ghettos during the late twentieth century with its not so friendly yesterdays. Pinpointing supernatural folklore with intercultural racism, the novel also serves a powerfully graphic portrait of teenage drug & elderly abuse at the height of the 1980's turbulent crack-cocaine era.
