Death and the Serpent is a short, contemplative creation myth about impermanence, meaning, and the fragile miracle of being alive.

In this poetic fable, Death and the Serpent, stillness and motion, silence and desire, give rise to creation itself. From their eternal tension emerges awareness: fleeting, luminous, and shaped by time.

Written in lyrical, meditative prose, this book is not a novel or a traditional mythological retelling. It is a work of philosophical and symbolic fiction, meant to be read slowly, revisited often, and held alongside moments of awe, uncertainty, and existential reflection.

The Reader’s Edition (7×7 softcover) is designed as an accessible entry point into the world of Death and the Serpent. It presents the complete text and imagery in an intimate, portable format, ideal for personal reading and quiet contemplation.

This edition is well suited for readers interested in:

modern creation myths

philosophical and existential fiction

poetic and contemplative literature

symbolic storytelling about mortality and meaning

A brief but resonant book for those who sense that life’s beauty and impermanence are inseparable, and who are willing to sit with that truth.
