The Hierophant - Nothing Man

With The Emperor and The Empress, Desmond and Diamanda Piranga Olivacea, we saw how a secret Power Couple were in charge of implementing a New Age to Come. Sexy, mysterious, and far more powerful than the richest and most powerful known figures, Desmond and Diamanda became known to the reader as enigmatic rulers of the future. But in order to implement this new future, an executor of rules of conduct, informed by spiritual principles, would be needed. Thus, The Hierophant. But in this story, we take a dive into a version of The Hierophant unlike any other.

Literally thrown into this dimension from another is Nothing Man, a character from The Story of Us All Trilogy by Hunter. Nothing Man is an autobiographical figure, very similar to Hunter himself, with a philosophy called Love Chaos, except unlike the author, he is able to interact with spirits from the Spirit World. And unfortunately, no one seems to understand his philosophy, especially the people Nothing Man finds himself: the denizens of MacArthur Park, notorious for its degradation of homelessness and drug addiction. Read the story to find out what happens to Nothing Man, why he was there, and where he will go.

The Hierophant: Nothing Man is the sixth tale (the first being Part Zero) in The Human Drama series. 30 short stories for 30 tarot cards (following a similar structure to one of the oldest decks in existence, the 15th century Mantenga Tarocchi, possibly conceived by Nicholas of Cusa, which has five sets of ten cards representing five aspects to existence). The first 10 books in The Human Drama will take place in modern day Los Angeles, the following 10 will take place in the future, and the remaining 10 will take place in the past, focusing on both famous and obscure people from history.

The cover art to the series is by the great David H. Sekulla.
