Fear. It wraps us up and spits us out in little pieces. Fear causes us to hide, to react in anger and to hurt others as well as ourselves. Fear is the basis for many TV comedies from the earliest days when Lucy tried to hide one disaster after another from Ricky--out of fear. BEYOND FEAR tells four fictional stories of women whose lives shattered by abuse, disability, rape and disfigurement find wholeness through faith, God's love, and romance.
HYMN: a song in praise to God, or gods. UNDERBELLY: the underside of an animal; an inferior or concealed part of something. Staple these two ideas together in dark unnatural congress and you get something like a mime with Tourette's Syndrome, shouting random obscenities at a little girl on the street. You get men (and a heavily tattooed, bodily-modified woman named Godiva - rowrrr!) who just aren't right in the head, but who are allowed to roam the streets with razors and drivers licenses and ferrets like they're normal, church-going people, singing normal, church-going songs, right up until that moment when you realize they're really singing demented clown-chants. No, these stories are not hymns, but "The Dark Underbelly of Hymns". Enjoy! Martin Mundt's second collection of horror, humor and the macabre contains a dozen must-read tales, including "The Worst Mime In The World" and "The 'Nothing Good Ever Came Out Of Being Asked By Your Girlfriend If You Were A Cannibal' Blues."
