Edmond Dantès (yes, that’s his real name) is an up-and-coming writer and illustrator based in Newfoundland and Labrador. He began, fittingly, with images, studying Fine Arts at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila before pursuing Philosophy and Comparative Religion at Our Lady of the Angels Franciscan Seminary. He subsequently studied Sacred Theology and Biblical Studies at Maryhill School of Theology. His fiction and art explore the intersections of the sacred, the profane, and the uncanny, often blurring the boundaries between the ordinary and the supernatural. He is delighted to make his debut in Exclamation Mark.

Did Adam die?
Kept me on the edge wanting more. Keep it going Edmond 👏👏👏
It’s very suspenseful and makes good use of narrative that is not common in everyday writing. The thrilling part is where Adam had realized that Marc knows his whereabouts and what he is doing at every given time. It really puts someone on the edge of their seat reading it.
My very first exposure and try at reading such a story in a messenger format… It was an interesting and engaging format… It was good to be a shorter story time-wise as the brief chat scroll reads fast and not a smooth transition of a normal book format… It is something most can relate to as we do live chat with family, friends, and ocasionally acquaintances and near strangers… Thanks for sharing, Edmond…
Very good read. Can’t wait for more.
Loved it !you have a gift for story telling.Suspenseful. can’t wait to read more.
