Dear Creature by Jonathan Case
Off the coast of California, deep beneath the waves, in the wreck of an atomic submarine, a creature named Grue broods. Someone has thrown Shakespeare's plays into the sea in cola bottles, and by reading them, Grue discovers a sense of his own humanity. Now he no longer wants to eat teenagers, no matter how much their out-of-control hormones call to him or how the crabs that scavenge his kills urge him on. Grue wants to join the world above, and when his first attempt ends...poorly, Grue searches for the person who cast the plays into the sea. Who he finds is Giulietta, an agoraphobic trapped in a dry-docked yacht, waiting for love. When she and Grue meet, Giulietta believes her prayers have been answered. But teenagers have disappeared, and her nephew is the prime suspect. Giulietta suspects Grue knows more than he's saying, and Grue has to decide if being a new man means ignoring the monster he was.
Jonathan Case has guided thousands of lives through the course of his career. As a pulpit rabbi and acolyte to some of the great minds of this past century he has unshelved dusty manuscripts, great tomes from bygone millennia, and made them accessible. Using the collective wisdom of the ages to shed light on everyday problems Case applies ancient insights to give depth and meaning to our lives. Each chapter reveals novel approaches to seemingly intractable issues from understanding pain to finding God. Journey to the Soul is his first published work using the mystic tradition of Kabbalah together with experience culled from more than two decades of pastoral work.
