Arise-Ye-Sons-Of-Israel Parker began life as a sensitive Quaker boy but came to manhood as Harry Parker; a killer, a thief, a reluctant poet and a drunken town Marshall. One summer night, drinking alone in the town saloon long after closing,Harry Parker is approached by a mysterious traveler, Mr. Dorian Gray. After the two talk over a drink, Harry is persuaded to share one of his poems. Gray shares something much more peculiar. When the sun rises, Mr. Gray is gone, and Harry's death has gone with him. He finds himself unkillable and feeling completely detached from the world. He also finds himself very much at odds with a sect of immortal religious zealots who offer the undying membership or a very real eternal torment-permanent crucifixion and isolation.
