About The Book
David L. Simmons’ gripping narrative, “Ammon’s Curse,” paints a vivid portrait of a man caught in the crosscurrents of his ancestry, the weight of which threatens to engulf him at every turn.
At the center of this saga stands Tubal Ammon, a figure both complex and compelling, whose lineage is steeped in tragedy and triumph. Descended from a lineage marked by a violent act of survival—the killing of a fellow slave by his grandfather—Ammon finds himself ensnared in a web of fate that he cannot escape.
As Ammon traverses through life, his journey mirrors that of his forebears, a nomadic existence punctuated by stints in the railroad and military service, before finally finding his place in the quaint town of Macon. It is here, amidst the dimly lit confines of Ammon Billiards, that the tendrils of his cursed inheritance begin to unfurl.
“Ammon’s Curse” is more than just a tale of one man’s struggle against the forces that seek to destroy him. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, redemption is possible for those willing to fight for it.
Simmons’ novel is a tour de force, a literary journey that transcends genre and expectation, leaving an indelible mark on all who dare to follow in Ammon’s footsteps. In the end, “Ammon’s Curse” is not just a story—it is a reckoning, a revelation, and a testament to the enduring power of the human soul.
