The Big House on Flavian

The Big House on Flavian is a collection of poetry that saddles up beside loss, freedom, and redemption. Inspired by the narrative arcs and emotional weight of Red Dead Redemption 2 , these poems explore the American frontier-not just as a setting, but as a psychological battleground. Each piece takes its title from in-game inspiration, then gallops in its own direction, carving out a new path through memory, grief, loyalty, and legacy.This is not a retelling.It's a reckoning. " One of the greatest video games ever made takes on new meaning in this unique collection of poems. The Big House on Flavian renders the world of Red Dead Redemption in literary form, endowing it with new color, emotion, and humanity. For those captivated by the game or those curious about Western history, King's book will be a very enjoyable ride ."- Tore Olsson , author of Red Dead's History: A Video Game, an Obsession, and America's Violent Past "Jemayne L. King has brilliantly woven the threads of a fiction redemptive Western story into a collection of poems that captures our present-day stories of struggles and resiliency. If you are a fellow Red Dead Redemption gunslinger, this book will bring the gaming experience to life and take you on a therapeutic adventure, revealing pieces of yourself, your thoughts, and most of all, your desire to win both the video game and in the game of life!" - Chiniqua Radford , LSATP, LPC; Radford Real Talk Podcast; author of Courage Under Fire: Pocket Therapy to Endure Life's Challenges
