How does one write about a novel while avoiding giving too much away? With Etc Etc Amen this wasn't too difficult because, in a sense, the central catalyst is actually a fictional religion. So I've focused on this religion in the hope that you'll find it amusing/smart/stupid/enigmatic enough to want to find out in what ways it casts its spell over its followers, and in what way things then start to go horribly wrong.
