Festival of Doom

A modern literary drama told in poetic cadence—Festival of Doom is a journey through friendship, longing, loss, and the fragile truths that bind people together.

Set across wandering roads, taverns, farmlands, and the spirited festival that gives the book its name, this theatrical narrative follows Davenport, Cody, and Donnatella as they travel through strange towns and stranger fates. Their encounters—by turns humorous, lyrical, cynical, and tender—reveal the inner storms that mark every soul in search of meaning.

Blending philosophical dialogue, lyric storytelling, and the emotional sweep of a stage play, Baruch Menache crafts a world where every line carries metaphor, memory, and myth. Characters collide, depart, return, and fracture, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions about devotion, identity, and the cost of companionship.

From roadside inns to grand festivals, from budding affection to breaking hearts, Festival of Doom explores the delicate threads of human connection—and the distance between what is spoken, felt, and silently endured.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Lyrical fiction and philosophical theatre

• Poetic dialogue and character-driven drama

• Journeys marked by introspection and emotional tension

• Literary works in the spirit of allegory and mythmaking


A haunting, elegant, and deeply human tale—one that lingers long after the final page.
