Edward Jones has just been assigned the biggest contract of his career.

Cool and confident, Edward knows he has the tools to make the sale. But he's never been up against the likes of Dr. Jared Young, a pious Mormon schoolmaster with a loving family and an unshakable faith in Joe Smith above . . . 

​

Gracefully blending dark comedy, suspense, and neo-Western noir, Tabernacle is sure to keep readers hooked on its unpredictable plot and unforgettable characters!

Unique, compelling, and quietly evocative . . . Tabernacle will simply delight literary readers.

— Midwest Book Review

A dark work of speculative fiction so closely rooted in reality that it’s kind of scary with plenty of witticisms in the dialogue and moments of narrative joy . . . An accomplished work of fiction that will highly impress those with a dark sense of whimsy and a thirst for a truly unique tale.

In a voice that seamlessly drops some of the best noir one-liners since Dashiell Hammett, Cavella both embraces the harsh cynicism of our modern age whilst pining for the values of an Americana long since passed.

—William M. Holden
 

Sharply written and wonderfully wrought, this dark comedy packs a powerful punch . . . Cavella’s confident handling of his protagonist’s different sides, the original plot, and the expert execution make this one a page-turner.

​

A fun mix of dark comedy, Western, and detective noir.

​

Part comedy, part detective novel, and part hard-nosed Western, Tabernacle ends up being something else entirely—an exploration of a modern man at his best and his worst . . . Hilarious, moving, and ultimately brilliant.

Readers who are looking for something a little off-kilter will enjoy this book. It's a fast-paced dark comedy/crime story that will appeal to fans of the Coen Brothers, Ben Stiller, and similar artists.

​

Tabernacle has all the trappings of a future cult masterpiece, a thoughtful and entertaining mystery tale peppered with dark humor and Western undertones with a plot twist that will keep you engaged. Cavella’s ear for Southern speech and laconic style, along with a sharp-but-dark sense of humor, combine to make Tabernacle entertaining from start to finish.
