"Blackbird: A Boy Meets the Devil For the First Time," is the short story that eventually grew into the full length novel, "Boogie: A Life With the Devil. From Beginning to End." The novel contains the original short story and many, many more chapters, as well as a different ending. It is recommended that the novel be read first, in order to not to have the ending given away. The following is a 5 Star review from Henrietta Lala about "Blackbird: " "I've been reading about 70 years and Blackbird is one of those rare nuggets of pure gold in a whole mountain of clay . It plays out like the blues, full of riffs and bass and gravel that spin themselves into a mirror of soul not ashamed to get down and dirty and come up dragging us into a light we refused to open our eyes to before. Don't let the stomp and shuffle and guffaws fool you into thinking it's not about you, you ain't gonna get off that easy. I was in Gadsden Alabama for about three months in 1958, and he's not telling any lies. It was my first experience with deep southern segregationist views. A great morality tale told by a masterful and powerful writer about a very unique character."
