About the Book
In this poetic fable, Death and the Serpent, stillness and motion, silence and desire, give rise to creation itself. From their eternal tension emerges awareness: fleeting, luminous, and shaped by time.
Written in lyrical, meditative prose, this work belongs to the tradition of philosophical and symbolic fiction rather than conventional narrative. It is designed to be read slowly, revisited often, and lived with over time.
The Keeper’s Edition (7×7 hardcover) offers the complete text and imagery in a more durable, enduring format. With its cloth-bound presence and increased material weight, this edition is intended for readers who wish to keep the book close, return to it across seasons, or gift it as a meaningful object.
This edition is well suited for readers interested in:
modern creation myths
philosophical and existential fiction
poetic and contemplative literature
symbolic reflections on mortality and meaning
A quiet, resonant work for those who sense that life’s beauty and its impermanence are inseparable, and who value books made to last.

About the Creator
Johnny Pecan Pie is a writer, artist, and maker of mythic objects exploring the space where wonder meets fear, and meaning is shaped through attention. Death and the Serpent is his first published fable, a poetic, illustrated meditation on creation, mortality, and the strange intimacy between what ends and what begins. The book does not argue a philosophy so much as listen to what still trembles, allowing images and symbols to do the work words alone cannot. Johnny’s work blends storytelling, visual art, and contemplative practice. He is drawn to simple language carrying layered depth, stories that can be read in a single sitting yet linger long after, continuing their quiet work in the reader. His influences range from myth and Jungian psychology to modern questions about consciousness, technology, and the sacredness of being alive. Johnny lives and works in Colorado, where he continues to write, draw, and explore how attention itself can be an act of love.
