Alfred Eaker (current projects)
Alfred Eaker is a prolific fine arts painter and muralist, an award-winning filmmaker and film critic, and a traditionally-published author. Following on the success of his debut novel, “Brother Cobweb,” Eaker is currently collaborating with Todd M.

“Elvis: An American Hymn”

Elvis: An American Hymn
As an inquisitive American artist, Eaker has always been deeply engaged in social, religious, and political climates. Eaker is currently working on a mural painting entitled “Elvis: An American Hymn.” Through it, Eaker is trying to bring affirming answers to issues of race, integration and hope so desperately needed at this moment in America...

“Brother Cobweb,” A. Eaker

"Brother Cobweb," by Alfred Eaker
“Brother Cobweb” is now available through Open Books Press, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all major bookshops and distributors. If you want to understand America today, travel back in time 50 years and witness firsthand the American Religious Right values, not as they present themselves, but as they truly are. The novel is a surreal and provocative odyssey that has struck a nerve as it exposes the abuses and hypocrisy of an all-too-familiar Midwestern evangelical church.
