Odd Devils


Book Description

The Conclusion of the Heaven's Kin Trilogy  The angel Satan once lived the life of a humble mortal shepherd. He suffered a tragic fate, and met his demise at the hands of a merciless fallen angel. His essence was refashioned into the angel of the damned, and for countless centuries he ruled Hell as the jailer of God, ensnaring souls within the endless confines of perdition. Yet, in a moment of inexplicable vulnerability, a strange new warmth filled the angel's heart, compelling him to forsake the inferno forever.   An English magician created an innocent child-like servitor in his own image. The bird-footed boy was forged from the very fabric of the stars, and molded into a twisted reflection of the man's bestial nature. After the wizard's death, the servitor survived by pretending to be his creator, until the endless loneliness became more than he could bear. The boy tried to bring his unnatural existence to an end, but destiny would not be thwarted, and he became consumed by an internal blood serpent. The entity grew, and fed upon the magician's acolytes for decades.   A demon fell in love with a mortal woman, who came to love him in turn. Their passion led them to merge their souls in a forbidden, unholy union. The reckless act culminated in their demise, birthing a creature of unimaginable horror. The ravenous monster wrought havoc upon the souls of hundreds, consuming all in its path. However, Heaven intervened, and bestowed the abomination with a semblance of grace, transforming it into the innocent angel of Satan’s paradise.

All The Devils Are Here


Book Description

Twenty years ago, in a series of mysterious, incandescent writings, David Seabrook told of the places he knew best: the declining resort towns of the Kent coast. The pieces were no advert for the local tourist board. Here, the ghosts of murderers and mad artists crawl the streets. Septuagenarian rent boys recall the good old days and Carry On stars go to seed. Clandestine fascist networks emerge. And all the time, there is Seabrook himself - desperate perhaps, and in danger. Dark, strange and immediate, this is a classic work of sui generis British literature. There are devils here, and the reader will remember them.

Wander Often, Wonder Always


Book Description

In the pitch dark of an African night, the Land Rover gets stuck and as we disembark, the touristy demonstrations of native rituals we saw an hour earlier, to appease forest gods for safe passage, became a reality. Henry, the driver, was quite nonchalant about the whole situation and instructed us in clear terms that we need to follow the defined protocol and instructions; one, we will walk in a single file with Henry in the front and Amen at the rear; two, whatever happens, no one will break the file and run, and three; stay close together, and whatever else you do, do not run! For the love of God, don’t anyone run. Cats love a running mouse, you see. It was then that Henry performed the ritual that he had demonstrated to us just an hour earlier. He picked up some grass, knotted it, broke it, and threw it over his head, muttering some prayers in his native tongue. It gave me goosebumps then. With a shout of ‘let’s go’, he just started walking. And so, the march began. Wander through all this and more. Across continents. Different habitats. On exotic travel destinations. When life is on the edge.

Death on the Devil's Teeth


Book Description

Four decades after Jeannette DePalma's tragic death, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case. As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. That mood was shattered when the body of sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma was discovered in the local woods, allegedly surrounded by strange objects. Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police cover up ran rampant, and the case went unsolved - along with the murders of several other young women.
