Publisher: The Midnight Library Format: Trade Paperback Note: This book was issued unsigned but our copies are autographed by the author! Description: Legion, a Demon stripped of his identity millenia ago and forced to walk the Earth for all eternity without a name and without even his own body, has just been reminded who he really is. As Lucifer once began a war with Heaven, so now does Legion...with Hell. Legion wishes to turn Earth into another Kingdom of Darkness where he reigns supreme. Now able to wield his once 'punishment' turned 'ability' of leaping into mortal bodies, he escapes from Eternal Damnation inside the body of an emotionally-unstable mental patient. By corrupting a well-known television Evangelist, and revealing himself to thousands in the Bible Belt of Southern Missouri as Christ's Second Coming to gain a foothold, Legion surrounds himself with an army of undead whose souls feed him. Legion leads the hordes north on a pilgrimage to the nation's capital where he will gain world-wide notoriety, and thereby damn the world to a new Hell under his rule. Praise for Victor Heck's last novel, A Darkness Inbred: "A DARKNESS INBRED is a truly terrifying novel of supernatural horror. Victor Heck is a brilliant story-teller, and has created one of the most sinister and creepy stories I've ever read." -- Douglas Clegg, author of Bad Karma and Mischief "In A DARKNESS INBRED, Victor Heck steps forward as a laudable new novelist in the field, weaving expert characterization and style into a harrowing, multi-faceted concept that kicks the reader's ass up and down the street. This is the kind of novel the genre's been dying for but no one until now has had the balls to write. Heck brazenly plunges Lovecraft's immortal mythos into contemporary redneck America and a haunted, insane domain of defected genetics, domestic dysfunctionality, and non-stop hardcore horror. A DARKNESS INBRED is truly one of the most disturbing books I've ever read." -- Edward Lee, author of Ghouls, Incubi, and The Bighead "This is a real squirm-worthy book, the kind of thing that makes you say, 'I don't believe he wrote that!' in the most admiring terms. A sort of 'Lovecraft-does-Deliverance-in-Peter-Jackson's-backyard'..." -- Thomas Deja, Fangoria Magazine "Victor Heck combines the Southern Gothic with the extreme horror of a Sam Raimi film. Amidst the scent of magnolias and peachtrees you can detect the whiff of moonshine and meth-labs! Literate, twisted and most definitely not for the faint-hearted!" -- John Pelan, co-author of Goon and Shifters Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $15.00 |
