Dean’s Work
Detective Marion Paul, desperate to save his kidnapped daughter and girlfriend, must run a gauntlet of apocalyptic horrors and psychopathic killers to untangle a twisted web of clues, all mired in a warped arena of psychological torment, deception, and numbing mind control meant to keep him at bay and drive him insane. Jack the Ripper incarnate and the wolf-beast Adrian Kane are determined to sacrifice the ones Marion loves in a bloodletting ceremony to the harlot Terra Drake. She’s the personification of beauty in the flesh and ugliness of spirit, and she wants humanity to bow down to Her in worship. Now, as his hometown of Duncan, Utah, is invaded by witches and ghoul-elves, and the cauldron fires leap and roar, he takes a stand against evil…for his loved ones, his home, and the rest of us in small-town America.
Homicide Detective Marion Paul, on a quest to discover why his brother drank himself to death, steps into an obscene world of witchery and Satanism that plagues Small Town America, where the demon woman, Terra Drake, orchestrates the murders of its citizens and the enslavement of their children. The trail of blood and death traces back to Biblical times, and her hand has touched the most notorious of serial murderers throughout history. Marion, having seen the worst of human nature, rushes headlong into her cult of witches and werewolves against which he has no defense, not by gun, knife, or fists, a nightmarish battle that tests his sanity and entraps his family. Should he lose this cat-and-mouse trial of wits and courage, everyone he loves will surely die.
Stephen Paul is a raging alcoholic whose addiction suddenly manifests itself, one cold Utah night, in the form of a beautiful woman. Terra Drake, at first, seems warm and inviting, but she soon shows him the horrors she’d beset upon his small town, the murder of his next-door neighbor, the bewitching of his hairstylists, the freakshow the county fair had become, and the damnation of his priest in the new Church of Flies. She’s in cahoots with another demon, the Hooded Darkness, who stalks him at every turn, and the more he drinks, the more horror he sees and the more he blames them for the misery that has befallen small-town America. As his warnings to citizens and friends go unheeded, he strikes out on his own to defeat this ultimate evil, to save the world before hell itself comes calling.
