About this ebook
Brought up in luxury by a father right at the heart of the political system, Gerald spends his days saving lives and relaxing with other members of the elite in East Metropolis until the government’s plan to wipe out the people of the west emerges.
Ivy is a ruthless killer from West Metropolis, trained to eliminate those closest to the Master as the uprising begins. She poses as a cocktail waitress to get close to her targets. But when her orders are activated, this brings her into the heart of East Metropolis and up against Gerald’s powerful father.
Souls for the Master is a futuristic nightmare set in a dystopian world where human beings are destroyed at will, in which a young doctor and an undercover agent become unlikely allies.

“A dark and imaginative dystopia, slowly revealed through excellent characters leading the fight for humanity. A brilliant story, thoroughly recommended to those who dare to wonder just how bad the future could become.”
Goodreads Review
"The Visitors is a cracking story, as we say in Ireland."
Frank Ludlow, Director, International Aeon Award Short Fiction Contest.
"When I first read In The Fortune-Teller's Tent, I knew John C Adams had a talent to be reckoned with."
Bruce Memblatt, Kindle Coordinator of The Horror Zine
"John's work is a welcome breath of fresh air in a field packed with too many stagnant ideas and stale stories."
E.S. Wynn, Chief Editor of Farther Stars Than These Magazine
John C Adams
I'm a nonbinary author and critic of fantasy and horror. Nonbinary tends to means different things for different people, and every path is valid for that individual and their family. Luckily, mine are incredibly supportive. I use the gender neutral pronouns they/them professionally as John C Adams, but to the kids I'm still 'Mum'. It's a question of what works for you. My decision to be nonbinary is a journey for all of us.I review for Schlock! Webzine, the British Fantasy Society and Horror Tree, as well as placing reviews and articles across a wide range of blogs and magazines.I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Creative Writing from Newcastle University. I've been a Contributing Editor for Albedo One Magazine and the Aeon Award since 2016. Before that, I was a Submissions Reader with them.My debut horror novel, 'Souls for the Master' (Ivy Spires Book One), and its sequel 'Blackacre Rising' (Ivy Spires Book Two) are both here on Smashwords retailers. Likewise, my debut fantasy novel, 'Aspatria' (Gortah van Murkar Book One), and its sequel 'Dagmar of the Northlands' (Gortah van Murkar Book Two), are out now on Smashwords retailers.Although I write mostly long fiction, since 2015 I have had stories published in anthologies from Horrified Press, Lycan Valley Press, Fantasia Divinity and Jersey Pines Ink. My short stories have also been published in the Horror Zine, Swords & Sorcery, Sirens Call, Blood Moon Rising, Lovecraftiana and various other magazines.Every emerging writer needs plenty of encouragement right at the start, and entering lots of competitions early on made a real difference to my confidence to press on with writing longer fiction and think about submitting short fiction to magazines and anthologies in due course. In 2012, I was longlisted for the International Aeon Award Short Fiction Contest for 'The Visitors' and again in 2013 for 'We Can Finish Your Baby's Brain For You'. My writing was also recognised by the Enrico Charles Literary Award (runner up in 2012) and by the University of Winchester Writers' Conference in both 2012 and 2013, including a Commendation in the First Three Pages of a Novel category, and other nominations in poetry and short fiction.I read PPE at Somerville College, and I am a non-practising solicitor. I live in rural Northumberland, UK, and I combine my career as an author and critic with raising my kids and caring for a severely disabled relative. I'm always busy!
