Eve of Light Series

An African-American teenager's alienation is taken to the extreme in this cross-genre prequel to the Eve of Light series. An utterly surreal and bizarre work of Dark Metaphysical Fantasy.     Deep down, Robert Goldner knows he's a mistake. His mother told him so when he was just five years old. But he never found the courage to ask just what she meant before she was murdered under mysterious circumstances on his eleventh birthday.     Now, on the eve of his seventeenth birthday, Robert is dead set on becoming a Virginia high school state wrestling champion in order to redeem himself once and for all, reversing whatever curse his mother saw within him. One of the few blacks on a predominantly redneck team, Robert has struggled for years to remain clear-headed and independent in a school divided by race and conquered by cliques. But when something from Beyond takes possession of his body and mind, wrestling with his very soul, he may find his "birthday" to be a gateway to a horrifying truth about himself and the fundamental nature of Reality.    Incorporating several subgenres of horror--including body, psychological, extreme, metaphysical, and weird--BloodLight is not for the casual reader. Strongly recommended for those already familiar with the Eve of Light series.

In the Eve of Light universe, no one is safe from what hides beneath the gossamer of superficial reality. A struggling singer who travels to the middle of nowhere to perform a gig finds herself exposed to a sinister creature with a hunger for something only she can provide. A small-time criminal who finds a gun that seems to be of supernatural origin begins to dream of the big time, until he realizes someone wants their toy back. A lonely middle manager who set up a profile on an adult hook-up site is soon in danger of losing more than his money or identity. An American Heartland Security agent unwittingly becomes involved in a supernatural battle. A fugitive from the Sprytes, one of the most dangerous supernatural cults on Earth, finds herself entangled in a conspiracy too dark to escape. Containing The Lark, Heaven's Gun, FoolKillers, Knotty & Ice, and Rogue Beauty, five tales of dark metaphysical fantasy, Hell's Brood is the perfect collection for readers new to the Eve of Light series. With stories set in a world where humankind's twisted fantasies and most disturbing nightmares have manifested as pulsing, hard-edged realities, Eve of Light is a dark fantasy horror series unlike any other. Mind-bending and provocative. Dark fiction at its weirdest.

God is near death. The dimensions of Reality are collapsing. And The Infinite Definite, an amorphous gang of magick-wielding terrorists, has become even more powerful and effective in its mission of unleashing universal chaos. In the middle of it all are disgraced Watcher agent Robert Goldner, his mentally unstable new partner, Arkangel Ava Darden, and Cyrus Shahrooz, a rogue Heartland Security agent willing to do anything to establish his version of order. With Robert's and Ava's ability to manipulate the basic particles of light and travel between dimensions, and Cyrus's connections in both the U.S. government and the underworld, the three work with—and against—one another to rescue society from a deepening nightmare. But when a terrible secret one of them harbors is revealed, it will change everything about the known universe and tip the balance once and for all.   Surreal, action-packed, and beautifully written, Divinities, Entangled is the second book in a series that explores whether humans can survive beyond the demise of their Creator.   With stories set in a world where humankind's twisted fantasies and most disturbing nightmares have manifested as pulsing, hard-edged realities, Eve of Light is a dark fantasy horror series unlike any other.

Dark urban fantasy meets surreal cosmic horror in this first book of a provocative and mind-bending series.   Three years after contracting the White Fire Virus, Watcher agent Robert Goldner still considers himself damned and confused. Damned to live with a body overrun by billions of sentient parasites. Confused that the deadly infection has not killed but instead permitted him and random others to live on in tortured bodies, "blessed" with the supernatural ability to manipulate the properties of light.   The only true blessings Robert believes in are the missing children he and his fellow agents are tasked with locating and recovering in the Washington, D.C. area. An increasing number of virus carriers, however, are calling themselves "angels"—his licentious partner Darryl Ridley being a prime and most troubling example. When Robert and Darryl receive a hot tip on the location of a virus-infected girl who disappeared shortly after attempting to massacre half of her high school, they prepare to chalk up another bittersweet success. But when they instead find the girl's best friend from school, beaten nearly to death, they become entwined in a conspiracy involving dark magick, bizarre creatures, fantastic realms beyond space and time, and the death of God.     With stories set in a world where humankind's twisted fantasies and most disturbing nightmares have manifested as pulsing, hard-edged realities, Eve of Light is a dark fantasy horror series unlike any other.
