关于此电子书

When an enigmatic town doctor saves the life of Anisa Worthington’s dying son, she abandons Christianity in favor of devotion to the cult of Santa Muerte or Saint Death. Some believe the mysterious skeleton saint will protect their loved ones, help in matters of the heart, and provide abundant happiness, health, wealth, and justice.

But others, including the Catholic Church, call the cult blasphemous, evil, and satanic.

Anisa introduces Saint Death to her friend Helen Randon, and soon one of Helen’s enemies is brutally murdered. Residents of Montague, a peaceful little town in Prince Edward Island, begin plotting to rid the Bible belt of apostates. Anisa suspects Helen is perverting the good tenets of Saint Death. Before she can act, a terrible nightmare propels her to the Dominican Republic in search of Franklin, her long-lost and unstable brother, who mysteriously disappeared without a trace twenty years ago.

To her horror, Anisa learns Freaky Franky is worshiping Saint Death with evil intentions. As a fanatical and hell-bent lynch mob tightens the noose, mysterious murders begin occurring all around Anisa. Unsure who’s an enemy and who’s an ally, she’s thrown into a violent battle to save her life, as well as the lives of her friends and brother.

In horror novel Freaky Franky, Franklin Reiger is one of the main characters. I think he's interesting because his motivations are not black and white. His personality contains many shades of gray. As a child, he witnesses the deaths of many close family members, and eventually believes he's cursed. Everyone around him seems to be dying. He flees to the Dominican Republic and starts to change, praying for the deaths of his enemies. But he becomes wracked by guilt and remorse and embarks down a landmine-laced path of redemption and rebirth. Although Freaky Franky is a work of fiction, it is a fact-based, well-researched novel examining the terrifying consequences of worshiping the cult of Santa Muerte with evil intentions.
