 “Have you a soul in darkness? Or are you of the light as well... foolishly clinging to the shadows of divinity?” <> New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina has taken everything from them. Their homes, their futures, their very identities. Its people have learned first-hand about suffering. The looting and rioting may be over, the City That Care Forgot is limping its way back from the edge, but their lessons are far from over. Now, with the city fallen into shadow, the people almost without hope for redemption, something most unwelcome has chosen to walk amongst them. The press has dubbed it 'The Mangler.' A soulless serial killer with a penchant for quite literally tearing his victims apart. So far, he seems to be focusing his energies on some unholy crusade against the clergy. Four priests are already dead, killed within their own churches. And now, All Hallows' Eve approaches. What game is he playing while he feeds off of the suffering of New Orleans? One person thinks he knows. Police detective Johnathan Craye. The only question is: Can he stop it before it's too late?

Om forfatteren

  Roger Brian Thomas, 42, is a rather eccentric metaphysicist and author currently residing within Prarie Du Chien, Wisconsin. A city-guy turned farmer, he writes his abnormal tales upon a small farm which he shares with his mother and oldest brother, a strange dog, and an overabundance of cats. Until recently, his father and aunt also lived there. Now disembodied, they still visit him from time to time. A fan of television, movies, books, video games, board games, and role-playing games, Roger has also studied every religion and secret society he could unearth from the depths of history. Although he still considers himself to be unaffiliated, he has studied everything from ancient Hebrew, Latin, Catholicism, Satanism, Paganism, the Argentinum Adepti, the Ordo Templi Orientiis, the Egyptian Priesthood of Ur, and the Novu Ordo. If it's considered a secret, he wants to know what exactly it is. Roger remains steadfastly single, having thus far been unable to discover what he would consider a kindred soul. Not that he has stopped looking. His passions are stories, in whatever form they may take. He believes our imagination is the temple that frees our conscious self from temporal ambiguity. Be true to thyself. Everything else will follow suit. Time advances upon time. What one cannot see, can change how one perceives one's own reality. We are all stories in the end.
