It was the winter of 1947 when C. David Priest, then five years old, first hears his aunt Rosalee tell the vivid and frightening story of the Whippanini man, a strange presence that only comes out when darkness falls. Terrified and curious all at the same time, it is later that same night after David falls asleep that he sees the Whippanini man for the first time, forever transforming his innocent life. As the spectral presence haunts David in his sleep, his aunt relays more stories that cause him to begin to question everything in his life-and all who have passed away before him, including a cousin reported to have looked just like David. But at night, nothing can stop Whippanini from invading David's dreams, at least temporarily, and seemingly warning him of tragic events about to occur. As the years pass and Whippanini disappears, David wonders if the presence was just a figment of his childhood imagination. Little does he know that the Whippanini man is about to make his presence known again. "The Whippanini Man" shares one man's struggle with a fearful manifestation as he walks back into his past and he hopes to find his true self.

"The Sidon Incident" opens with "Ghostly figures in hooded garments" accompanying a corpse from Jerusalem. From that moment the reader will be hooked. C. David Priest captivates and takes the reader on a global journey involving ancient rituals, intermingled with modern intrigue, cloaked in the trappings of religion. Professor Ernst von Biden and reporter Marvin Challet embark on a oddessy that includes a young archeologist with an unknown illness, all the way to the Vatican.In between they are confronted with horrible betrayal, two malevolent assassins spreading fear and evil, and a set of unidentifiable bones deep in the cave of a shrine. Gnostics and Catholics battle legally and covertly to possess the shrine as Muslims watch. This author fluidly weaves together several story lines filled with surprises and a satisfying ending. The story radiates from the United States to Europe, climaxing in Lebanon. The Sidon Incident will leave you begging for more. Hisani P. Dubose
