problems. Not to mention that there's a mysterious godeater on the

...And where the hell is Lucifer? File Under: Fantasy [ Gods
Behaving Badly | Power Struggle | The Way He Tells 'Em | Simply
Devine ]
A host of drug dealers meets a foe they cannot kill. The president
accidentally invites demons into the country and watches the pope
turn into a sabertooth tiger. A man, dead since 1920, lives again
in present day Los Angeles to satiate a malevolent goddess. These
tales by Michael Boatman will disturb, terrify and traumatize you.
Boatman grabs you by throat and drags you kicking and screaming
through his prose. With a dash of Lansdale and a smattering of
Martina's Wild Cards, the tales within inhabit the dark and nasty
side of our souls, and throughout Boatman infuses it all with a
keen wit and an eye for detail. And when he lets you up to breathe,
like God, you might just find yourself laughing. This is the sort
of stuff I like to read as the bells sound midnight. Paul Haines
award-winning author of Doorways for the Dispossessed Boatman's
debut collection will knock you down and kick you in the teeth.
Alternatingly hysterical, grotesque, bizarre, and fantastic,
Boatman's collection is a must-read for anyone itching to get their
hands on fresh new fiction that pulls no punches. Ronald Damien
Malfi, author of The Nature of Monsters and The Fall of Never
Michael Boatman writes like a visitor from hell. Someone out on
short term leave for bad behavior. I love this stuff. He's one of
the new, and more than promising, writers making his mark, and a
dark and wonderful mark it is. Joe R. Lansdale
Alex Cross's whole world is crashing down around him. He has been
hunted, stalked like prey, his predator priming himself for the
kill. Cross has devoted his life to protecting others. Now he's
unable to protect even those closest to him. As a police detective,
he has made many enemies, but never like this. Everything he loves
is being taken from him. Soon he will have nothing and no one left.
