Eve of Light

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 Blood Light is not for the casual reader. Strongly recommended for those already familiar with the Eve of Light series.

Frank Sanders knows all about going to extremes to ensure certain ideals. As a one-time Black Peacemaker for the Heartland Security Agency, the government taught him a variety of unsavory methods to preserve the sanctity of American families and protect their children against domestic threats. He learned a little too well. Designated as too extreme for even a black-ops unit, Sanders was forced to retire. Some retirees choose to spend their time fishing. Some busy themselves with house and garden projects. Sanders chooses to hunt. His targets: viral humans infested with parasites that feed on blood and light, endowing their carriers with supernatural abilities. Remaining in the shadows and free of constraints, Sanders has excelled at locating and eradicating those he calls deviants. But when the government asks him to track down another notorious Black Peacemaker, who's not only been infected with the bizarre virus but has given it to his wife and children, Sanders sets out on his most difficult hunt to date, one that will force him to question many of the ideals for which he's fought and push him to extremes he's never known. A gritty, surreal, and uncompromising Dark Metaphysical Fantasy.
