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

This bundle includes the following five audiobooks: "The Lark": Danny is a struggling singer willing to do almost anything to get a little exposure and keep food on the table, so she doesn't think twice about traveling to the middle of nowhere to perform a gig. When she's stranded at an abandoned airport, however, she finds herself exposed to a sinister creature with a hunger for something only she can provide. "Heaven's Gun": Jacob is a small-time criminal who dabbles in everything from drugs to prostitutes to illegal weapons. When he finds a gun that seems to be of supernatural origin, he begins to dream of the big time. His dream turns into a nightmare when he realizes someone wants their toy back. "Foolkillers": When lonely middle-manager Avery Brocus set up a profile on an adult hookup site, he never dreamed a young hottie would contact him, let alone insist on meeting in person. Agreeing too quickly, he expects to be robbed of his money or identity. He soon realizes he's been caught up in a plot for something far more valuable. "Knotty & Ice": Even though he's one of the Heartland Security Agency's Peacemaker agents, a man sworn to help protect and preserve the morality of the US, Neal can't give up his habit of patronizing prostitutes. When one of them steals the prototype of a top-secret device, however, he has no choice but to come clean in order to rally fellow agents for a recovery mission. His situation goes from bad to worse when he is tricked into a plot to take down one of the Agency's most powerful secret allies - an angel from Heaven & Hell. "Rogue Beauty": A fugitive from the Sprytes, one of the most dangerous supernatural cults on Earth, Betty has refashioned herself as a revealer of dark conspiracies and a killer of misogynous conspirators. On her crusade, she has successfully stayed off the radar for months. When the Sprytes close in, however, Betty may find herself entangled in a conspiracy too dark to escape.
