Everyone Dies Famous in a Small TownAuthor: White, Wrath James |
||||
|
Mika Shaw is a promiscuous, drug-addicted, schizophrenic who lives in Bishop, California, a small town in the Eastern Sierras where there’s nothing to do but drink, get high, and have sex. Plagued by bizarre hallucinations, reality and nightmares co-exist in her mind, indistinguishable from one another. When her closest friends begin dying all around her under increasingly violent and bizarre circumstances, Mika is terrified that this time the nightmares aren’t just in her head. The Paiute believe that malevolent spirits called Pahoha, water-babies, live in the Owens River. The Pahoha have pale skin and black eyes and their voices sound like the cries of young children summoning strangers to the lake to be drowned. Sometimes they look like lost loved ones, dead friends or relatives calling from the other side. To see them is to be fatally cursed . . . and Mika has seen them. |

In just 50 years the population of the planet is expected to double. But not if Todd can help it.

Twenty for one. Twenty souls for his brother’s life is a price that seductively beautiful Samson is willing to pay. Twenty souls drenched in blood, powdered with cocaine and more than one kind of ecstasy. A fair trade for the life of a brother. A fair trade for the life of a priest. And everyone he meets seems so willing to give theirs away. Samuel’s faith often wavers. Diagnosed with HIV and in rapid decline, he hides his disillusionment in the rituals of the priesthood. But when Samson brings him the first blood-signed contract for a young woman’s immortal soul, the steamy world of high fashion male models and the quiet decay of a sickly priest begin to writhe against the realities of life, death, and otherworldly power. Brotherly love is a deadly seduction, beauty a dangerous game. Come worship in the brutal temple of Orgy of Souls. Your faith will never be the same again. A novel by Wrath James White and Maurice Broaddus, with cover art by D. E. Christman. |

The abductees, with basically no self-control, commit some of the most depraved sex acts, over and over again. Westmore and Bryant, a photographer and journalist, are given the rare opportunity to interview the reclusive Farrington and see inside his mansion and operation. Only to find the horrors within, and who have become pawns in the mysteries they find behind every door. Farrington’s plan may work, and to make sure he’s sucessful, he will do whatever it takes to have the deity of man face him. |
