Dark Mass

Boiling up from depths, a long dormant mythological power rides the rivers of magma searching for an escape. It finds it when Mount Saint Helens erupts. It spews molten rock, ash and flares of lava, opening a gate. It releases the mythological power. It is savage. It is treacherous. It is free.

Spooky’s murders are exhibits, the location and brutality- messages. He carves his victims with a purpose… to deliver Biblical warnings… obscure Latin quotes from the Vulgate Bible.

Spooky is savage and unrelenting, and he thinks he is doing God’s bidding. But Spooky is an acolyte of a demonic spirit that desires more than murders -he demands butchery delivered with a blood-soaked biblical warning with the wrath of God behind it.

To stop the killings and the apocalypse that will follow, detective Parker, aided by a mysterious spirit guide, must piece together a puzzle. How do passages from the Latin Vulgate Bible, mythical tribal forces, his former lover, detective Martin, and a series of vicious murders fit together?
