Book excerpt: A chance meeting at a cathedral's demolition site between a suffering young woman and a stranger morphs from unsettling to terrifying when you discover the stranger's true identity. He is simultaneously more and less than he appears: An injured man lost in the wilderness is haunted by a demon that he might or might not recognize from his past: Is John Lennon still alive? Deb Stiles thinks so, and when she convinces a young reporter to investigate, nothing in their lives will ever be the same again. From there you are taken on a dark journey through a skewed landscape where nothing, not even a lowly can of bug spray, can ever be considered harmless or innocent. These stories run the gamut from psychological horror to action adventure to supernatural suspense to Lovecraftian nightmares. SERVANTS OF DARKNESS Will make you question your own beliefs about sanity and madness. Includes Hall’s first ever published short story, 1995s “BugShot”
