I den fattige italienske region Calabrien har en landsbys befolkning ønsket, at en afdød ophøjes til helgen. Derfor sender Vatikanet en lærd og fornem monsignore ud for at se tingene an og vurdere situationen. Men kort efter ankomsten viser det sig, at landsbyen ikke er så uskyldsren som først troet. Alle har noget at skjule, og ingen ønsker, at deres hemmeligheder nogensinde ser dagens lys. Den australske forfatter Morris L. West (1916-1999) voksede op i Melbourne som den yngste af seks børn. Som 14-årig blev han en del af en munkeorden.

Earl Preston has been fighting dark, seemingly impossible forces, trying to prevent the return of ancient, otherworldly beings—creatures of unfathomable intellect, rumored to have created all life here on Earth. Gods or monsters, these unseen puppet masters continue to pull strings despite a millennia of exile. Now, as the gateway to their alien world nears completion, Earl must locate Hades’ secret base of operations, must destroy this doorway before it can be opened. And time is running out. Allies and foes alike are rallying their forces for one last confrontation.

Zeus' warriors, the defenders of humanity, have suffered terrible losses. Presumed dead, Earl Preston has been forced to retreat into a forgotten underworld beneath New York City, but he is still far from safe. Hades' disciples need only to recover the two remaining crystal skulls - ancient vessels of indescribable power - and their dark quest to return the vanquished gods to earth will be all but complete. To save civilization as we know it, Earl must rise to confront his greatest challenge yet, but this is a fight he cannot win alone.

Explores the background and sexual magical beliefs of Paschal Beverly Randolph, Ida Craddock, Aleister Crowley, Maria de Naglowska, Austin Osman Spare, Julius Evola, Franz Bardon, Jack Parsons, William S. Burroughs, Marjorie Cameron, Anton LaVey, and Genesis P-Orridge.

Terrifying creatures exist all around us, hiding in plain sight. Ancient. Deadly. They gather in secret, conspiring, dreaming of nothing less than humanity's destruction, and their numbers are growing. Earl Preston knows the danger all too well. After tangling with a horde of mythological sea monsters in Colonial Bay, he has been tasked with finding these beasts and exposing their plans whatever they may be. But Earl is not the only one with a mystery on their hands.

On the advice of his wife, Paul Rice is making plans to attend his 10th year High School reunion. Returning to his boyhood home of Harmony, Indiana, he finds that he is still haunted by memories of that time-memories of Deidra, his first love, and memories of the Wide Game. It was 10 years ago that Paul and his friends watched their day of fun become a race for their lives, a fight for their very souls. Now, as he meets the survivors of that day once more, Paul makes a chilling discovery: The incomprehensible forces that toyed with them have yet to finish playing their own game.

There are some places in this world that go far beyond any normal definition of “haunted”. These places are so evil and so diabolical that they become gateways to hell itself.

It is said that old man Fuller conducted unspeakable acts, blood rituals, and human sacrifices, all in an attempt to gain the ultimate knowledge, the ultimate power. And then, he was killed - horribly murdered on his own land, leaving the house to stand as a vacant monument to his wickedness.
