Twenty years ago a mysterious group called the Butteri committed a series of bizarre crimes, leaving in their wake several bodies, a cryptic message and a kidnapped child. Now, the leaders of the G8 are descending on Rome for a summit, but when a politician is found ritually murdered detective Nic Costa suspects that the old case was never really solved...
When the meek need defending, they call on Blue Demon, a guardian of bloodshed and retribution. Its loyalty is forever, as long as you remain righteous. For those that oppress the demon's flock, life grows short. It kills in the most brutal fashion, and maims those it most despises. It has no feelings, only loyalty and devotion for the ones it protects. Of course, this is all from the Blue Demon television show and Cal Langston, Blue Demon's biggest fan, knows such things can't be real, at least not until the people who messed with him start dying in the most horrific of ways. Frightened and not sure what to believe, he sets out to discover what is truly going on, and if Blue Demon is for real, does he want it watching over him?
THE BLUE DEMON: A novella in the tradition of Nineteenth Century literature. The crew of a Spanish merchant ship discovers they have a stranger among them: a Moor with an odd nickname and worse yet, debilitating agoraphobia. The ship is thrown far off course by a cyclone and stranded in a giant kelp field. Added to their misfortune, an invisible visitor snacks on the crew at night, using their half-rotted heads like puppets, beckoning to them from the water. The crew must make an effort to understand their odd crewmate before they can vanquish their assailant together. Classic horror in the style of Edgar Allan Poe and William Hope Hodgson. For fans of classic sea tales, neo-Victorian, Steampunk and Horror.
There is a hell on earth and you've probably been there: a place we learn is home sometimes-dangerous, mythical and real. It is 'the world you cannot love' says Prevost and he means that as a challenge. Every poem in The Blue Demon sees the exact pitiful things that make living difficult or impossible, and every poem sings with such force that beauty comes. And hope is possible. How do you turn river water into whiskey strong enough to clear your head? This book is that ambitious and that good. - Steve Scafidi, The Cabinetmaker's Window I love Chad Prevost's The Blue Demon. I love its willingness to follow the muse, and I love the wild rides that pursuit takes us on, as it does in 'Letter to a First Love after a Cosmic Vision'-('I have seen the future, Melinda, and you are in it'). And perhaps I love best of all Prevost's sense of humor that leads us back to our own lives, enriched. - Arthur Smith, The Fortunate Era In his previous books, Chad Prevost had shown a willingness to experiment and that he had an ear for the idioms, speech patterns and vernacular of the contemporary American characters that populated those poems. He has now grown deeper and wider in his listening, the hard-won empathy for his underdogs has sharpened, and he has honed the music of these voices into his finest work, plowing forward with a sensitivity and purpose that will enlarge every interaction. The best poetry always rewards us with the road maps that show the world's hidden webbing, and heals the wounds inflicted by too much reason, unveiling the Truth in its Sunday clothes. Prevost's characters share their brushes with grace and wonder, and remind us just how fragile this life can be, and how majestic, the repeated surprises of its musical offerings like a clean dose of salts to our senses. - Keith Flynn, Colony Collapse Disorder
When a terrorist group stationed in Rome adopts a symbol from an ancient civilization to justify a violent agenda targeting a G8 conference, Nic Costa of the Questura is called upon to discern the terrorist leader's plot and uncovers disturbing links to top government levels. By the author of The Garden of Evil.
At the end of the Civil War, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman was surprisingly more popular in the newly defeated South than he was in the North. Yet, only thirty years later, his name was synonymous with evil and destruction in the South, particularly as the creator and enactor of the “total war” policy. In Demon of the Lost Cause, Wesley Moody examines these perplexing contradictions and how they and others function in past and present myths about Sherman. Throughout this fascinating study of Sherman’s reputation, from his first public servant role as the major general for the state of California until his death in 1891, Moody explores why Sherman remains one of the most controversial figures in American history. Using contemporary newspaper accounts, Sherman’s letters and memoirs, as well as biographies of Sherman and histories of his times, Moody reveals that Sherman’s shifting reputation was formed by whoever controlled the message, whether it was the Lost Cause historians of the South, Sherman’s enemies in the North, or Sherman himself. With his famous “March to the Sea” in Georgia, the general became known for inventing a brutal warfare where the conflict is brought to the civilian population. In fact, many of Sherman’s actions were official tactics to be employed when dealing with guerrilla forces, yet Sherman never put an end to the talk of his innovative tactics and even added to the stories himself. Sherman knew he had enemies in the Union army and within the Republican elite who could and would jeopardize his position for their own gain. In fact, these were the same people who spread the word that Sherman was a Southern sympathizer following the war, helping to place the general in the South’s good graces. That all changed, however, when the Lost Cause historians began formulating revisions to the Civil War, as Sherman’s actions were the perfect explanation for why the South had lost. Demon of the Lost Cause reveals the machinations behind the Sherman myth and the reasons behind the acceptance of such myths, no matter who invented them. In the case of Sherman’s own mythmaking, Moody postulates that his motivation was to secure a military position to support his wife and children. For the other Sherman mythmakers, personal or political gain was typically the rationale behind the stories they told and believed. In tracing Sherman’s ever-changing reputation, Moody sheds light on current and past understanding of the Civil War through the lens of one of its most controversial figures.
