Evil Lives In Blue Rock
FICTION | THRILLER
Evil Lives in Blue Rock is the age-old tale of good vs. evil with a twist. Lucien Bluerock, a direct descendent of the town's fathers, lives in his gloomy mansion on the hill overlooking "his" town. Benjamin, his grandson, returns to Blue Rock along with Agate Mitchell- a childhood friend- to attend his mother's funeral. They soon learn that the Riverman, Evil Spirit, Bad Tomanous - it has many names, but is known throughout history- the ANCIENT MENACE is loose, crawled up out of the sea where powerful shamen have kept it contained for many years.

The atrocities begin upon the people of Blue Rock and members of the Quail River Reservation where the evil entity inhabits the body of Jimmy Talltree, the local tribal policeman. It is all the chosen few with the "power" can do to force the Evil One back into the sea from whence it came, using ancient rites and rituals handed down through the generations. Only their gods will know if they have succeeded this time or not in their endeavor to rid this earth of the anti-Christ.
