The Grim Reverend Steven Rage

Opis

-Del, a man who, when confronted with evidence that his wife was cheating, unsuccessfully attempts suicide and ends up confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak or even breathe on his own. And then he's released to the care of his cheating wife and her lover. To the outside world, they're a devoted wife and good friend. Privately, they taunt, torment and torture the helpless Del--until a demon shows up to help him. Ah, but it's not quite that simple: Rage starts the story out with the Euripides quote, -The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.- And Rage weaves this theme into the characters' backstories, giving the story an extra dimension.- Ray Holland, Amazon Review. -Del's wife Luci is having an affair with her drug supplier, Sancho. Sancho and Luci eventually manage to get custody of the invalid Del, and Sancho uses this as payback time from their navy days (apparently Del had done something to ruin Sancho's career). The story becomes an extreme torture tale, one that made me wince a few times...but Del manages to turn the tables via a Faust-ish deal with a demon. Rage also gives another fresh spin here on ghosts, making this a perfect blend of hardcore horror and Bizarro goodness.- Nick Cato, Amazon Review.
