Desecrating Solomon

Book 1 of 3

By: Lucian Bane

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Weston, West Virginia, malevolence doesn't just lurk—it hunts.

I find her hanging from a gnarled tree like some dark omen wrapped tightly in a decadent red dress.
Once I get her safely in my cabin home, I discover she's a canvas of brutality and not just her body.

"Please. No telling.
No authorities."

That's what she makes me swear and I do.
But why did this happen to her?
Who did it?
Where were they now?

Nursing her back to health, I secretly investigate
but every day produces dead ends with more disturbing questions.

A voice in me says run.
Take her as far as I can from the dread circling that unholy town.
I listen to that voice, but every road out of Weston
is a loop that leads us back to the very evil we're desperate to escape.

It feels like the clock is ticking,
counting down to a horrifying event neither of us can fully comprehend
but are destined to be part of.

Sometimes love becomes the most perilous choice,
a labyrinth with no clear exit.
It leaves you groping in the darkness
where the air is replaced with hair raising horror
and impending doom.
