Dead ReckoningSpeaking Volumes - Fiction Readers' Favorite and Eric Hoffer Award-Winning-Author “…one of the most complex and well-crafted dark figures that I’ve seen in horror, and that’s in a very long time as a fan of the genre…a psychological, fulfilling, and bone-shaking horror story with complexity and genuine terror.” —K.C. Finn, Award-winning author of Book of Shade Professor Ignatius Greyson is about to be terminated for fraud and sexual abuse, but he won’t go quietly. He’s determined to take revenge on everyone who ever dismissed his intellect, and the perfect weapon for doing so lies somewhere among the one hundred fifty Titanic dead buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Greyson has chased clues to the correct grave from Russia to Czechoslovakia, but after a series of appalling blunders, he is desperate for help. That’s when he comes upon Chris Chandler, infamous defender of the dead as he’s called by the press in Maine. With the promise of a college scholarship, Greyson induces an unwitting Chandler to help in his hunt. When, however, Chandler realizes the lengths to which Greyson will go to recover the lost weapon and unleash its terrifying power, their conflict is joined. With the help of a Holocaust survivor who carries a grim and shameful secret of his own, Chris must battle Greyson to the death or become the very monstrous thing he has dedicated his life to vanquishing. Praise for Ivan Blake Dead Silent Dead Silent is quite the gift, complete with a black bow, to horror fans. A ghoulish gem, Dead Silent juggles the Gothic New England ambiance, the parade of sleazy characters, and the occasional supernatural mauling with panache. —Kirkus Reviews Ivan Blake excels in crafting enjoyable, seat-of-your-pants, high-octane tension…readers who like fast-paced horror with a big dose of history and mystery will find Dead Silent heady, engrossing, and nearly impossible to put down. —Midwest Book Review |
