Summary

A defrocked priest turned exorcists faces his greatest challenge—a baby—in this horror novel from the author of Sorrow’s Turn. Jimmy Holiday, exorcist extraordinaire, is about to embark on his most unusual case yet—a baby that may be possessed by the demonic...or worse, a true demon spawn. The Order wants him to make sure it is a true case and not some hoax...or so they say. Once Jimmy arrives, the situation changes into a living nightmare. The Order is not what he thought at all. And now, they demand he commit an unspeakable act. But Jimmy has enough scars of his own. When the full truth of the corruption within the Order comes to light, Jimmy must act. With a voudou woman who lives down the lane as an ally, Jimmy must fight for the life of this supernatural child, but at what cost?If you like Darcy Coates, Jack Ketchum, Robert R. McCammon, Willow Rose, and Joe Hill, you’ll love this ghostly dark fantasy filled with enough occult and supernatural to scratch that horror itch!“I am a huge fan of this series, and so far, this is my favorite. The characters are well developed and familiar, and the terror is worse than ever. If you like dark fiction with this author’s trademark humor, then I suggest you pick up Sorrow’s Lie.”—Steven Ramirez, author of The Girl in the Mirror

    Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
     
    Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
     
    Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
     
    After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
     
    In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
     
    Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
     
    After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
     
    For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
     
    Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73

    WHO AM I? My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. 
    I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane. 
    Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers, and they know me as the Angel of Death. When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. 
    If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. 
    The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing with me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. 
    And now...they might just be playing with yours too.
