THE 37TH MANDALA by Marc Laidlaw
There's a sucker born every minute.
And there's people out there who know how to make a buck out of those suckers.
Take Derek Crowe, he's an ad-copy writer who decides he can make a lot of money out of the New Agers in the world by writing occult books.
And he's right!
He learns the secrets of the mandalas and writes his book. As far as he is concerned the mandalas are his road to making lots and lots of cash.
But Crowe ups the ante a little: he alters the mystical texts to make the evil mandalas seem much more "user-friendly", pleasant and human-helpful.
But they're not. They're evil, and just waiting to be released.
The book is published and Crowe sits back ready to receive his rewards.
But the rewards he receives are not those he wanted.
All he has succeeded to do is unleash on the earth a horror that is unstoppable and hungry for destruction and flesh.
And there's very little anyone can do to stop them...
This is a terrific horror novel that reaches boiling point fast! Terrifically strong characterization and twisting subplots serve to build the tension to breaking point. The characters are strong, the beasts are believable and the irony is compelling.
Some of the most breath-taking images will stay with you long after you have finished the book.
One of the best horror novels to hit this editor's desk in a long long time.
Buy it!
