How pretty would a man have to be for you to sign over to him your immortal soul? If you've never asked yourself that question, it's only because you've never read "Orgy of Souls."

A thoughtful look at the role of God in the tragedies of the world might not automatically bring to mind visions of beautiful party boys and orgiastic bloodbaths, but in the hands of Maurice Broaddus and Wrath James White, the melding of such opposites is the perfect backdrop for the story of two brothers, each trying to save the other from what he has become.

Samuel, a priest who questions his faith as he fights a losing battle with AIDS, struggles to retain his dignity and hide his doubts from those around him. His brother, Samson, a high-end fashion model who indulges in every excess and finds each one lacking, loves nothing in the world except for Samuel. As Samson sinks deeper into the darkness of violent rituals intended to barter for his brother's life, Samuel must face up to his own doubts and fears in order to stop Samson's growing lust for blood and souls.

Blood, sex, rage, repentance and otherworldly horror...all are invited to the "Orgy of Souls."

About the Authors

Maurice Broaddus's work has appeared in Weird Tales, Horror Literature Quarterly, and a wide variety of anthologies. His story "Family Business" won first prize at the World Horror Convention Story Competition in 2003. Often known as the Sinister Minister, Broaddus says of the religious aspects of his writing: "As writers, our worldviews - from nihilistic to religious - are a part of us and thus a part of our writing. What we believe, why we believe, it's all in there."

Wrath James White is a professional fighter and writer, two pursuits that blend together to create unrelenting prose. His novels include Teratologist (co-written with Edward Lee), Poisoning Eros (co-written with Monica O-Rourke), and Succulent Prey. "If you have a weak stomach, a closed mind, rigid morals, and Victorian sexual ethics, then avoid my writing like the plague," says Wrath. If, on the other hand, you want hard-hitting fiction where nothing is taboo, you've found the right author.
