Pandemonium: Halloween Recap

Happy Halloween everybody!! I thought this would be a good time to give everyone a recap of Christmas in Pandemonium rather than give you another Week in Pandemonium. The reason being that one of the major events in Pandemonium History takes place on Halloween.

For those of you wondering what I am talking about, my soon-to-be published novel, Christmas in Pandemonium, takes place in a town on the eastern coast of South Carolina founded by two groups of people in 1620: a coven of Satan-worshiping Witches and a crew of pirates, called the Strangers, who ferried them to the new world for a price. After seeing their passengers commit an act of human sacrifice on board, the Strangers turn into religious zealots who kidnap the Witches next sacrificial victim and burn her at the stake, for being a Witch, of course. This happens Halloween night, 1620. Unfortunately, the following All Saints Day, they learn that the woman they burned the night before was actually a Stono princess the Witches had taken the day before. When the princess’s father, a Stono War Chief, finds out his daughter is dead, he threatens to kill both the Strangers and the Witches. However, the two groups put their differences aside, kill the Stono, and found the town of Pandemonium. 400 years later Pandemonium is still there, now with a surplus of ghosts and a group of Jewish werewolves who immigrated in the 1890s.

In the modern day, the Witches have become the most lackadaisical Satanists in the world, replacing human sacrifice with the crushing of a bug. The Strangers have sold their church to Prosperity Gospel preacher Miles Simon, leading to Simon discovering the existence of Theo, an Irish vampire in the church’s crypt. Simon tries to convince Theo to hypnotize people into giving Simon money, but Theo turns him down. Simon then resurrects Theo’s rival, Scratch, who is a theocratic vampire, to do what Theo wants. Scratch has other ideas however, and it’s up to the locals to bring him down. The book should be published soon through I Ain’t Your Marionette Press. I’m planning a series of seven, so fingers crossed. I’ll have further updates in the future, but for now, I just wanted to remind everyone of what all this promotion is about. Happy Halloween, enjoy a few horror movies and make a mental note to check out Christmas in Pandemonium as we approach the holidays.
