| The Reaper |
Maggie Wilson can’t seem to relinquish her
harness to the allure of the dead.
Spurning her family’s wishes, and even ultimately
ending her romantic relationship with writer, David
Bells, she follows the footfalls and whispered
rumors of an old hospital to its sixth floor. Its
upper levels had long been closed, following the
brutal slayings of 18 hospital staff by one of its
clinically insane female patients. Maggie, after
conducting her own research, follows the taunts
of supernatural callings and never looks back.
Enter David Bells. Aware of Maggie’s fascination
with the dead, he grimly follows the telltale clues
to her destination, and desperately attempts to
delay her inevitable future of grisly gore. He is
fighting for his love for Maggie, as she struggles
to conquer a legendary demon to save her own
life.
Readers can’t help but searchingly follow the
eerie, slanted terrain of Joseph McGee’s lurid
prose. A young man with a penchant for
spellbinding suspense of the supernatural, this
chapbook contains enough twists and turns to
white-knuckle your grip as The Reaper himself
breathes his darkness into your soul.
“I wanted to put my own twist on things, to have
instead of one ultimate badass, a whole race of
them from the depths of Hell. When I tell a story I
make people think, wonder, to ask themselves,
‘What if?’ That's what I enjoy,” explains McGee.
Already attracting the feedback of horror
reviewers; critics are endorsing McGee’s first of
the three Reaper chapbooks.
Says SkullRing.org:
“...'The Reaper' is a good choice for fans of the
graphic horror of Clive Barker and those who
enjoy fiction with a strong cinematic flavor.”

| The limited edition chapbook being publishing by Magus Press in early 2008 is on track to be released in time for the World Horror Convention in Utah in March 2008, and should be readily available to see at the convention on site, on Magus Press.com, and at the time, I will be selling very few copies via my web site. Please keep in mind that the release date is subject to change due to complications out of my - and the publisher's - control. |
