After a
horrific accident, graphic artist Jack Simmons and his wife, Cindy, have lost
all sense of a normal life. With their marriage in pieces, their only hope in
setting things back is by starting over. The two pack their lives in boxes and
migrate to the Big Easy. Upon arrival, Jack and Cindy fall into the jobs of
their dreams. The new start they were hoping for seemed to have been waiting
for them in New Orleans, after all. But something followed them. Something
Evil.
Jack is
commissioned to create the artwork for a graphic novel about a voodoo king, The
King of Evil. As Jack works diligently to create a masterpiece, drawing the
images back and forth between paper and his computer, he starts seeing things.
Images of his King appear in the corners of his vision. They spring up just as
Jack falls asleep. Always only inches out of plain sight.
The King
grows more powerful, and soon he unleashes his power on Jack, Cindy, and the
people in their lives. The King slowly destroys everyone around them, showing
the newly rekindled couple what it's like to be evil for evil's sake. Jack and
Cindy will need help from the King's past victims to stop him.
The King
of Evil is a heart-pounding, supernatural thriller. Its vibrant characters and
intense action is certain to keep its audience reading well into the night.
