The Reaper

Where do you draw the line between revenge and obsession? Everything was fine until the letter arrived. That was when Neil Stephenson swore he would get revenge upon Tom Grady, the boy he feels is responsible for the death of his mother. Anthony “Gizmo” Douglas doesn’t like the look he sees on his friend’s face, because for the slightest of seconds, he could see the visage of the Grim Reaper replace that of Neil’s. And it isn’t long after that moment that Tom Grady is found in his cell in Juvenile, a victim of suicide. Anthony knows that Neil is behind this treachery; the letter he found when Neil was adopted proves as much: penned in blood and describing in perfect grisly detail exactly the fate that had befallen Tom Grady. But Neil’s vengeance does not end there, and the body count keeps piling, until one day Neil vanishes without a trace. Years later, trying to put the past behind him, Anthony Douglas has become a happily married and successful horror novelist. But the nightmares start occurring, and he soon realizes people are dying in his hometown exactly as he has described in some of his most macabre novels. Somehow, Neil has passed his demonic power onto him, and he must travel back to his hometown; back to where all of this started, to put an end to Neil’s treachery once and for all and save both of their eternally damned souls.
