The Resurrection Murders

Set against a background of modern Hollywood, with everything from underground rave parties, crazies, and massive earthquakes, The Resurrection Murders presents a terrifying story of serial muders and of real magic as practiced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world today. Real magic can used to help or to harm...but for what goals? The Resurrection Murders follows occultist Simon Raven who leads an occult group of people known as the “Warriors of the Light.” Most of the Warriors are beginners, but now they are thrust into using magical powers they are just developing to stop the killings before anyone else is harmed. Breathtaking magical battles take place on the ground and in the “astral plane” as they confront a powerful, unknown enemy. The police investigate but are helpless in the face of bad clues, wacky occultists, frenzied fundamentalists, and simple politics. The story, by world-famous author, occultist, and magician Donald Michael Kraig, leads inexorably to a terrifying climax with earthquakes, and killer smog as mere signs of an invasion by a horrifying, indestructible, 10,000-year-old demon. Will Simon and the Warriors succeed against the unstoppable, or will they be destroyed, leaving the world to suffer as slaves of the demon? You will come to care deeply for the very human characters inThe Resurrection Murders. Simon is overconfident. Will it lead to his downfall and the destruction of civilization? Eris is powerful and erotic. But is she too eager to experience something—-anything—new? Allenda is insecure, but keeps being placed in positions where she has to make decisions. Will she be able to make the most difficult decision anyone can make? Paul, the detective, is fed up with politics. Will he discover the secret of the unknown symbol before it’s too late? And then there is a character so powerful who will leave you terrified, wondering if such people really exist. The amazing conclusion will both satisfy and leave you wondering, “What lies beyond our thin veil of skepticism?” The Resurrection Murders is a story you will not forget.
