THE OASIS OF FEAR

After suffering through the traumatic events of The Oasis of Hope, 40-year-old travel agent Stanley Palmer has awoken from his coma. Surviving the battle for his soul, fought against the terrifying backdrop of winged demons and the corruption of evil, Stan has returned to the safety of the familiar world that used to cause him so many problems, but now seems like heaven in comparison to the hellscape he escaped from. Unfortunately, upon returning it quickly becomes apparent that the divide which keeps the two different dimensions from interacting is slowly crumbling, and his escape from the nightmare that nearly claimed his life isn’t as permanent as he hoped it would be. With time once again running out, Stan is pulled back into the violent world of masochism and fiery brimstone that threatened to tear his soul apart, given a mission to accomplish in a last-ditch effort to stop the twisted paradise of The Valley of Lost Souls from spreading to Stan’s home. The second chapter in Matthew Newell’s brilliantly haunting fantasy series, The Oasis of Fear follows up the stunning fight for survival found in the first novel with a new tale where the entire fate of the world hangs in the balance. With optimism dashed and any form of faith extinguished, as friends turn into enemies and manipulation creates fragile alliances, Stan and his few allies find themselves fighting back in a confusing, hellish land where the remaining embers of hope have been replaced with pure, palpable fear.
