Dead But Dreaming

Six thousand years ago the world's first civilization emerged in southern Mesopotamia. No one knows where the ancient Sumerians came from, for they were a people unrelated to any other people, and spoke a language unrelated to any other language. Theirs is the oldest known organized religion, oldest mythos, oldest monumental architecture, oldest form of writing - and oldest system of ritual magick. Some today still seek the forgotten wisdom of ancient Sumer. We call these intrepid seekers wizards, sorcerers, conjurors, magicians. And we fear them. For they summon monstrous powers out of the darkness, formless abominations that blind human eyes, shatter human minds, and enslave human souls. Enter Rudy Martel, handsome young clerk at a famous occult book store. Smart, capable, brave to a fault, he is also a pot-head, video game addict, compulsive gambler, and walking financial disaster. When the mangled corpse of a ruthless black magician is discovered in a remote mansion, Rudy suddenly finds himself in possession of a powerful magical journal. Buried in debt, and burning to apply his formidable knowledge of the occult, Rudy plunges into the obscure and dangerous discipline of Sumerian magick. His quest for wealth, power, and the love of a ravishing sorceress soon brings him face to face with madness and grisly death, and in the end brings the world to the brink of the Apocalypse. And thereby hangs a tale...
