Strange Gods

Winter, 1884.

Five years following his defeat of Hell's Dark Riders, a new life of peace has at last found retired demon hunter Everett Greene. Far away from the wicked influence of the infernal City, Everett has settled his young family in the fledgling community of Greenesboro, where he hopes to raise his son away from the monsters and mayhem that he, himself, once battled.

But when the quiet town of Greenesboro is visited by a stranger promising prosperity, Everett senses that perhaps the evil he sought to leave behind has followed him, after all. The wealthy newcomer John Graves begins to poison the minds of the townspeople with a twisted religion, and soon Everett realizes that he will again have to face down the darkness.

Everett is joined in this endeavor by his friends - the young widow Virginia Hallerin and outlaw Dead Eye Reggie, among others. Each one is put to the test, challenging just how much they can stand to sacrifice and how long their faith can last against the cunning of Graves, who shows himself to be both more familiar and more terrible than any of them had expected.

Strange Gods is the middle act in an epic new tale that sets the stage for the events depicted in The Coming Evil Trilogy.
