Bording on the extreme side of horror “Deacon” offers the reader a full size helping of blood and gore,while delving into the psychological & metaphysical side of the genre. From a ravaged landscape where the dead walk the Earth to the tortured mind of a man balancing a tightrope between insanity and what he believes to be reality, Deacon will leave you guess until the very end, and possible long after.
