Description

|
|
|
In this harrowing tale—a potent combination of mystery, psychological horror, and spiritual terror that was named one of the "113 Best Books of Modern Horror" by critic Stanley Wiater—a political prisoner is butchered in a secret government installation in California, while on the East Coast, an elderly Vermont farmer vanishes after an otherworldly encounter. Three amateur investigators with vastly differing philosophies—a psychologist, a physicist, and a priest—join forces to discover the hidden relationship between these two events, leading them from a gothic hospital for elderly and demented priests to a repository for advanced technology weapons. They encounter UFOs, supernatural religious phenomena, multiple personalities, and overwhelming psychic violence, even as a murderous psychopath stalks them. "Deux-X is a gripping, frightening novel," said Fangoria of this horror thriller from Vermont folklorist and public radio commentator Joseph Citro, also the author of Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors and Weird New England. "Weaving elements of science fiction, theology and mystery into a story of ultimate cosmic horror with contemporary and historical reverberations ... For those of you who are tired of vampires, serial killers and angst-ridden, deteriorating artists, Deux-X will be welcome relief. Its cosmic scope, several creepy scenes of grotesque, supernatural horror, plus a downbeat ending all add up to an epic novel of millennial terror."
