Dead Reckoning (The Mortsafeman Trilogy)

Winner of Eric Hoffer and Readers' Favorite Awards "...one of the most complex and well-crafted dark figures that I've seen in horror, and that's in a very long time as a fan of the genre...a psychological, fulfilling, and bone-shaking horror story with complexity and genuine terror." -K.C. Finn, Amazon best-selling and multi-award winning author of Book of Shade Professor Ignatius Greyson is about to be terminated for fraud and sexual abuse, but he won't go quietly. He's determined to take revenge on everyone who ever dismissed his intellect, and the perfect weapon for doing so lies somewhere among the one hundred fifty Titanic dead buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Greyson has chased clues to the correct grave from Russia to Czechoslovakia, but after a series of appalling blunders, he is desperate for help. That's when he comes upon Chris Chandler, infamous defender of the dead as he's called by the press in Maine. With the promise of a college scholarship, Greyson induces an unwitting Chandler to help in his hunt. When, however, Chandler realizes the lengths to which Greyson will go to recover the lost weapon and unleash its terrifying power, their conflict is joined. With the help of a Holocaust survivor who carries a grim and shameful secret of his own, Chris must battle Greyson to the death or become the very monstrous thing he has dedicated his life to vanquishing. Praise for Ivan Blake Winner of Eric Hoffer and Readers' Favorite Awards Dead Scared "In this gloriously macabre novel-the first installment of a series-Blake channels Stephen King and 1980s cult films like Re-Animator...Fans should claw at Blake's windows for more graveyard tales after this delightful series opener." -Kirkus Reviews "An intense and brooding tale that delivers...plot had me instantly hooked...writing is often lyrically lovely, but this never gets in the way of the action and horror that this book is steeped in...eagerly anticipating the next book in Blake's The Mortsafeman Trilogy..." -Readers' Favorite
