Former magician Wilson Kemp thought he had his hands full
with trying to battle the lure of the bottle and reconnect
with his beloved wife and daughter. He never expected a
suppressed horror from 20 years in the past to stalk him
and present a danger to all he holds dear.
When Wilson starts to receive cryptic messages from an "old
friend," he thinks he has everything figured out, and his
first instinct is to get his wife and daughter as far away
from him as possible. Little does he know that he hasn't
figured out even the tip of the iceberg, and it is already
too late to try to escape the STRANGE MAGIC.
Gord Rollo has created an enticing horror adventure
along the lines of an early John Saul, Andrew
Neiderman or William Johnstone. A satisfying
story, STRANGE MAGIC brings one back to the era of early
pulp horror, when young readers would hide under the covers
with flashlights...and then be too frightened to turn the
flashlights out!
In the dead of night, beside a fading fire deep in the
cold woods, a solitary man sits on a magician’s old
theatrical trunk…planning the hideous death of Wilson
Kemp. The trunk is battered and cracked, its garish paint
peeling, but its contents are very special—Wilson Kemp’s
worst fear, come back to haunt him.
Kemp thought he could escape his past. As time went by he
actually began to hope he could leave the nightmares
behind him. But he is about to discover that some
nightmares have no end and no escape. It’s taken years of
patient, inexorable searching, but his past has finally
caught up with him. And only his blood will satisfy it.
