Description
|
|
Seth is a worker angel - one of many whose job it is to clean old souls,
those soiled and broken and in need of cleaning in order to be recycled.
But when Seth starts to doubt the veracity of his work, starts to wonder
if old souls can truly be cleansed of their past evils, he decides to
travel down to Earth and see what has become of one of the old souls.
Cassius 'Corey' Willis is living a colourless existence; stuck in a rut,
he dreams of living a different life, of being somebody else. But when
a mysterious stranger offers him the answer to his dreams, Cassius will
learn the truth of his past. A past so stained with violence and bloodlust
it refuses to be wiped clean . . . and a secret so horrific that it may
shatter his very soul.

Praise for THE FAMILIAR STRANGER and BRETT MCBEAN
|
|
'The Familiar Stranger is a concerto for sadist with piercings of black comedy.'
- Simon Clark
Author of LONDON UNDER MIDNIGHT and VAMPYRRHIC
'Brett McBean has written another winner, a creepy tale of haunted angels, tortured souls,
and a bloodthirsty serial killer. The most original idea I've read in quite some time . . . .
I read it in one sitting, 'cause I couldn't stop till I found out what the hell was going on!
Mark my words: You won't be able to put it down either.'
- James Newman
Author of MIDNIGHT RAIN, THE WICKED and ANIMOSITY
'Brett McBean is as brash and brutal as a young Jack Ketchum. He visits the dark rooms inside us all.'
- Scott Nicholson
Author of THE MANOR and THE HARVEST
'McBean's voice is one that should be heard - a hint of Laymon and Koontz, yet distinctly his own.'
- Brian Keene
Author of THE RISING, CITY OF THE DEAD and THE CONQUEROR WORMS
