What do you do when you have opened the gates of Hell and nothing you do can close them again? A young couple's dream home becomes their worst nightmare when tragedy strikes them again and again. What triggered it? Was it the artifact accidentally unearthed in the back yard? Was it a curse held over from the days of slavery? Or was it something infinitely more sinister? Is there any way to escape the evil that has been unleashed? Listen in as Michael Blake recounts the story of his wife's tragic death, and the events leading up to that fateful night, to a bartender on a slow night in New Jersey. Hear the tale of a young couple toyed with by the devil himself, like a cat playing with a doomed mouse. Find out what secret Michael is carrying about the night his wife died...a secret to be taken to the grave... ...if it hasn't gotten there already.          Excerpt I watched her carefully as she slowly turned her head to stare out the window at the old house. Frost began forming down the back of my neck, spreading its icy fingers. When she answered, she spoke softly, almost to herself. Her expression was far away. It was almost as if she were talking to me from another universe. “I don’t think it matters whether I want to, or not. I think we have to.” She turned her head back toward me with a look on her face like she knew something terrible and wonderful at the same time. It was a look, not only of longing, but of fear as well…and acceptance. “This is where I’m supposed to be.” The frost turned to jagged icicles stabbing down my spine. Even as she spoke the words, I heard a voice growing within me. Run, the voice was saying. Get out of the car and just run. Run like you’ve never run before and keep going, boy! Don’t look back. Don’t you ever look back! You won’t like what you’ll see. Just run, and keep on running. Run until you reach the end of the world! God only knows how I wanted to listen to that voice. As her words reverberated through my head, the voice inside me grew louder with every echo. Run! Run and don’t look back! I couldn’t explain it. There was really no reason for the way I felt. Terri wanted the place. It called to her in a way that I couldn’t understand…at least not at the time. Maybe that’s why it bothered me so much. Maybe it was simply because there was something going on that I couldn’t figure out…something I could never truly know. Whatever it was, even as strong as I felt it, I shook it off (at least for the moment) and smiled at her, but that smile felt as thin as stretched hose. One little snag, and it would run, and I with it. If Terri noticed anything wrong, she gave no indication…but I think she knew just the same. I think she knew a lot of things that day. If I had known, I’d never have gone along. I would have listened to that voice and run and never looked back. But I didn’t know. All I knew was there was a certainty in her look as well as in her voice that I simply couldn’t deny. To deny it would be to deny that the sun came up in the east, that the grass was green, and the sky blue. So I smiled at her. I smiled all the way back to Dalton. I smiled as the Realtor typed up the offer, and through dinner, and all the way back to the motel. That night after we made love and the lights were out, she lay sleeping next to me. She was curled into my arm. Her hand lay on my chest, and her knee was drawn up over my thigh. As sleep began to pull me under, I heard that voice whisper. Run.

This is more of a horror Christen book. Some Christians would take offense to some of the things in it, for example the statement, "Oh my God!" is considered taking the Lord's name in vein, but no bad words were in this book. Beware, it isn't for the faint of heart. Satan is depicted here, not as a beautiful Angel, but very putrid and vile. William is a very picturesque and emotional writer. You can see and feel what he put in words. You wouldn't even know this was Christian literature if you didn't read the author's notes at the end. There William breaks down the characters, discussing, from a Christian standpoint, various aspects of the story, Christian character and love. Would I recommend this book? Yes, but to only those that can handle this type of book. It isn't for everyone. I liked it. It has a very deep message. William is a deep twisted thinker to be able to write this! LOL But Oh so very talented! Think: Christian Stephen King

An exciting and unusual story!

Mike and Terri are newlyweds seeking a place to settle down. When they come across a farmhouse in Dalton, Arkansas, Terri falls instantly in love with it. Mike feels a bit uneasy about the place, but put his fears aside for the sake of his wife. Everything goes perfectly, and the young couple begin to enjoy their lives. But tragedy strikes in the worst way, leaving Terri and Mike devastated in the aftermath. Realizing that his wife needs something to help her heal, Mike puts together a plan. He buys Terri a pair of rabbits, and their Rabbitry was born.

Then, things get weird.

Terri names the rabbits after people they knew, and Mike began to see a strange connection between the rabbits and the people they're named for. But that's not the strangest connection, for Mike has now been getting visits from an imp named Murphy, who keeps telling Mike that things can only get worse from here. After that, Mike and Terri are thrust into a nightmare unlike any other. Can they solve the mystery of the rabbits, and figure out exactly who Murphy is, before it's too late?

Wow! This book took me for turns I didn't even see coming! The characters were so well written that you feel like you're there with them, watching them descend into madness. You feel their frustrations, their pain, and you sympathize with them. The setting is great, with details that help you visualize your surroundings but don't overwhelm you. The dialogue was to the point, there were actual issues and morals tied in to the story, and the suspense was very real.

I did have an issue with the format. There seemed to be too many paragraph breaks, and I did find some misspelling and punctuation errors. Other than that, this book was spot-on!

I give it a 4.5 out of 5. It's a great book, scary and suspenseful right to the very end. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good read!

suspenseful and seductive

I was sucked into this story with pure fascination of the characters that are honest and relatable. The story is slowly intoxicating giving you enough to keep intrest without spiraling too hard or fast into a fictional world. By the time the story does slip through it's rabbit hole you are attached with wonderment and disbelief that life could dish him yet another left hook. As the realization of the spiritual world settles in your stomach (and the character's) and the source of the evil is unveiled, your eyes will be violently searching for hope word after word, page after page until the very end.
