Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
In 1973, a creature known as The Shaker appeared to four psychologists in Sourville, North Carolina, and began a game entitled "The Pandemonium," in which paranormal terrors would build up and leak out into the world for 33 years. The psychologists must successfully cure 33 of the town's most demanding patients before New Year's 2007, in which a keepsake from every cured patient must be offered as tithe in a process known as the Neon Funeral, which will mark an end to the game. If the psychologists fail, the entire town will be flung into an endless psychosis known as the Neon Void. It is 2006, and Dr. Faust, the last surviving psychologist of his era, is now tasked with fending off the massive unraveling of the townspeople's psyche while coming to terms with his failure to help his last two clients, as well as his own failing health. With a monstrous version of an irredeemable client from his past on the loose, a weary local detective may be his last serendipitous link to redemption.

About the author
Futurist, artist, philosopher, Taoist, accelerationist - Marcus is always seeking to push the limits. Donning the title of Avatar Xeno to represent his excursions into the xenopolitical, Marcus seeks to recalibrate the dignity of both on and offworld species for the highest good of all. His greatest achievement for laying the groundwork for this new reality is the discovery of a biological internet, affectionately dubbed the "Bio-Net". A natural intuitive, Marcus believes that the remnants of past civilizations - and the planet itself - are nowhere near the protocol taught to the masses. Since a child he has possessed deep spiritual ties to Antarctica. In his spare time, Marcus enjoys adventure, psychology, music, martial arts, futurism, debate, alternative history, fitness coaching, writing, sharpening his new ideas and perfecting his old ones. "Having thick skin and an open mind will take you farther than almost anything! Just go for it!" - Avatar Xeno Marcus
