From J-F. Dubeau, author of The Life Engineered, a winning book in the Sword & Laser Publishing Contest, comes tour-de-force fantasy horror A God in the Shed.
Saint-Ferdinand is an bucolic farm village with houses on large, wild properties that radiate from a single main street. Here you will find a small police precinct, a single gas station and truck stop, a few restaurants diners and cafes, a flower shop, and Bergeron’s general store — the trappings of a quaint town. The only unusual thing about Saint-Ferdinand is the cemetery; it is far too large and much too full. The victims of a serial killer who has eluded the police for over two decades line the graveyard. Many locals have fled to escape the horror.
After Sam Finnegan is finally caught for the murder of over sixty victims, the residents of Saint-Ferdinand are still faced with evil. Venus McKenzy and her friends stumble upon a sinister creature, and by sheer accidental luck, Venus uses an ancient oath that traps it in a shed in her parents’ backyard. As they struggle to understand what they’ve caught and how to deal with it, the creature’s power and legacy manage to spread terror through the small town. Time and captivity have bred infinite bitterness in the creature and now its hatred is equal only to its power.
