In return, Satan transformed this man into an immortal soul-feeding demon that must remain trapped in the mine until he gathers ninety-nine souls. How do you kill what can't be killed?

ISBN-13: 978-1934597255 ISBN-10: 1934597252 BISAC: Fiction / Horror Praise from George Andrade of "Horror News": "What is noteworthy about the legend in Ninety-Nine Souls, though, is that Malafarina takes advantage of it to reflect the idea that though it is easy to become cynical, amused and even bored with the small town happenings in this country we all know in our deepest selves that we’ve been there - that no matter how coiffed and educated ("civilized") we fancy ourselves to be we recognize deep down that but for the grace of God go ourselves, that but for the happenstance of our birthright, our locations or just plain luck we are not in a position where just plain bad luck, or an accident, can end our dreams of "getting out". The feeling of being trapped and powerless and the need to "do what you need to do to survive" is an ageless design in the patchwork quilt that is the American identity." "99 Souls is a terrific first novel, though, and a promising debut; it’s about small town conspiracies and the sins of our fathers, greed and corruption, supply and demand and the angst that accompanies them ... and eventual comeuppance. It just so happens to be a very sinister horror novel as well." Other Alecia Nye covers: "Burn Phone" by Thomas Malafarina "Pythagoras the Mathemagician" by Karim El-Koussa ... more to come!
