Red Benediction: a Tale from the Book of Dark Memory Joseph Armstead

They're out there, in the dark, at the edges of your vision and haunting your dreams... alien demonic beings who hide behind the anonymous, normal faces of the people in your town. It is a paranoid's nightmare come to life. The Infernals are amongst us. Homicide Detective Glenn Saunders investigates a horrific series of murders and becomes shockingly aware of the existence of an underground society of psychotics and sexual deviants in his town, people who are members of a covert, cultish group who serve THE INFERNALS, ageless, shadowy beings from beyond the threshold of normal Space and Time. Complicating the dogged detective's battle against alien Evil, a group of amnesiac strangers arrive in town, mind-slaves of The Infernals, on the run from deadly crimes committed in their former lives. The arrival of these fugitives signals a countdown to a ceremony of mass murder that will allow open the floodgates to horror, allowing The Infernals free reign in our world. Saunders' investigation is further threatened by the fact that he, himself, is slowly being seduced into the service of The Infernals, infected by their madness, and his quest for justice soon becomes a journey for redemption. They're out there, in the dark, but they're coming closer, ever closer, their Evil eclipsing the Light... The Horror is here.
