"Ek Chuah is one hell of a book -- a strange and evocative erotic
supernatural thriller, twisted and shocking in all the best ways. Cain's
writing is as tight as a fist, twisting around a supple throat as he turns
up the heat. The characters in this book go to places that will surprise
and horrify you. A great down-and-dirty read!"
—Michael Arnzen, author
of Play Dead
"ItÕs a fast, fun, tangled up pulpy surge of a novel. I recommend it to those who like their horror wet and chewy."
—Cemetery Dance magazine
"With its irreverent dialog and over-the-top action, CainÕs novel is not for the close-minded."
—Black Petals magazine
"Ek Chuah is a must-have for any lover of supernatural horror and/or gory action fiction."
—MaximumRocknRoll
"...a well-crafted novel that is not overly predictable, and is solidly presented..."
—Andrew McKenna, Albedo One
In
Australia, Pete Tate, an atypical accountant who is comfortable being a
gay man, takes pity on his best mate, Al Kurk, an overweight,
29-year-old virgin. Pete introduces Al to Amber, an exotic-looking
woman with the beauty of an ethnic supermodel. Amber seduces Al;
however, the morning after, she is gone and blood stains the room.
Meanwhile,
Ted Denebrae has been demoted from detective to constable due to having
sex with a 15-year-old informant. But Ted is given a second chance when
a psychopath kills three police officers and hospitalizes Ted’s former
partner.
Behind all of this is Ek Chuah, a manipulative Mayan
goddess who will do whatever it takes to fulfill her evil ambitions.
This time, she must not fail!
