Invocation: A Prelude to The Noctuary
The Dark Muse, Meknok, is in a desperate search for a new Scribe for Hell.
The tide of the war between order and chaos is turning and not in Hell’s favour.
The damnation of mankind is paramount, but without a Scribe to write evil into the lives of human souls, victory seems impossible.
There is but one hope. Meknok has sensed a gifted soul among the humans, a Scribe-in-the-making. All the Muse has to do is awaken him.
Invocation is the prelude to the forthcoming horror novella "The Noctuary", to be published by Damnation Books on December 1, 2011.
