Incubus: The Descent
"Readers not put off by graphic descriptions of violence and brutality, who look for the solid feel of horror paired with a complex dance between forces that vie for control, will find Incubus: The Descent both a powerful series addition and a readily accessible stand-alone read that draws readers into a king's mission and spins it into a story of rebirth, atonement, and redemption. Fans of literary horror will find Incubus: The Descent a worthy, involving read.“

“Horrifying and hysterical. I love this batsh*t book!”
Mark Miller (Hellraiser : The Toll, Next Testament)
The Animus Chronicles - Book 2
Throughout history there have always been those who tasked themselves with a mission to vanquish evil. None more so than those who would be seen as monsters themselves. Monsters who accept that the only way to conquer the darkness is to descend to the place where it was born, and meet it head on. Hell is what you make of it, and for Rebecca, Hell is what others have made for her, as her world crumbles into chaos and the fabric of reality tears in two. Even those she loves, hide a demons face...
What is the Animus?
The Animus is a collection of books written by Christian Francis. They are separated into two sections, The Chronicles and the Tales From. The Chronicles are novels about the large scale world changing stories, the Tales From are the novellas which are the smaller, more intimate tales which occur out of the scope to the main novels but dwell within that world. Neither The Chronicles or Tales From are told in order. They are fragments of a larger much more terrifying picture.

Somebody gave me this title after reading one of my books, but I'm going to give it to Christian...
He is the King of mind-f***ery!
I loved Everyday Monsters, but this one is on a whole other level. I loved the references to the first book, even though this was not designed originally as a direct sequel. Again, the imagery created by the descriptions was disturbing, vivid, in places simply grotesque and yet all encapsulating at the same time. During the scenes in the swamp and with the gatekeeper below it, I swore I could actually smell the place.
And the ending!
I know Christian has previously started a third entry in this series, and I am here to say, as I have on TikTok many times... get on with it Christian!

Don't read this while walking in public - It will make you question reality.
Or eating ...
I listened to the audiobook. It was a disturbing, fun, wild ride.
I don't normally leave extensive reviews, but I will say that this story had a lot of out-loud "What the F-" moments for me. It was unpredictable, horrifically gruesome, and a violation of your senses. It was great!
I'm only realizing now that this is book two of a series. I skipped book one, but I will be listening to that in the near future.

Christian Francis has done it again and created an amazing horror/fantasy story here. This is the 2nd book that I have read by him and it will not be the last. Be warned however, if you can't handle extreme gore, repulsive descriptions of bodily fluids, and very dark themes this book will not be for you. I personally loved this book, the story was very creative as well as original much like the first book in this series, and I absolutely love the author's sense of humor, especially when used in the midst of a very dark scene in the novel.
