Friends and Readers,
I am so excited to share with you all this little book, published today by my friends at Undertaker Books!
As they have described it:
The Al-Anbari Desert, Western Iraq:
Where haboob winds shift the landscape in mere minutes, confusing direction, burying Humvees in fine-grit sand...
Where U.S. soldiers take shelter in the ruins of a sandstone city hiding more than just its history...
Where an embedded journalist puts her life in the hands of men whose motives are not their own...
And where an Army chaplain’s faith is tested by an ancient evil.
Jonathan Gensler’s Into the Casbah and All The Way Through combines military horror and folk horror for a two-part nightmare excursion into the remnants of a forgotten desert city full of shadowy doorways and ancient whispers. First, we follow magazine writer Sarah Chambers as she gets the bloody inside story of a lifetime, then, U.S. Army chaplain Major Harris, whose role in this doomed recovery mission was assigned long, long ago.
Chambers and Harris thought they knew their assignments.
Too bad their assignments knew them better.
And then our first reviews coming in seem to love it as well.
From online horror hook reviewer, Milt Theodossiou:
“This was an amazing short read, a deliciously dark novelette of military horror set in the deserts of Western Iraq, during the Second Gulf War. Told in two parts, one presenting the posts of a female journalist attached to a military unit, the other the narrative of another unit tasked with recovering the survivors of the first, the story develops into a fast-paced and wonderfully complicated chronicle of a doomed mission, centered on the army chaplain following the second unit. A totally unexpected twist closes the tale, a reveal that could easily sustain a whole novel! Really well thought out, this is a powerful military horror tale rich in detail, brimming with dread and suspense! Highly recommend!”
