Power Play

A twisted tragedy wherein the predator becomes the prey, set in ancient Mesopotamia.

Transcendence by Charles Hash is something I found while searching for zombie fiction. This isn't anything like a zombie story; in fact, this is more of a fantasy horror novella...kind of like something in the Warhammer universe.

A young girl refuses to be a virgin sacrifice, hoping for a better life with her secret love, only to suffer a fate worse than death. Somewhere in the darkness, a transformation ritual is carried out. An ancient entity grows in strength. A man wishes to be remembered always.

I liked the way the sections are divided by POVs. It really helps keep a steady buildup in the storyline. Loved the ending. I think this should have been a full-length novel.


As always,
