Addicts crave escape. Damion Deadson craves the truth—even when it's laced with heroin, stitched in witch-hunter scars, and steeped in fresh blood.
Three months after exposing Fairfield's occult underbelly, investigative reporter Damion Deadson is circling the drain. His demon lover, Zee, is trapped in a witch's crystal prison; his veins are swimming with junk; and a string of ritual disappearances is turning the city into a feeding ground for something ancient and ravenous.
Morganna—the immortal "witch-queen" who kidnapped Zee—offers a single, vicious bargain: murder Nathan Underhill, a legendary witch hunter who can shrug off magic and walk away from three bullets to the face, and Damion can buy Zee's freedom.
Simple…if Underhill wasn't already stalking Damion, if a Death Cult wasn't recruiting blood-drenched teens, and if the Order of Divine Ascension weren't tightening a noose around his family.
With a sarcastic Hellicorn for a getaway ride, a gunslinging Irish wizard, and a flaming elemental wolf as backup, Damion dives head-first into a labyrinth of back-alley raves, enchanted bullets, and eldritch conspiracies—each step dragging him closer to the truth, the needle, or the grave. To save Zee, find the missing kids, and stop a city-wide blood harvest, he'll have to decide which monsters deserve mercy… and which ones need a bullet, a blade, or a headline that burns their empire to ash.
Deadson: Cult cranks the noir-soaked magic of The Dresden Files, the feral swagger of Sandman Slim, and the relentless dread of Hellblazer into a heart-stopping cocktail of urban fantasy and horror. Buckle up: Damion Deadson is going to war, and this time the devil on his shoulder has teeth.
