Angelic Knight Press: William Cook : Angelic Knight Press is excited to announce that William Cook, a very talented author, poet, and artist/ illustrator from New Zealand will be gracing us with his presence in the form of his fantastic novel "Blood Related" which we are slating for release in December. We have to take advantage of the holiday season sales mania!  Yvonne, Stacey, and I are in love with this chilling horror, mystery tale.

Caleb is a disturbed young man whose violent father is a suspected serial killer and mother, an insane alcoholic.

Everything about her hit me deep in the chest, I sat bolt upright in our big empty bed. My breath gasped, sweat beaded itself on my cold skin. I could still hear her voice in the dark. I rationalized there were only two possible reasons why I could hear such a thing. I was either hallucinating, or what I heard was her ghost whispering in my ear. Then she was gone again.

The city begins to crumble & suck us into its vortex in a divine lesson of justice & revenge. We have joined hands with death & sin, never now to let go, w...
