Description
Jon Jacob sits alone in the pub. A bottle of whiskey pressed to his lips, he grieves by drowning in the drink. The memory of his daughter, too painful to reflect, Jon slips into the drunken abyss of his depression. His solitude, the final act, he prepares for his ending when a cunning Salesman intervenes with a bizarre proposition and an offer too tempting to ignore: revenge. The benefits of the deal, a handshake away, Jon must choose between leniency for the convicted or indulge in the seething hatred of his rage and accept the terms of his vengeance.
His decision sealed, Jon soon discovers the error of his haste and struggles to escape a world where souls are manipulated, and the condemned, bound in the shackled demand of a contract, inked in sin.
Advance Praise
This was an interesting take on the whole Faustian bargain type story.
It doesn't just follow the poor dupe who is corrupted into making a deal with the devil, but follows parallel plot lines that intersect with his.
This was an interesting method to use, but it really paid off. There are, however some gory parts, so if you like things more wholesome then this may not be for you (but if you're reading a story about deals with the devil, you likely don't want that).
All in all this was a quick, (a little under 100 pages) but engrossing story that I found quite good.
I'd definitely recommend it!
