Description

Joey Sullivan, a veteran of the Iraq War, just got his nursing degree and is ready to start working with vets at a local hospital. Things go wrong from day one, however, as he's contacted by the spirits of dying vets who torment him in his dreams with memories of their horrific war experiences. The spirits won't leave Joey alone until he agrees to help them check off the last items on their bucket lists. In the meantime Joey continues to struggle with his own memories of war, grappling with the aftermath of that fateful day when his friend triggered a bomb that blasted him to bits, and gave Joey a traumatic brain injury that might be responsible for the second sight that lets him commune with the spirits of the dying vets.

“I'm not a huge one for fantasy for the most part, but I do enjoy it from time to time…and I really dug this one. Seriously nice stuff, easily convinced me to read the kind of story I normally don't choose to read.” –David S. Atkinson, author of Not Quite so Stories

"The Bastard's Grimoire immediately draws the reader into a pseudo-realistic middle-ages Germany, so vivid, that even the fantasy elements earn their place in history.
