Have a Demonic Halloween with "Whence They: Came: The Beginning," A Historical Biblical Horror Novel10/4/2018
“Whence They Came: The Beginning” is a historical biblical horror novel based on chapters 1 through 5 of the Book of Genesis told from a demon’s perspective. There’s really nothing else out there like it!
If you want to sit down and enjoy a horror novel for Halloween, enjoy this biblical retelling with angels, demons, and more in this. It has a witch, too! Here’s the lowdown: Vetis, the world’s first demon, seeks a human body to possess in order to spread darkness and evil upon a rapidly brightening world, but he cannot do it alone. He must have the help of a rival demon and his human sorceress in order to be successful. With his cohorts all on the same page, Vetis begins his quest by damning the first humans created by god. One generation later, Vetis’ human body is ready, but the man isn’t quite corrupt enough to possess. In order to get him to the required level of corruptness, he needs Lilith to convince the man to lay with his sister and kill his brother. Only then will the man’s soul be black enough to possess.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll be getting from “Whence They Came.” This is the scene where the two demons, Vetis and Asmodeus, first make their truce.
For more than a mega-millennium, Vetis and Asmodeus honored the invisible line they had drawn across the earth. It was not until 4,000B.C. that Vetis dared to cross the line, landing in front of Asmodeus as he walked across a field toward a new temple. “Vetis.” Asmodeus snarled and narrowed his gaze. “I am not here to fight you,” Vetis said. “I am here to inform you.” “Of what?” Asmodeus asked. “Have you seen the garden between our two lands?” Vetis asked. “I have,” Asmodeus said. “There is a man inside,” Vetis said. “An insignificant man,” Asmodeus said. “He is of no concern to me.” He stretched his wings as if to take flight. “He talks to god,” Vetis said. Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and lowered his wings. “Does he?” “And I have heard his lineage is the key to our unhuman immortality,” Vetis said. “Explain yourself,” Asmodeus said. “I have seen a lesser demon possess a human,” Vetis said. “We are far more powerful. By corrupting this man, we could possess his lineage and free ourselves of the caves and the darkness.” “You do not need my help,” Asmodeus said. “Simply corrupt the man and possess him.” “I cannot do it alone,” Vetis said as he circled Asmodeus, long blades of grass withering under his feet. “I have heard you have a human who practices sorcery.” “What of her?” Asmodeus asked as he followed Vetis with his red eyes. “With her help, we could gain human bodies and live infinitely in the human world,” Vetis said. “Instead of hiding in the caves.” Asmodeus narrowed his gaze and crossed his arms. “Why would she help?” “Once we have our human bodies, we can change her, allowing her to live infinitely alongside us,” Vetis said. “How are you so certain?” Asmodeus asked. “I have heard it whispered in the darkest caverns,” Vetis said. “You could have your human for all time.” Asmodeus weighed Vetis’ proposition. “This one thing. Then, we go our separate ways.” “Agreed,” Vetis said. Asmodeus watched him take to the sky before continuing his trek to the temple. He would need to observe this garden man. Asmodeus had thus far ignored him, deeming him useless. However, the odds of corrupting a man who speaks with god were so low that it piqued Asmodeus’ interest. Sound awesome? You’re not alone in thinking that. Here’s what one reader thought of “Whence They Came”: “As biblical retellings go, especially with a horror aspect told from the perspective of the demons and their wicked human, this is definitely a page-turner. It may not be your thing. But, if it sounds like it interests you just from the description alone, then this book is worth a read for you. Just be sure that you’re OK with a lot of sex between a demon and a human, and you’ll probably enjoy ‘Whence They Came.’”’ If this all sounds like something that’s up your alley, then “Whence They Came” should be worth a read for you! You can buy “Whence They Came: The Beginning” on Amazon in Kindle format or in paperback.
