Creepy at times, but that's a good thing.""The characters were engaging, and the mysteries and evil entities were intriguing and scary.""I watch just about all the ghost hunting and paranormal shows out there and I could swear Desmond Doane was more than a pen name for an author but rather for someone who actually worked on one of those shows as I marveled at his expertise at the back of the scene dynamics of these shows.""Is it astonishing to call a paranormal novel both scary and heartwarming? Both in-your-face horrifying and also touching?""My new best friend, Ford Atticus Ford. He's quite the flawed character but I love him anyway.""Well written and highly recommended. Two thumbs up.""Desmond Doane aka Ernie Lindsey has created a tale as good and as frightening as Koontz or King.""The Dark Man was a delicious discovery for a cool autumn evening.""If you're a fan of Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures, The Dark Man will deliver the terrifying "thrill" of hauntings that their cameras will never be so lucky to catch."

Morvicti Blood


Lee Swift - 2016
    But beware of shocking twists and unexpected surprises that keep on intriguing, readying you for the ultimate gut punch. A wild escapade.” —Steve Berry, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of “The 14th Colony” What if our very survival rested in the hands of one man? A dead one… Iraq, 2003: Navy SEAL Austin McCord meets with his own end when he takes a lethal bullet. A single heartbeat, and all is lost. But after more than a decade Austin awakens with no sign of an injury; not even a scar. Held in a subterranean medical facility in present-day London, Austin discovers no explanation for the death he so clearly remembers. There are only two things present for him to see: a picture of his twin sister sitting on a table beside his bed, and a body—absent its head—lying in a pool of blood on the floor. Fearing for his sister’s safety, Austin pushes his questions and confusion aside and races to find Angelique. Unfortunately, a killer is heading in the exact same direction as the heroic SEAL—an infamous murderer suspected to be dead long ago, who has miraculously survived to continue his rampage. As Austin attempts to save his sister, a web of lies, cover-ups, and a historical past unveils itself. He soon discovers that he and his loved ones are major targets in a far greater war that began long ago at the hands of a secret society known as the Morvicti. The deeper Austin plunges into their realm, the more escape seems impossible. And the harder he fights, the clearer it becomes that not only does Angelique’s life depend on him, but so does the rest of mankind. “Inventive and audacious, “Morvicti Blood” is a ground-breaking thriller. If Bram Stoker had written “A Game of Thrones,” this is the book he’d have produced.” —Andrew Grant, Bestselling Author of “Run”
