When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee

Gus Moreno

4.42

Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of a child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American island town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, controversial exorcist.

Exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons... methods that predate even the Church. As Barrera seeks to unlock the mysteries of Stygian's strange practices, he uncovers an island rife with evil and supernatural phenomena.

What do these possessions mean, and how are they connected to a mysterious hospital patient, one who's been in a coma for nearly half a century without aging a single day?

Rising star author Gus Moreno, whose debut novel This Thing Between Us was awarded a "Best Book of 2021" recognition by NPR, joins forces with visionary artist Jakub Rebelka (Cyberpunk) for a mesmerizing and thrilling descent into Hell itself.

    The art style was great and the story was very well thought out. I was not expecting some of the twists.
