MIDAS by Tyler Jones, Earthling Publications, Limited signed edition, $60, ISBN:9781736928479.
I'm sure that the title might give you an idea about the subject matter of this years addition to the annual Halloween volume from Earthling Publications. It is always a welcomed addition to the season and one I look forward to every year.
This one is a bit different in that it is a western themed story about the search for the cause of the Midas touch and the cost you have to pay to possess it.
Jeremiah Pevensie, a former preacher, and his wife are suffering the loss of their young son when a dead man and his brother arrive at their farm.The dead man has a map that leads to an impossible location and promises great riches.
Solomon and his group of followers are also seeking for the map and will not let anything get in his way to find it.
After Jeremiah returns from his journey, he begins a building project that refurbishes the town and begins a construction project on a mansion that seems to have no end.
Jeremiah is also working on a project of his own that will return his wife to her former happier self.
The story is well written and has a different take on greed and how it can come in different ways. A husbands sacrifice, a zealots plan to rule the world, and a mothers love all lead to a story of terror the likes I have never read before.
Here is another winner from Earthling and you need to get a copy before they are gone. www.earthlingpub.com
