Wicked Prayer
“She stared through her bedroom window at a gothic city of the dead. Erik Hearse’s mansion was located on a remote stretch of jagged California coastline, a world away from Lilith’s native Rome. It was a place of marble and bronze statuary that had endured the ravages of time, a place of Monterey pine and gnarled cypress trees twisted by nature’s cruel hand. A place of spiked wrought iron, and granite-faced angels, and sadness made eternal by a sculptor’s chisel.
